She watched him die, but it was all a lie. Now he's back, on a path of revenge, and she's his primary target.

The Danger Has Only Begun

Having survived a brutal childhood, Sabrina Fox believed she could handle anything. That was before she watched the love of her life die before her very eyes. Brokenhearted, her emotions on lockdown, she finds purpose and hope as an LCR Elite Operative rescuing victims from some of the most volatile places in the world.

Covert ops agent Declan Steele is used to a life of danger and deceit, but when the one person he trusted and believed in above all others sets him up, he’ll stop at nothing to make her pay. Finally rescued from his hellish prison, Declan has one priority—hunt down Sabrina Fox and exact his revenge.

Trusting no one is a lonely, perilous path. Sabrina swears she’s innocent and Declan must make a decision--trust his heart or his head. As memories of their life together returns, he realizes just how treacherous his torture had been and the target of his revenge shifts. But when Sabrina is taken, retribution is the last thing on his mind. With the assistance of Last Chance Rescue, Declan races to rescue the only woman he has ever loved before it’s too late.

5.0 out of 5 stars Suspense with plot twists
Reviewed in Australia on 1 June 2019

What a great novel! A feisty kick-arse heroine and an equally strong partner, suspense, intrigues and a couple of plot twists you don't see coming. What more could you want? I was a bit wary when I first started reading this book as I have previously read several in this genre and been severely disappointed, not so with this book. Once started it was very hard to put down and I can't wait to read more by this author.

I really enjoyed this story, my first by this author. The plot was fast-paced and action-packed - almost too much action with the horrible things the characters go through. I really liked both Sabrina and Declan as well as many of the minor characters. Having not read any of the Last Chance Rescue series, I did feel as if I was missing out on a bit of back-story when characters were brought into the current story, but it didn't spoil the enjoyment. I'll definitely be reading more of these.

I absolutely loved this action packed romantic suspense. The characters were engaging and the plot kept me guessing as to the bad guys for a long time.

I found Declan and Sabrina's love story heartbreaking especially the torture scenes which are certainly not for the faint hearted.

Betrayal is at the heart of the story. But the question all the way through is who betrayed who and can love really survive in such circumstances. The answer is yes, of course but Christy takes the reader on one hell of a ride before our heroes get their HEA

5.0 out of 5 stars Action packed romance!
Reviewed in India on 27 March 2020

I love love love this book. The first thought that rushed into my mind while reading this was, why the hell did I put off reading this book for so long?

I have always enjoyed a good romantic suspense that keeps me on my toes. This is so damn good. The prologue hooked me right away, (I never skip prologue because to me they always hold something that makes sense later into a story). I knew something bad is going to happen and when it did, I was really holding my breath to read how this was going to play out.

Declan Steele and Sabrina Fox are undercover agents for a secret government agency. The couple's marriage is a secret known only to a few. On their last night together, Declan tells her that he plan's to leave the agency and start new. But after two months, Sabrina witness her husband blown to bits and pieces on her way to meet him.

Sabrina continues on her missions with a bleeding heart, throwing herself into work as it was the only thing that keeps her growing. But after a successful mission, she's taken. She's locked and bound in a dusty cell. Her captor's voice oddly feels familiar and it's even shocker to see it was her dead husband.

The rest of the book answers what really happened to Declan and why he's back with a vengeance to kill his once beloved wife. I enjoyed the roller coaster ride and many parts of it made me so emotional. I was literally scratching my head to figure, who the real villain is and 50% figured it out toward the end. But it was still a surprise.

Christy Reece is my new favorite author and I'm definitely devouring her other books in the series. The writing style blew my mind away and a few times I stopped to re-read a sentence because it was so good. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a good action packed romance.

Spoiler Alert: The book has a happy ending.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Series Gets Better & Better

This is one of the BEST Reece books yet. I love her LCR series, but this is a standout favorite of the series.

SYNOPSIS NO SPOILERS:
Secret Agents marry. The wife leave the secret ops world, and joins LCR in order to save people, and her sanity in the process. Hubby gets snatched. The bad guys set it up to look like he was killed. He is tortured, and about a year later rescued. He has been brainwashed to believe his wife set up his kidnaping. Fueled by a need for revenge, hubby kidnaps his own wife and threatens her life. She is overjoyed and astonished to find out he is alive, BUT disillusioned and heartbroken to know he hates her and blames her for his months of torture.

The rest of the book is about hunting down the evil people, and the married secret agents sparring and slowly reconciling. The man says he’s just a shell of a man, and claims he’s ‘running on empty’ (the title), and has nothing left for her. The woman is stubborn and continues to focus her love on a spouse that despises her and wishes her dead.

WHAT I LIKE:
This is a fast paced suspense romance that doesn’t slack off. It doesn’t have much of gooey, relationship stuff without some bullets flying, so I’d give it 10 stars if I could.

I like the characters. Good and bad, emotional, hurting, honorable, they have all the ‘right stuff’.

The best part is that this is part of a series. If you haven’t read the LCR series yet, you will LOVE them. They can all be read as a stand alone, or even out of order.

I MET THE AUTHOR:
I met the author at Lori Foster’s Reader Get Together a year or two ago. She is AMAZING! This is this little unpretentious gal that looks like she is a school teacher She was so humble and kind. I was bowled over in amazement that one of my favorite authors was waiting in line next to me to meet some other big authors. Needless to say, I got her autograph and probably made a fool out of myself bumbling around, humiliated that I didn’t have any of her books with me for her to sign. I have ALL of her books, but I didn’t see her name on the author list, so I didn’t bring any with me. This is one author that is a true artist. Her books are edgy, clever, original and entertaining, and I put them on my very limited coveted “To be Read Again” book shelf.
