Daredevil Run The Taken Kathleen Creighton 9780373275939 Books

This is, to date, the best romance genre novel that I have read.

The action was believable, but exciting. It was paced well and the entire book took place over just a few days. I loved the way the author described each moment and movement of the characters. It drew me right into the story. There was a subtle suspense plot running under the surface and it provided just enough extra tension to really enhance the love story.

It is the story of former partners and lovers who have not seen each other for five years, not since Matt was paralyzed in a freak climbing accident. Alex (the girl, most of the girls in this book have boy names) tried to stick by him at the time, but he wasn't able to deal. His brother convinces him to go back and try to make up for it, but someone else has another agenda.

Impressively, this is the most believable portrayal of paraplegia I have ever seen in a romance novel. I found Matt very real and thought the descriptions of how he moved were accurate and well written. I also completely bought it when he performed some amazing, daring rescues!

My complaints are minor. This, as seems to be a tradition with romance novels, is part of a series of related stories. It's clear there was a previous book about Matt's brother Cory and his wife. I haven't read that one and it was not necessary to enjoy this book, but there were a lot of references to things that must have happened in the other.

Two minor points about the SCI. It was strange to me that Matt was driving a van with a wheelchair lift. I've never known a t-10 para to waste time with a slow lift, not to mention the expense, all the guys I know drive a regular car. Second, there's a line: "flexed his hands in the leather gloves all people in wheelchairs wore to protect..." I don't know of a single thing that ALL people in wheelchairs do. Certainly not gloves. Some do and some don't wear them.

I liked that Matt was appealing man and not a jerk, the romantic tension came from other places. I appreciated that discussions of paraplegia and love-making were not glossed over with an "he's low level, so everything is fine."

Highly recommended.

Daredevil Run The Taken Kathleen Creighton 9780373275939 Books Reviews

The beginning of the book is a bit slow and I almost stopped reading, but as I went on I really liked the characters and was rooting for them at the end. Business partner/killer ending was a surprise but worked in the story well. Good read.
This is an interesting romantic adventure story that has a few unexpected events. I especially related to it as our own area was the backdrop for the story, Kathleen used all the local color to flavor your appetite for the next paragraph and to see what develops next. Very well done.
This is a beautiful story that captured my curiosity early. The scenery descriptions took me back to the Kern River, where I haven't visited in years. The story made me a bit homesick for the beautiful Kern River Valley. I thoroughly enjoyed living the adventure through this text. The characters' internal conflicts are evident without redundant explanations. Unlike other romantic suspense authors, Ms. Creighton develops each character with a unique set of assets and flaws. There is nothing cookie cutter about her heroines or heroes. I will definitely finish the Taken series!
