Catch your breath after reading this!, October 7, 2006
After her friend dies in a suspicious car accident, getaway driver Jamie MacAlister spends a few months in mourning. When she is ready to move on with her life, she decides right her past wrongdoings by working for the good guys.
And so Getaway Girl (Silhouette Bombshell) by Michele Hauf begins with a roaring rescue operation and never slows its rapid-fire pace.
Jamie, code name La Lapine (French for `the rabbit'), a Scottish lass with a penchant for fast cars, thinks by working as a driver for The Faction, she'll be helping the good guys on rescue operations against the bad guys--The Network, her former employer. But in a world where thugs and supposed `good guys' operate beyond the boundaries of the law, how can Jamie really know she's working on the good side?
Enter sexy Sacha Vital, son to an evil man famous for his unsavory criminal activities. Sacha is rich, dangerously good-looking and deliciously flawed with his fastidious habits and his odd anger-management techniques. And though he's trying to separate himself from his father's nefarious business, Jamie suspects he's up to no good. But she decides she must join forces with Sacha in order to learn if he, or someone else, is responsible for the death of her friend.
While the strong characters make the story, Hauf's details of everything from Paris street scenes to delectable pain au chocolat and expensive cars are exquisite. If I had the money, I'd be out shopping for a BMW 3 series in Barrique Red right now. (Though I think my husband would opt for the Bugatti Veyron.)
Hauf's research is impressive, resulting in amazing imagery throughout the novel.
Getaway Girl is an exciting, fuel-injected race through the narrow streets of Paris with a heroine whose desire to be good conflicts with her love for fast cars and dangerous men.

Getaway with a thrill ride of a novel!, September 12, 2006
I had been sent some books to read and review, but GETAWAY GIRL by fellow Nocturne author Michele Hauf immediately screamed to get picked up!
I was not disappointed by this action-packed book about a former illegal race car driver who has turned to a new profession -- getaway driver. When the pick up of a kidnap victim goes south, Jamie McAlister finds herself in a bind that her speed skills may not help her escape.
This was a great read and totally interesting as it turns out that the one man Jamie may have to rely on is none other than sexy bad guy Sacha Vital! Be sure to getaway with Jamie on this thrill ride of a novel.

Transporter meets Lara Croft, March 20, 2007
This was a great, fast reading book. High points for action, adventure and while it is sexy, it isn't in your face. Very hard to put down - so I didn't until I finished it! I don't believe in giving the plot away in a review so buy it for yourself! Can't wait to find out what happens next to the remaining characters.
