Woman On the Run By Lisa Marie Rice What's a girl to do?

Sophisticated urbanite Julia Devaux loves her life. What's not to love? A fabulous job in publishing, wonderful friends, gorgeous apartment, the company of her beautiful though temperamental Siamese cat, Federico Fellini—she's got it made. And then Julia has the bad taste to witness a Mob murder and her life goes straight down the toilet. Under the Witness Security program, Julia is relocated to the boondocks, a hundred miles from the nearest bookstore and Estee Lauder outlet, where the only fast food is deer and the only entertainment is sex with a laconic local rancher. Luckily, talking isn't what Sam Cooper does best...

Former SEAL Sam Cooper can't believe his luck when mystery woman Sally Anderson hits town. Simpson, Idaho, can't even offer a decent cup of coffee let alone gorgeous new grade school teachers. The instant Cooper sees Sally, he stakes her out as his own. Granted, he's not much good at talking, but he does his best to keep her happy. When he discovers her life is in danger, he'll stop at nothing to keep her safe and with him. He's not alone. The whole town of Simpson wants to keep her.

Publisher's Note: This is a rewritten and expanded version of a story previously published elsewhere under the title Pursued.

I've read all of LMR's books and I love this the most! Cooper and Julia have become my most loved hero and heroine of LMR's. What and entertaining book! I enjoyed reading this book for all kinds of reasons.

Julia/Sally is such a fun and real character. She's smart, creative, well traveled, has refined tastes in food and culture, and is independent. She has a wry sense of humor about her predicament (city girl forced by circumstance to live in small town USA), and doesn't wallow in her misfortune, but slowly makes the best of it, integrating into the town. Julia is silently freaking out though. She's having nightmares and is in constant fear of her life due to a hit being put out on her for what she's seen. So, she readily accepts Cooper's presence in her life and is shocked that even though he is not her usual type and he doesn't say much, she is really turned on by him.

Cooper, a local rancher, falls hard for Julia. Cooper is the strong silent type. Flawed like most LMR's heroes, he finds it difficult to express himself through words and stays very reticent on the surface. He's bruised emotionally as well. His wife has left him due to his inability to communicate and that hurt him. When he interacts with Julia he's at a constant loss for what to say and fears that she's not really into him. However, he's definitely an alpha male (former SEAL) and still very much a steely warrior, and his need to connect with Julia is so intense that he manages with pure, raw, intense physical energy to let her know how he feels. Um...wow! I totally love the whole cool on the surface, raging heat underneath, thing.

Ever present in the background is the antagonist who is out to kill Julia for the hit money. I quite liked this character too as this person is extremely intelligent, sophisticated, disciplined and coolly and logically goes about finding Julia. Call me sick, but I love the way this person's mind works. Except for the whole being a sociopath part, of course : ). I love that this killer is not your run of the mill whacko, but someone who has a brilliant mind and cultured tastes. A thinking person's whacko!

As per usual in LMR's books, the sex is smokin! However, unlike the Midnight series (all Excellent), Dangerous Lover (more Excellent) and Port of Paradise (good), the plot is way more developed. And contrary to what one might think given the fact that Cooper is practically a mute, there is much more communication between the characters and relationship development in this book than in her others, which I liked.

And I have to add...Lisa Marie Rice has the funniest sense of humor, which comes out in this book. Normally her books are very intense and passionate as is this one as well, but I kept laughing through out the book at Julia's quips and personal musings as a city girl stuck in small town USA. There were so many funny lines. The reference to a certain Arlo Guthrie film that the other characters didn't get made me giggle. And, Shaniko? This stuck out in my mind for some reason. I've been through there a few times and found it funny/odd that Cooper would bring up this tiny obscure town of all the towns that Julia should know near Bend, even though there was a point to that mention. Maybe I enjoy that her books mostly take place in the Pacific NW, which I've explored extensively and love.

All of these extra little details really added to the total enjoyment of reading this book. All around this was an excellent read!

All I can say is that I feel so satisfied after reading LMR's books that when I finish one of her books, I always feel that I should lie back and smoke a ciggy or something. ; )

Would that Lisa Marie Rice would have the time to be a more prolific author. *sigh*

4.0 out of 5 stars 3.5 stars. Good erotic romantic suspense. Enjoyable and fun escape, but a few weak plot devices.

