Hunt Her Down
4 Stars

Fourteen years after the devastating night in which she witnessed an FBI assault on a drug lord's warehouse, Maggie Varcek comes face-to-face with the agent who betrayed her trust. Now a Bullet Catcher, Dan Gallagher has returned to ensure Maggie's safety as the Jimenez family is out of prison and looking for revenge. Can the two overcome their past to ensure their future?

A huge improvement on the previous bookt both in terms of the suspense plot and in terms of the romance.

Several reviewers have mentioned their disappointment in the pairing of Dan and Lucy with other characters. Personally, the idea of a relationship between these two never appealed as whatever minimal connection and chemistry existed between the two remained underdeveloped.

Similar to Lucy and Jack, Dan and Maggie's romance is based on second chances and forgiving past grievances. However, unlike the first couple, Dan and Maggie's chemistry is off the charts and their snappy dialogue hits all the right notes.

The suspense plot is gripping with none of the immaturity or unprofessionalism that characterized Jack and Lucy's story. The villains are sufficiently menacing and the action is intense and satisfying.

In sum, this book returns to the series' roots with a hunky hero and admirable heroine, intriguing plot and compelling secondary characters. Looking forward to the 8th and final installment.
