Roxanne St. Claire wows us again!, Jun 23 2008
By L. R. Warnock "Lyn" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Then You Hide (Mass Market Paperback)
THEN YOU HIDE by Roxanne St. Claire is the second in the "Bullet Catchers Trilogy." Able to stand alone, you won't want to put down this story of suspense, intrigue, murder and of course a fantastic love story. Once again Ms. St. Claire wows us with her prose, keeping us on the edge of our seats until we've turned the final page.
Wade Cordell isn't really a Bullet Catcher - at least not yet. So far he has worked only contract jobs for them but now they want him to be a permanent part of the team. But Wade is just not sure that is what he wants to do with his life. While he's making up his mind he takes an assignment that lands him in the Caribbean. It is supposed to be more vacation than work. It seemed simple, find Vanessa and bring her back to meet her birth mother. He finds out fast enough that this is no vacation.
Vanessa Porter is looking for her best friend. He disappeared a month earlier and her gut is telling her that something is definitely wrong. She takes a vacation from her high-powered job with a investment firm and tries to follow his path. The only friend she's had in years she won't stop searching for Clive until she finds him. Even if a hunk who qualifies as an "11" on her scale tries to stop her!
The sparks fly between these two from their first meeting and you'll be as hot as the Caribbean sun while waiting for these two to finally get together. And boy when they do, I'm surprised the pages weren't smokin'.
Ms. St. Claire has another winner here! The story is gripping and drags you through the beautiful Caribbean on a deadly chase and a race against time. I loved FIRST YOU RUN but THEN YOU HIDE blew me away. The story is excellent and the sex is scorching. Trust me you will want to take this book and hide so you can finish it in one sitting as I did. Excellent job Ms. St. Claire, I am waiting with bated breath for the next book in this dynamic trilogy.

SUN, SURF, SEX AND SUSPENSE - NOT NECESSARILY IN THAT ORDER!, Aug 16 2008
By KATHLEEN IRENE PATERKA - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Then You Hide (Mass Market Paperback)
Sun, surf, sex and suspense - Bravo! Fans of Roxanne St. Claire will surely applaud her latest read - THEN YOU HIDE - proving once again she's Queen of Suspense. The second in her trilogy of Bullet Catcher adventures is guaranteed to keep you reading through the night for the ultimate "who-done-it" conclusion. Vanessa Porter, a 31 year old Wall Street high flyer, is in the Caribbean, but not to take advantage of the sunshine. She's on a mission to track down her colleague and best friend, who mysteriously disappeared while on vacation. Meanwhile, Bullet Catcher Wade Cordell is on a mission of his own. He's been assigned to track Vanessa down. Seems Vanessa is the only chance in helping solve a thirty year old mystery and save a woman's life - a convicted murderer who happens to be her birth mother. Ms. St. Claire treats her readers to 349 pages of a wild ride in the Caribbean sunshine with this latest Bullet Catcher adventure! Be sure and watch for the last book of the trilogy - NOW YOU DIE (available September 2008). Mine is already on order.

Even Better Than All The Rest, Jun 23 2008
By Romance Fan - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Then You Hide (Mass Market Paperback)
I'm a fan of the Bullet Catchers, and this book was, in my opinion, the best of a really good series. This time, the author paired a hard-edged heroine with some real pain in her past and a super sexy gentleman hero who actually believes in commitment. I loved these two together! The story takes place in the Caribbean Islands, and starts off with action and never lets up. The plot twists come fast and furious from the beginning to the end. Like the first book in the trilogy, the Bullet Catchers want to find the daughter of a woman in jail who needs a bone marrow transplant to live. And that's where the similarity to the first book in the trilogy ends - this story is completely stand alone (something readers will like, I think, so they don't have to read the first one, but it's good, too) and these two characters go on an entirely different kind of adventure. The sex is steamy, the bad guy was a total surprise and there are a couple of secondary characters that are unforgettable. I can't wait for the last book in the trilogy - and it's out in August. I love Lucy!
