Flight paramedic Raina Price has been running so long it’s hard to stop. To escape a dangerous stalker, she changed her name and disappeared, building a new life with the help of a friend from her time in juvie. It feels good to put her energies into saving people’s lives, but because her stalker was never found, she’s never stopped looking over her shoulder. And one can only run so far before the past finally catches up.

US Marshal Vincent Corelli’s job is to hunt down fugitives and protect those who are assigned to him. When Raina is almost killed right in front of him, he vows to protect her at all costs–whether it’s his job or not. Together they work to solve the mystery of Raina’s past. But someone is out to make sure Raina doesn’t live long enough to do it.

Okay, one of these days I’ll remember to see if a book is in a series before picking it up, but that’s not what happened with Countdown–somehow I missed that it’s book #4 in a series.

The good news is that I wasn’t THAT lost in the story. I was a little confused as to how/why Vince and Raina knew each other so well from the get-go, but I was still able to follow the story (though it did make me want to read the earlier books).

Countdown jumps right in with intrigue, but not so much action that it was distracting. I had enough time to figure out who Vince and Raina were before everything went crazy for them. I could have handled a little less “Let me help,” “No, I can’t,” but overall the story pulled me in and kept me reading to the end. It’s also made me curious about the other characters, so I may need to check out the earlier books.

If you like Sarah Hamaker romantic suspense, I think you’ll like this book.
