Really good story. Fast read. The ending seemed a little abrupt. I would like to have read a bit more. But I am glad that there was no long dragged out angst at the end.

"Fantasy-fulfilling abduction...an exciting rescue by a scorching hot guy...with an unforgettable night of passion. So they go to www.takemetonite.com -- and then they die.

Someone has to stop it.

When Sage Valentine discovers that her roommate's shocking suicide might be related to a website that provides edgy, thrill-seeking entertainment, she immediately books her own "abduction" to get some answers. But her "rescuer" isn't really who she thinks he is....Johnny Christiano is dedicated to the Bullet Catchers, who saved him from a wise guy's life of crime and turned him into an elite bodyguard. When he's assigned to stop Sage's kidnapping, he's unexpectedly trapped between deceit and sizzling desire. But the closer Johnny and Sage get to the truth, the closer danger stalks them...until death is only a double-click away." (From Amazon).

Another sexy and fun read from the Bulletcatchers!

Sage Valentine's roommate was found dead in their apartment, ruled a suicide. Unconvinced, Sage reaches out to her estranged aunt, Lucy Sharpe (owner of Bullet Catchers), to help her investigate. Frustrated when Lucy confirms the cause of death, Sage, an investigative reporter, decides to go it alone. Lucy assigns Johnny Christiano to go undercover and protect her niece.

The thrill seeking aspect of the story tied to the NBA dance team added a sinister element and it was confusing as I tried to figure out the motive of the villains. It was still interesting and I really liked Sage and Johnny as well as their relationship. And, we learned quite a bit more about the enigmatic Lucy Sharpe. Though the plot was a bit convoluted, I enjoyed the story.

Sooo…

I quite liked Sage, she was tenacious and wouldn't let go of a story, Johnny was a bit dim – way too much "ask no questions" for my liking although his cookery skills won him awards.

The story, whilst being wildly different to the previous ones, still appeared to follow the same pattern of having two separate criminals which muddied the waters. AND, yet again, one of the criminals was a close acquaintance – I know I was yelling at my Kindle very early on – "don't trust him!".

The plot, Sage (who is Lucy's niece) is an investigative reporter. Her wealthy flatmate has allegedly committed suicide instead of going on an organised "abduction" offered by a thrill-seekers website. Sage refuses to believe that her flatmate committed suicide and tries to get Lucy's help. Lucy has investigated and is convinced that the website is legitimate and that Sage's flatmate never made it to the arranged abduction – apparently the drop-out rate is quite high! Knowing Sage won't let it drop, Lucy arranges for one of the bullet-catchers (Johnny) to be the knight in shining armour that rescues Sage, but she. Doesn't. Tell. Johnny. Why.

The plot kind of held together although there were way too many coincidences for my liking.
