Running for Cover


MCCOY, SHIRLEE
RUNNING FOR COVER

Morgan Alexandria moved to Virginia to escape her past...but her past isn't ready to let her go. Thanks to her ex-husband's shady dealings, someone's after her, and if it weren't for Jackson Sharo, she might already be dead. Can Morgan trust Jackson? Maybe not. The former big-city cop is practically a stranger. But trying to handle everything on her own just leads to new disasters. And without Jackson's help, she could find herself running right into a trap...

OPENS WITH HEART-STOPPING ACTION AND SUSPENSE. I LIKE SHIRLEE MCCOY'S STYLE BUT I'D LIKE TO SEE HER WRITE A LONGER BOOK SO SHE HAS THE CHANCE TO DEVELOP THE ROMANTIC SIDE OF THE STORY. SHE IS LIMITED BY WORD COUNT IN THE LOVE INSPIRED SUSPENSE LINE AND WHILE SHE SUCCEEDS IN CREATING A BELIEVABLE BOND BETWEEN JACKSON AND MORGAN, I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO SEE MORE DEVELOPMENT IN THE ROMANTIC ANGLE. STILL, THE SUSPENSE IS SOLID AND THE WRITING SUPERB. A GOOD ESCAPE READ.

  1. Kav - I always thought I read a lot of books, but you beat me by miles. And you're reviews are always so well written & helpful, some of the best I've seen on the Web.

  2. LOL. Brenda, I read on the bus while commuting to work so that helps. You can't read while you drive -- at least I hope you don't! Plus I've had a TON of ER and health clinic visits over the last two months and that's good for a solid hour or two of reading.
