TAKE ME TONIGHT is part of the Bullet Catchers series.  It features Lucy’s niece Sage, whose roommate is killed, throwing Sage into an investigation of her death that may result in her own.  

Keisha died after experiencing a fake kidnapping through a company who supplied thrills.  But Keisha’s kidnapping apparently never happened, leaving Sage to find out just what did happen.  Lucy knows her niece, and she knows that this case is trouble, so she assigns Bullet Catcher Johnny Christiano to keep an eye on Sage without her knowledge.  When they acknowledge their attraction to each other, Johnny realizes his dilemma –Sage doesn’t know who he really is, and to tell her causes some huge problems.  So their relationship is based on lies, but he can’t help how he feels.  

As they get closer to the truth about Keisha’s death, Sage is in terrible danger, and this time it’s going to be a stretch for even a Bullet Catcher to save the day. 

TAKE ME TONIGHT is a gripping suspense.  Sage and Johnny are intense, strong-willed people whose chemistry will keep you reading.  You needn’t have read other Bullet Catcher stories to follow this one, although it probably would help with the history of the company. 

But, the idea of the fake kidnappings and the women blindly going along with them was uncomfortable to say the least, and I must say it dulled the excitement of the story.  That said, the writing was aggressive, fast-paced and clever and I suspect the shadow I feel over the book was simply the subject matter.
