{Review}
"Is this her?" I ask, as I look down at the picture, smoothing a thumb over the woman's face." (page 1, line 1)An exciting, sexy, fun read. Max is awesome. She's in your face, unapologetic, stubborn, and kick ass. Catch is a complex guy. I wondered how Poirier was going to get us to care about an assassin but she certainly succeeded.
I loved Max and Catch together, their interactions, the way they struck sparks off of each other, their chemistry. Being together is not easy for either of them, Max doesn't trust anyone and Catch is struggling to deal with the emotional toll his job has taken on him. Neither can deny the chemistry between them so they say no strings, just sex, but then what is between them becomes so much more...
"I know this time is going to be different. The moment he touches me everything will be different." (location 1929)Other than a small lag near the end I thought the pacing was great, it was go, go go, flip the pages as fast as I could. I was excited to read that this is going to be a series with the next one featuring characters that first appeared here, I'll be watching for it. So, if you're looking for a feisty heroine, a complicated alpha male and an exciting storyline definitely give Catch a try.
Oh, and the cover? Gorgeous! I wish I was a redhead...
