Synopsis:
Sometimes, being in the wrong place at
the wrong time is where you need to be for the good things in life to fall into
place.
Max Brady is a 25 year old, fresh out
of college, ambitious woman that doesn't take crap from anyone, and often uses
men before tiring and disposing of them. She’s landed her dream job at the
internet search engine company Fiddle. Unfortunately, she is stuck working as
an assistant to the company’s CEO, but she’s hopeful that if she plays nice,
one day she’ll be promoted.
Catch is an assassin. He’s been
working this job for twelve years and now with his family taken care of he is
ready to retire. All he wants to do is complete his last assignment, collect
his large sum of cash, and then disappear to a nice, quiet place in another
country.
When Max makes the huge mistake of
sleeping with her boss, she decides to copy some files from his computer to
hold as leverage in the event that he may try to fire her. Little does she
know, the files hold secrets that can take down her boss and the entire Fiddle
company.
That decision changes the course of
both of their lives.
Catch is hired to kidnap and kill Max,
but instead he chooses to save her life. They go on the run as he tries to
formulate a plan to remove the hit on Max, because he believes that she was
just in the wrong place at the wrong time. As they spend more time together,
Catch’s motivation for saving her life changes with his realization that if
anything happens to Max he may be unable to live without her.
My Review
Max is just trying to make it day by day. She doesn’t let
people get close to her and only has one true friend, but one night at work
changes everything. Now in order to save her job she gets some information off
her boss’s computer, not knowing that he would kill to get that information
back.
Catch is the best assassin out there and he always catches
his guy/girl. He is getting tired of the life and decides to call it quits
after one more hit. He usually asks what the person did, but this time he doesn’t.
He is captivated by max and doesn’t want to get attached to her, but all it
takes is one look and he is hooked.
Now the assassin
becomes the hunted.
This isn’t your typical assassin story. It’s more like the
results of being one. There is some killing but not overly much. Catch gets in
over his head when he saves Max, now he has to use his skills to keep them
alive. He has a hardened exterior, just like Max and we slowly but surely get
to glimpse of the real man underneath. On top of running for their lives, they
are fighting the attraction between them, yet neither will act upon it because
Catch doesn’t think he is good enough for her and Max because she thinks he is
not interested.
Overall: An engaging story
that will have you caught by the end and will leave you not wanting to escape.
Max is a fiery red head. She may be beautiful and sometimes
use that to her advantage. Most people wouldn’t think her a threat, but she can
hold her own. The only one to best her so far is Catch and it excites her. She
hides a tormented past and her past only makes her stronger.
Catch is ALL male. He knows he is hot and strong and he also
uses that to his advantage. People see him and they immediately know he is bad
business and run the other way. He’s never been attracted to another woman like
he is to Max and it excites him but also scares him. He saved her and he be
damned if he let another person put their hands on her.
