Hot On His Trail (Silhouette Intimate Moments, No 1097) [Paperback]

Linda Winstead Jones (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 1, 2001

The trial was supposed to be television reporter Shea Sinclair’ s big break— her chance to show the world she wasn’ t just some empty-headed “ weather girl.” Then she became the story when Nick Taggert, a contractor on trial for murder, bolted from the courtroom and took her with him— at gunpoint… .

But she soon found herself an all-too-willing “ hostage.” This man was dangerous, all right— especially to a woman who looked too long into those beautiful blue eyes of his— but he was no murderer. And she intended to help him prove it. Because when they were finished running from the law, she was going to make him her prisoner— for life… .

5.0 out of 5 stars Intense plot and extraordinary motivation, August 2, 2001

No one cares about the truth when the judge announces Nick Taggert's conviction of murdering his neighbor. The police had their conviction; the D.A. had his win. With an easily framed man in front of them, their convenient patsy receives a guilty verdict. In shock the justice system fails him, Nick throws caution to the wind -- ten months of good behavior had lowered his guard's defenses -- and he flees the courtroom. With no where to run and no help in sight, Nick grabs a nearby reporter to use a hostage and they leave the courthouse behind.

Reporter Shea Sinclair was sick of being the "weather girl" so she jumps at the opportunity to substitute for the station's lead reporter. When Nick kidnaps her, she feels terrified, and angry. Remarkably, she also believes in his innocence and that he won't hurt her. When Nick offers to release her, Shea refuses to leave. At first her motive to get the story and see her career skyrocket to the top lead to her decision. Soon her heart has its own motives. As tension of the chase builds, and as they partner to prove Nick's innocence, passion ignites. They find passion in the heat of the moment, for the moment may be all they ever share.

HOT ON HIS TRAIL by Linda Winstead Jones presents a double entendre -- not only are the police hot on their trail, but these fiery characters ignite as Shea throws her lot in with an alleged criminal. Desperation leads to an intense plot, and extraordinary motivation. Indeed, nail biting suspense and heated passion never overshadow this reevaluation of priorities, goals and dreams. Very highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars DON'T MISS THIS BOOK!, July 28, 2001

This review is from: Hot On His Trail (Silhouette Intimate Moments, No 1097) (Paperback)

Newsreporter Shea Sinclair is tired of being known as the 'weathergirl' at the local TV station & longs to do serious news. When she is called in as a replacement to report coverage on a famous murder trial she is more than ready for the challenge.

Nick Taggert knows he is innocent & believes justice will be served. However when he is found guilty he becomes a desperate man. He takes Shea hostage & flees in her car, hoping to prove his innocence. Shea quickly sees the real

picture, that Nick has been framed. So she stubbornly refuses to give up until he is proven innocent.

I can hardly find adequate words to praise this book....certainly not for what it deserves. It is fantastic & entralling! A thrilling rush from beginning to end! If ever a hero can capture a woman's heart....it would be Nicholas Taggert! And Shea is very impressive as a heroine herself!
