Held Against You
by Season Vining
Expected publication: January 13th 2015 by St.
Martin's Press
A gorgeous bounty hunter. A wanted woman. A passion they can’t deny.
Accused
of a horrible crime and on the run, Kat has been rejected by everyone she
loves. She’s a fugitive from her past, flitting from town to town with nothing
but the clothes on her back. Until she meets a man who literally stops her in
her tracks.
This
notorious bounty hunter, with his stunning good looks and powerful instincts,
never fails to capture his prey. But there’s something about his newest mark
that gets under his skin–and it’s not just the naked innocence he sees in her
eyes. Behind his ice cold demeanor, he has his own secrets... and now his
lively, vulnerable captive is about to crack him wide open.
As
they drive across the country together, neither of them can deny the spark of
attraction between them. Will their journey force these two passionate opposites
together…or will their dangerous secrets be too much to bear?

In
Held Against Me by Season Vining, the
action starts out on the first page and does not let up until the very
end! We meet Katherine, who is on the
run for a serious crime that could land her in jail for life – or worse – death
row. She will stop at nothing and do
everything in her power to escape the authorities and try to get to
Canada. As the story progresses, the
reader learns that she is not the cold-hearted killer the authorities believe
she is – in fact, the reason behind the murder is very understandable - far
from acceptable, but very understandable.
I loved Katherine’s character with her witty remarks and her 80’s music
and movie trivia. She is definitely a
force to be reckoned with!
And
then there is the man who shall be unnamed until halfway through the
story. Kat nicknames him ‘Steel’ which
is very appropriate. He’s a sexy as sin Bounty Hunter wanting the
huge payout for bringing Katherine in.
He will stop at nothing to find her – and he will find her – for he is
the best at what he does. When he does
finally catch up with her, he finds more than he ever bargained for. He is tough as nails and cold as steel, but
along the way, we find out that he and Kat aren’t that much different.
“We’re all fucked up. Some of us are just better at pretending.”
Add
in a tough biker/bounty hunter who is hot on their trail, a bitter ex-girlfriend,
a money embezzlement scheme, some super-hot sex and you have the perfect ingredients
for an enthralling story that will keep you on the edge of your seat guessing
the entire time!
From
the very first chapter I was hooked on this awesome story! It’s intense, action-packed
and full of so many twists and turns it kept me up reading until the wee hours
of the morning wanting to know how the story ended. Not only was it sexy and fun, it was full of
mystery and intrigue. The writing flowed
effortlessly and the characters are fun and exciting. I
loved every single second of this book and I would highly recommend to anyone
who loves an action-packed, engrossing romance with characters you want to end
up with the happily-ever-after we all crave and desire!
“Apart, we were lost and tumbling through
life. We were only surviving, getting
by. Together we’re a mess – a beautiful,
promising mess.”
