Book Review: In Her Sights by Katie Ruggle

To use one of my grandmother’s expressions, “Katie Ruggle can tell a good yarn.” I thought I understood what she meant, but I did not fully grasp it until I read “In Her Sights” wherein the premise according to the blurb is… “Five bounty-hunting sisters. Deep in the heart of the Rockies. Fighting to save each other …and the men who steal their hearts.”

When I read that, my first reaction was “huh? Is that possible? The heroines are bounty hunters.” My knowledge of bounty hunters is based on Clint Eastwood’s westerns and recently, just the media coverage of the reality show, “Dog, the Bounty Hunter.”

So, I was having doubts even before I started reading. Don’t get me wrong, I love reading Katie Ruggle. In fact, she is one of my favorite romantic suspense authors. But, bounty hunters? Where is the romance in that?

Well, I should have not doubted Katie. (Please accept my apologies Katie. I was so wrong!!!) I should have not doubted this Police Academy grad. She knows her craft and once again, she delivered. “In Her Sights” turned out to be a slow burn romance with high octane chases.

Watch out Jason Bourne! Romantic suspense might be your downfall!

That’s actually how I felt about this book. Molly Pax and John Carmondy seem to be in the middle of explosions all the time, if you as a reader did not know any better, they will be prime suspects for all the bombings. I even began to put Matt Damon’s face on John Carmondy!

Matt Damon aside, “In Her Sights” is a great read. It’s hard to put down once you started. So, if you’re a bedtime reader like me, make sure you have at least an hour before your actual sleep time because you will want to read as many pages as possible before turning in.

In Her Sights” is Rated M for Mature due to violence.

Summary:

Five bounty-hunting sisters
Deep in the heart of the Rockies
Fighting to save each other
…and the men who steal their hearts

Bounty hunter Molly Pax fought hard for everything she has, turning the bail recovery business she shares with her sisters into an unqualified success. So when their sticky-fingered mother jumps bail and puts the childhood home up as collateral, Molly’s horrified. To make matters worse, every two-bit criminal in the Rockies now sees her family’s misfortune as their next big break.

She needs help, stat.

Enter rival bounty hunter John Carmondy: six feet of pure trouble, with a cocky grin to match. John’s the most cheerfully, annoyingly gorgeous frenemy Molly’s ever had the pleasure of defeating…and he may be her only hope of making it out of this mess alive.
