When Krista catches her boss doing the unthinkable, the only thing she can do is run. Straight into the arms of the eye-candy she’s been trying not to flirt with on her lunch break. But whose side is he on?
Ryan’s security firm is having a hard time getting off the ground, and this may be just the job to help the company out. But pseudo-bounty hunter isn’t really what Pierce Securities is trying to get a name for. When he finds out their target is the classy lady from the park, all of his senses go on high alert. What do these men want with her?
When Krista is forced into Ryan’s sanctuary in the woods, she realizes just how wild he is, and that she doesn’t want to tame him. He may feel his methods of protection endangered her, but without Krista in his life, Ryan is crazed.
This is book #1 in the Pierce Securities, a Romantic Suspense series by Anne Conley, author of the Stories of Serendipity and The Four Winds.
Craze by Anna Conley -- 3.5 stars This was my first time reading anything by Ms. Conley and the first in the series of the Pierce Securities books however I understand that each book will stand on its own. This is a decent easy read as far as the depth of the characters. HOWEVER there is what I would consider a “trigger” that would make some readers but the book down within the first few pages. The act in which Krista witnesses is pretty graphic and did NOT sit well with me. Im not sure why that particular crime was chosen but maybe there is a reason. It’s a definite shock value and involves a child. On to the story: Krista is living a pretty average and unexciting life. Most all her time is spent working. The little time she has that she enjoys outside work is spent with her family that is close; her sister and her nephew. While spending her lunch breaks in the park, she notices and begins watching a man -- she fantasizes about him; if only she could have him. Unexpectedly when leaving work late one evening, she witnesses something horrific that will change her life forever. Ryan, works for Pierce Securities. Business isn’t booming and the company needs all and any work they can come by. However when a new client walks in and offers them a job, they accept it the job even though something seems VERY off. Not being able to afford to be choosey; the guys accept the job. Ryan is put in charge of the case and soon realizes the “focus” of the job is the girl from the park. The woman he has been daydreaming about since the first time he saw her. From this moment on things start to unravel. Krista and Ryan are forced together with each of them making excuses for why they cannot be together. This back and forth between them does get quite frustrating but the story does continue to move forward with several other issues. Trouble finds Krista and the situation was a little hairy for me ONLY because of the initial crime. If you can get past the first couple of pages this is a decent read. Try the sample and if you like what you see on the pages give it a one click!
