SOMEONE TO WATCH OVER ME
 
Working for Last Chance Rescue, Cole Mathison has been to hell and back. But being responsible for the death of an innocent man is a hell like no other. Longing for redemption, Cole finds himself embroiled in the mysterious disappearance of Keeley Fairchild’s young children. Rescuing the children is his mission—but falling in love with the widow of the man he inadvertently killed was never in the plans. When Keeley’s life is threatened, Cole’s demons must take a backseat to the most important mission of his life.

More About the Author

Growing up in a tiny community in Alabama boasting only one stop sign and a gas station gave Christy ample opportunity to create daring adventures in her head. When she wasn't thinking of her story characters, Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys kept her entertained and out of trouble. Later came the chills of Stephen King and the thrills of John Grisham, but the romance genre always held a strong place in her heart.

After leaving her career with a major insurance company, the characters in her head came alive again and Christy decided to write her own stories. And now, she and her characters couldn't be happier.

A member of Romance Writers of America and International Thriller Writers, Christy lives in Alabama with her husband, two incredibly cute canines and one very shy turtle.

This is the second book in the chance trilogy By Christy Reece and they have been great. I've thoroughly enjoyed them, but even before this trilogy I read most of the books involving the LCR people. They were all excellent. This one was about Cole and the guilt he felt after being captured and drugged while on a rescue mission and while drugged killing an innocent man. He feels responsible for the man's family and decides to watch over them. When Last Chance Rescue finds the doctor responsible for the drugging and killings Cole is asked to help with the final ending of this man. Once away Keeley is left without protection and her children are stolen from her and sold. Cole is then determined to find and return the children to their mother. He has a secret that he is unable to share with Keeley and over time finds he has fallen in love with her. A story of revenge and jealousy. It was a very satisfying read and held my attention.

This review is from: Second Chance (Mass Market Paperback)

Although it is true this has been a favorite author and series of mine from the beginning, this book is perhaps my favorite of the lot. Although it is not necessary to have read the earlier books, having read the first trilogy, especially Run to Me, sure adds to the story. Getting 'reaquainted' with characters from the earlier books is a definite plus.
Cole's story is full of emotion. If ever a man deserved a happy ending, it's Cole. He is at once a tough agent and a gentle man with the kids in the story. Keeley is a perfect blend of vulnerability and strength.
As for deciding who the villian is, I changed my mind several times during the story. Although the identity of the villian was not a total surprise, the fact that I was never quite sure who it was, made the story that much more fun.
This books is dark in places and incredibly sweet in others. My advice? READ THIS BOOK!
Can't wait for the next in the series, LAST CHANCE, due out next month.

5.0 out of 5 stars No "Second Chance" needed -- Winner on the first try!, March 27, 2010

Continuing her Last Chance Rescue series, Christy Reece has written yet another great installment. Packed with emotion, Cole and Keeley's story is intense, loving, sensual, and suspenseful. CR weaves an exciting plot that tugs on a number of emotional heartstrings. There are scenes in this well-developed story that bring tears to your eyes and scenes that send chills down your spine. A return visit by some of the characters from previous books adds an extra dose of nice! Sometimes I've read and enjoyed a first book in a series only later being very disappointed by subsequent books in the same series. Not so with Christy Reece's LCR series; there's never been a disappointment. Her skill is in creating amazing stories. Romance is always front and center; however, there is always plenty of suspense to keep you on the edge of your seat. I find myself devouring her books as fast as my eyes can read. I highly recommend SECOND CHANCE and also the entire Last Chance Rescue series. These books are pure reading pleasure for anyone who loves the winning combination of romance and suspense.
