Product Description:
Fourteen years ago, undercover FBI agent Dan Gallagher watched his lover, Maggie Varcek, flee into the Miami night as gunfire exploded around them. Now a Bullet Catcher, Dan has learned that drug lord Ramon Jimenez is out of prison after the FBI bust Maggie unwittingly aided, and is looking for revenge. Determined to protect the woman who still haunts his memory, Dan tracks Maggie down, undercover once again -- until his identity is stunningly blown. Furious at his past betrayal, Maggie refuses Dan's help, yet the passion between them still burns irresistibly hot. Then Ramon strikes terrifyingly close. The Jimenez family will do anything to gain the key they believe Maggie holds to their hidden fortune, and the rejoined lovers are forced into a race against time, trying to unlock the secret before everything they hold most dear is destroyed...forever.

This is my favorite kind of Bullet Catcher book -- compelling characters, dangerous situations, some humor mixed in, and the edgy, fast-paced writing style I like so much from St. Claire (but which can be hit or miss in some of the Bullet Catcher books). I must have missed a book in the series, though, because I didn't know the question of a Lucy-Dan connection had been resolved. Guess I'll have to hunt down that book and read it. I loved how St. Claire used Maggie's bracelets as a 'signal' for the two main characters. It works perfectly as a device to show the long history/connection between the two and as a tactical device. Very neat twist. As is the valuable 'key' that Maggie holds, not knowing its significance, or that it's only part of the whole (don't want to say much more and spoil the story). Very well done.

Hot, fast and sexy. A little slow starting, but the action picked up as always with her books. Worth the read.

With perilously risky danger entwined with fervently passionate emotions, there is hardly a moment in HUNT HER DOWN when the pace slows down enough for you to catch your breath. Whether this is the first time you have met Dan Gallagher or a delightful revisit, you will devour his enthrallingly suspenseful story which features a spirited woman from his past. The latest Bullet Catchers book by the creative Roxanne St. Claire has perilous threats at every turn and sky-high sexual tension ready to ignite with the slightest spark of responsive awareness.
At eighteen, Maggie Varcek made some mistakes, especially the one where she took up with Ramon Jimenez whose family turned out to be extremely dangerous because of illegal dealings. The one bright spot in her life was the secret relationship with a man employed by the lawbreakers, until the night a FBI drug raid revealed him to be an agent, one who completely betrayed her trust. Although it has been fourteen years since Dan Gallagher "died" during the successful bust, the current Bullet Catcher agent still remembers the woman who unintentionally helped the FBI by giving him information during their hidden affair. With the drug dealer and his equally ruthless father newly released from prison, Dan is worried they may want payback. So he goes to Florida to inform Maggie so she can be cautious, but not let her learn his actual identity as his undercover look was much different.
When Dan checks out Maggie at the bar she runs, he likes the woman he discovers even more than her younger self whom he knew years ago. She is also attracted to him, and flirtatious banter is shared. Regretfully, the sparks quickly die when she learns his true identity, and she lets him know his help in not needed. When the past once again threatens Maggie because of some unknown mystery tied to her, Dan must convince her to let him handle things or those in her new life may not be safe from the goals of determined criminals.
Heart-stopping and fierily sensuous describe the romantic suspense stories by Roxanne St. Claire. There is always an innovative mix of gripping danger and steamy romance all thorough her books, where uncertainties are frequently the only predominant factor. Mysteries are definitely plentiful in HUNT HER DOWN, and their revelations are repeatedly surprising. These unexpected truths sometimes completely change the direction of the story, and the reader is left even more doubtful about the future of beloved characters. As one comes to know Dan and Maggie intimately, both their hopes and apprehensions, their having a lasting relationship becomes especially imperative. With their every inner feeling being so clearly depicted, one can also sense these almost tangible sentiments. If the moment is fueled by their potent sexual attraction, the scene sizzles with enough blazingly overwhelming heat to spike your own pulse. With some deeply troubling past issues to overcome, this couple has some difficult paths from which to choose and their final decisions are the result of much soul-searching. All of the characters in this book are some of the most genuinely portrayed individuals I have read lately, as their personalities are shown with distinctive traits, some easily admired and others totally abhorred. The conversations are also exceptionally realistic, particularly those between Dan and a fellow male Bullet Catcher, where I was left smiling from their validity. The setting for the following book in this compelling series is carefully laid, and I cannot wait! HUNT HER DOWN is an adventure of the heart filled with dangerous escapades and passionate encounters.

A new fan of Ms. St. Clair, I took time to read every single one of her books. Salivating while waiting for Dan's story in Hunt Her Down, I didn't know how she would be able to top herself one more time. With uncanny ability, she delivered again with another action-filled, gut wrenching tale of love and suspense, making me stay up all night to finish the book. As I suffer through the pains of withdrawal while waiting to read her latest release, Make Her Pay, I feel with 100% certainty that Roxanne St. has mastered this genre and is here to stay.

As always St. Claire doesn't disappoint. Easy reading and just what I expected from this author. Definitly worth the time/money to read.
