When Giselle Reddington wakes up in a mental institution with no memory of who she is or why she is there, she begins to plan her escape. Raphael Sanchez is one of Last Chance Rescue's elite operatives. After Giselle left him years before, he focused on his career at Last Chance Rescue. He sees Giselle for the first time in years, when disguised as a boy, she comes to the hospital room of Noah McCall whose wife and children have been kidnapped for the purpose of getting Giselle out in the open in. Raphael's anger is only superseded by his desire to help his mentor get his family back, and Giselle says she can help.
These two characters were featured as teenagers in Sweet Revenge, Last Chance Rescue #8. As an action/romance, this book lives up to expectation. As the title suggests, there is plenty of running and hiding in this book. Many of the characters from previous LCR and LCR Elite novels play parts in this story. The main characters are likable, but some of their actions are difficult to understand or condone. Simple communication would have solved most of their problems. Overall, however, this is another good addition to the LCR Elite Series. ( )

"I can't resist you, Giselle. No matter how hard I've tried, I never forgot you. Never stopped wanting you."

Warning: Prepare for the feels!! Oh, my poor heart!! It was breaking, it was laughing, it was crying both sad and happy tears!

Raphael Sanchez had one dream - to to be an agent for LCR. It's all he's ever wanted since the elite group saved him. Having Giselle by his side would have made everything complete. Until she up and left with nothing but a venom-filled note. That was seven years ago and his heart had never recovered. In a cruel twist of fate, the two have been thrown together to take down a poisonous web of evil, the connections more far reaching than anyone can imagine. Secrets and deception are around every corner, around every turn. The failure of this mission could mean more than losing the woman he loves for a second time. It could very well mean he loses everything.

Giselle Reddington had no choice. She had to make him hate her and she's regretted it ever since. After seven years, and living a life that didn't include Raphael, she needs him. She's in trouble, and targeted for death. But, will he help her? Can he forgive her for what she did to him and give her a chance to explain? As they work together on this mission, one secret could mean the difference between a second chance with the man she's always loved, and losing him all over again.

This was a great addition to this series - probably my favorite one! And who would have known what you have for breakfast could change your life - or save it? If you haven't read this series, I highly suggest you get to it!! Why are you still reading this? GO!! ( )

Christy Reece has managed to give her readers another terrific romantic suspense story. While part of the LCR Elite series, this book can be read as a stand alone. The supporting characters are the same from story to story but each book follows one couple & their journey to happiness.

Raphael & Giselle fell in love when they were younger & were tragically torn apart. Giselle loved him too much to let him forgo his dreams as she entered WITSEC & the nomadic lifestyle that goes with it.

Fast forward several years & Raphael has the life of his dreams but can’t enjoy it without Giselle. Giselle finds herself in danger & turns to Raphael & LCR for help. While bringing down the crime family threatening Giselle, the chemistry & attraction grows between Giselle & Raphael while they remember what drew them together in the past. Will Raphael forgive her for the way she left him? What will he do when he finds out the secret she’s withheld from him for all these years?

I enjoy these stories & the mix of romance & suspense. They are gritty stories about the Alpha men & strong women that protect others when they can’t look out for themselves. I love the way they have become a family & have each other’s back. The strong connections & interactions between them adds emotion & drama to the story. This is a story that grabbed my attention from the first page & didn’t let up until the last page was finished. ( )
