Dr. Joe Scarfili runs. He’s a runner. It’s how he copes with emotional pain.
When his wife was murdered, he ran from violent Detroit to insular Grosse Pointe. He ran from his smothering, caring family to long hours in the operating room. But when he falls for Gianna, another run could cost him everything.
Nurse and entrepreneur Gianna Donnatelli is on the verge of making her dreams come true. Her company is poised to go public with a product guaranteed to revolutionize medical care and at the same time help revitalize Detroit, only she’s attacked, stalked, and flattened by an explosion. Then the danger escalates.
With Gianna’s life at stake, Joe can’t run. Despite the fact that he has no police or tech experience… Despite the fact that Gianna’s penchant for aiding Detroit’s underprivileged is the same kind of altruism that got his wife killed… Despite the fact that Gianna pushes all his insecurity buttons… This time, Joe will do whatever it takes to keep her safe.
And Gianna protects those she loves just as fiercely. Together they’ll fight to save each other and their love... Or die trying. AMAZON
Although this book had a slow start it also had some really interesting people in it. The main characters were likable, interesting and you could see their strengths and flaws. In the beginning there was more than one time I wanted to slap some street smarts into Gianna, because she really was naive and did some dumb things. She was the smartest dumb person around. Although Joe did a dumb thing or two himself. Gianna got her stubbornness from her father, and that just added to the problems. And there were plenty of those to go around. The early days of Gianna and Joe seeing each other again were not easy ones either. I really liked Pat, he's a Detective and also a close friend of Joe's. There were also other good secondary characters to the story who added to the story. There were plots and subplots, with plenty of questions that needed to be answered. And, I'd say that they did get answered, with more than a few twists towards the end. Everything flowed and tied together in the end. I will tell you though, there was a time or two when I thought that the story dragged a bit but it wasn't for very long.
If you are looking for a book with plenty of action, plenty of mysteries, danger and romance. This is it.
I received an ARC of this book via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
