 The suspense was great, but the romance only so-so. January 6, 2009
J. Kollasch (Vadnais Heights, MN)
If you like romantic suspense novels then the Bullet Catchers series would be a great read for you, unfortunately this is not the best of the series. It fell a little bit short for me in the romance department. br / br /Sage Valentine is troubled by the suicide of her roommate, and she doesn't believe her friend would do such a thing. She is a reporter and thinks that foul play caused by a fake male escort service is the reason for her roommate's murder. She goes to Lucy Sharpe, the head of the Bullet Catchers and her aunt to seek help, but Lucy refuses to give it to her based on her disbelief that the death was anything but suicide. Still she assigns one of her Bullet Catchers, Johnny Christiano to watch Sage in the event she does need to be guarded. Johnny pretends to be a male escort while watching out for Sage as they uncover more and more secrets to why her roommate was murdered. br / br /As far as the suspense and the mystery elements of the novel, it was a great one. I couldn't put the book down because I wanted to uncover who the killer was. It kept me guessing until the very end and completely surprised me. The thing that failed for me was the romance element. There was just something about the two main characters that bothered me. The sexual chemistry was there, but the personalities of the hero and heroine were kind of annoying. Johnny constantly talking about his abilities in the kitchen was a turn off for me, everything seemed to go back to one of his Italian recipes. Sage seemed bitter for most of the novel and recklessly stupid. In the end I didn't really care if they got together but I really wanted to see them catch the bad guy. The book is okay, and a pretty good installment in the series, I just hope that the next one is better.
 Rock Solid Writing August 4, 2008
Stephanie Lynch (Denver, CO)
St Claire hits another solid one. While this may not be out of the park for me like some of her others, it was still a very well-written book. The premise certainly can't be said to be run-of-the-mill nor can the characters. The heroine is desperate for answers about her roommate's death. She knows it wasn't a suicide and she is willing to do anything to get the information. That includes offering her body if she has to. br / br /The hero, one of St. Claire's always sexy, always alpha Bullet Catchers, is trying to infiltrate the organization who offers up "romantic" kidnappings and other edgy sexual fantasies. St. Claire delves into a very dark world with this book and does it well. br / br /I recommend this one to anyone who likes their suspense taut, dark and edgy.

This was the first Bullet Catcher book I read. Now I'm going to find the rest. I loved the fresh, contemporary plot. The hero, really is amazing. The sexual tension just about burns up the pages. br / br /
Unique story with romance mystery. A delicious hero who cooks in the kitchen bedroom. Heroine was disappointing annoying. October 31, 2007

The Bullet Catchers Series: br / br /Kill Me Twice br / br /Thrill Me to Death br / br /Take Me Tonight br / br / br / br /I'm hooked on this series. The heroes are always totally edible. The stories are enthralling. Roxanne St. Claire writes terrific mystery plots that keep you interested with plenty of twists. Some scenes are so intense you'll be literally holding your breath, while your adrenaline pumps through your body. Her outcomes are never easily predicted. I also love the fact that her hero characters tend to be muscle on the outside, but tender- hearted on the inside. When these guys fall in love, they are not afraid to let their woman know it. While drawing a gun with their right hand, they are holding their lover's hand with the left. "Johnny", the hero in "Take Me Tonight", fits that roll gorgeously. (And I do mean "gorgeous"! If you see his photo on Roxanne St. Clare's web site, it is the exact photo that is described of him in the midst of this story. Holy cow! HOT!!!!! Is it legal to look that good?!) br / br / br / br /Sage Valentine is an investigative reporter. She now is desperately investigating the murder of her best friend. She approaches her Aunt Lucy, founder of the Bullet Catchers, for help with the case. Lucy turns her down. Bullet Catchers are bodyguards, not detectives. However, Lucy knows that her niece is bound to keep hunting for answers. To keep Sage safe, Lucy sends her most loyal Bullet Catcher undercover. Johnny Christiano is given the task of hiding his position with the BC's so that he can watch out for Sage. Sage thinks he is just a beautiful man who wants to be her boyfriend. Johnny finds himself truly wanting that more and more. He fears Sage will never forgive him when she learns that he has lied about his identity. br / br /Sage's deceased friend, Keisha, was a cheerleader for Boston's NBA team, The Blizzard. Strange things are happening to Keisha's teammates. Some are disappearing, then showing up with memory loss. Others are being found dead. Keisha's death was pronounced a suicide. Sage doesn't believe it. To get the answers she seeks, Sage will dig into the twisted world that Keisha and her teammates are struggling to survive. Johnny can do nothing to convince Sage to stay out of danger. His only choice is to follow her in and help her find the answers, while keeping himself between Sage and those who would see her dead before she learns too much. br / br / br / br /My only disappointment with this book was Sage's character. I admire a heroine who is brave and strong. However I'm always turned off when "brave" crosses over to "completely without common sense". Johnny would try to scope out dangerous situations, gun in hand, moving room to room in silence, telling Sage to wait until he is sure it is safe. Instead of seeing the sense in that, Sage would totally ignore him and walk right into the room loudly and unarmed. Is she bullet proof, suicidal, or just stupid? It really bothers me when women are written to be so brainless. br /Worse, was the fact that Sage was extremely hypocritical. Part of Johnny's cover was pretending to work for a company where men would sleep with the clients. Over and over she referred to him as a "male prostitute". She had no respect for him because of the job. However, she believed that it was completely acceptable that she used sex to try to convince Johnny to give her answers for her investigation. She brings him to the brink of "completion", then stops cold and says she'll finish for him if he answers her questions. In my book, a prostitute is a prostitute... whether the fee is paid with money, favors, or answers. br /Sage's character brought this 5- star story down to a 4 for me. br / br /If you like romantic tales with protective men and modern women, try these: br /Extreme Exposure br /Hard Evidence br / br /Want to read the whole Bullet Catchers series? Here are the links to the first two books: br /Kill Me Twice (The Bullet Catchers, Book 1) br /Thrill Me to Death (The Bullet Catchers, Book 2) br / br /More Roxanne St. Claire favorites: br /French Twist br /Killer Curves
