Now You Die (The Bullet Catchers, Book 6) [Mass Market Paperback]

Roxanne St. Claire (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 26, 2008

Former Bullet Catcher and lone wolf investigator Jack Culver is on a mission. Thirty years ago, an innocent woman was convicted of murder. Jack believes he's found the real killer -- but to take down one of the highest legal authorities in the land, he needs access. Serious access. Unfortunately, the one person he knows with that kind of power is his ex-boss and ex-lover, the woman who still haunts his dreams.

Bullet Catchers owner Lucy Sharpe realizes she's being used for her connections, and she intends to use Jack Culver right back. She's determined to see justice served, even if that means partnering with the man who once found his way past her iron shields. This time, she'll be strong enough to avoid Jack's persuasive touch.

But when passion flares, and they become the killer's target, Lucy and Jack don't just break some rules -- they shatter them. And that means risking everything: their jobs, their hearts...and their lives.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally!, August 24, 2008

This review is from: Now You Die (The Bullet Catchers, Book 6) (Mass Market Paperback)

At last! The long-awaited story about Lucy Sharpe is here. And if you thought Lucy's story was going to be exciting, think again. It's not just exciting, it's electrifying and full of more twists than a Chubby Checker dance contest. Lucy has secrets that both haunt and drive her. We've seen her brains and business acumen in past books; now we see her in action, and she's smart, swift, sharp (no pun intended) and deadly if necessary. In NOW YOU DIE, she's teamed up with former Bullet Catcher Jack Culver to investigate a thirty-year-old murder and the cover-up that's left a trail of dead bodies. Jack left the Bullet Catchers under less than ideal conditions and it's only with great reluctance that Lucy agreed to work with him again. But put them together, and they're like oil and water, fire and gasoline. They're two bullet trains headed toward each other at breakneck speed and when they collide... POW! Jack has the cojones to get in Lucy's face and push. And he keeps on pushing to make sure justice is served. Both of them have emotional baggage that's big and black and way too heavy for current airline regulations, and this is what makes these characters so alive and intriguing. This most unlikely pairing of characters creates sizzling sexual tension and heart-stopping suspense. NOW YOU DIE is written so it can stand alone, but it you read the lead-in books, FIRST YOU RUN and THEN YOU HIDE, this book will have much more impact because you'll have the entire story. Get comfortable and pour a tall, cool drink because once you start reading, you won't put this book down til you've turned the last page.

5.0 out of 5 stars Get to know the real Lucy Sharpe, November 1, 2008

This review is from: Now You Die (The Bullet Catchers, Book 6) (Mass Market Paperback)

Former cop and Bullet Catcher Jack Culver is dedicated to finding out who framed a woman falsely imprisoned for a murder she didn't commit, after reuniting her with the daughters that were adopted on the black market. He suspects that the girl's father is a Supreme Court Justice, but how far is he willing to go to keep his secret? His former boss, the shadowy and elusive former CIA agent Lucy Sharpe is in a position to help him set a trap for the shady justice. But their shared past and feelings for each other surface at the most inopportune times. Can Lucy let down her walls long enough to let Jack in?

Readers familiar with the Bullet Catcher series will relish Lucy's story, which seems to have taken forever to be revealed. Writer St. Claire has finally given readers insight into Lucy's past and the events that shaped her into the mysterious head of the elite Bullet Catchers. The passionate love-hate relationship between Jack and Lucy burns up the pages and enables readers to forgive the author for waiting so long to tell the story. But the series is definitely not over; Dan still has a story that needs to be told.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lucy's story at last!!!!, August 26, 2008

This review is from: Now You Die (The Bullet Catchers, Book 6) (Mass Market Paperback)

Roxanne St. Claire is the hottest thing in romantic suspense - I love her books and the smoking Bullet Catcher guys. This book DOES NOT disappoint. Lucy has always been a favorite character and I'm so happy to see her get her guy. This trilogy has been a fun, wild ride and I'm sad it's over. Maybe I'll go read them again until the next Bullet Catcher book comes out.