STORY BRIEF:
Julia was a city-loving book editor who witnessed a mob murder. Under the Witness Security program she is relocated to a small town in Idaho, working as a 2nd grade teacher. The murderer put out a million dollar contract on her life. Hit men are plotting and searching for her. She meets Sam who breeds horses and is a former SEAL. Julia and Sam are immediately drawn to each other and begin a relationship. Instead of embarrassing her about her sleeping with Sam, the local people tell her they are glad to see that Sam is finally getting laid. Julia helps improve others' lives, for example: she takes in a stray dog, she helps a troubled student, and she effects changes in a run down local diner.

REVIEWER'S OPINION:
This is similar to the author's other books with the sweet, soft heroine and the strong, silent man who's so turned on by her that "he needs to be hosed down." He's so turned on he keeps forgetting about foreplay. Don't expect wild or kinky, it's missionary position throughout the book. It's an enjoyable and fun escape. I wanted to give this 4 stars, but I took it down to 3.5 stars due to the heroine doing some dumb things for the sake of the plot - and also due to some dumb assumptions and actions on Sam's part. (See Spoilers below.) Even though I didn't like these plot devices, I still enjoyed reading the book. She's a good story teller. The characters and conversations were good. I chuckled a few times. I enjoy her style of writing which includes over-the-top exaggerations, for example on page 182: "If they had a flat tire, he could probably hold the vehicle up with a rope held between his teeth and change the tire while fending off marauders. He was, after all, a trained soldier."

CAUTION SPOILERS (things I didn't like):
Hit men are coming after Julia. Sam has her staying with two armed men. He and another man go to Julia's house to set a trap to catch the bad guys. Julia hears an explosion. She immediately runs away from the men she's with, runs down the street alone to find Sam to see if he is ok. He is the one who set the explosion. She is now at risk of another bad guy grabbing her while she's on the street alone.

I also did not like the inaccurate assumption used to cause separation and danger. As soon as the first bad guys are caught Julia says "I can finally go home." She said this while emotionally stressed. She didn't mean it. But Sam assumed she didn't want to be with him anymore, so he left her. He made another stupid assumption that there were no more hit men gunning for Julia. His leaving made it easy for the next bad guy to get to her. After Sam leaves, Julia does another stupid thing which is opening the door without looking to see who's there - a bad guy.

DATA:
Story length: 334 pages. Swearing language: strong. Sexual language: strong/erotic. Number of sex scenes: 8. Total number of sex scene pages: 32. Setting: current day Boston, Mass. and two small towns in Idaho. Copyright: 2004. Genre: erotic romantic suspense.

5.0 out of 5 stars IF YOU LIKE RICE'S OTHER BOOKS, YOU'LL LOVE THIS ONE!
Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2005

I've read all of Lisa Marie Rice's books, and this is one of my favorite. Like "Midnight Run" and "Midnight Man," "Woman on the Run" has an Alpha hero, a former very taciturn SEAL. After witnessing a mob murder, Julia is whisked away by the FBI protective services where she poses as a second grade teacher. Naturally, she meets Sam with whom she has instant attraction, although she cannot read him because he says little and has an impassive face.

Unlike the two "Midnight" books, this one has more of a plot with some minor secondary characters and fewer sexual scenes. The other two books had one sex scene after another, but this is more of a conventional romance. I did not anticipate the twist at the end, and I suspect you won't either. In summary, it is a very satisfying romance.

Julia Devaux is a woman on the run. After witnessing a mob hit Julia finds herself in the witness protection program playing the part of "Sally Anderson" second grade teacher in Simpson Idaho. Julia DOESN'T want to be there, but with a million price tag on her head, she doesn't have much choice either. Then Julia meet Sam "Coop" Cooper an ex-seal turned horse breeder Julia and Coop get close and when he learns the truth he will stop at nothing to protect the woman he has come to love.
"Woman on the Run" was the first book that I read from Lisa Marie Rice and won't be my last! Ms. Rice give great characters, great storyline which are more about the sex scenes and there a few of them. I will be reading Ms Rice in the future.

Julia Devaux is a sophisticated urbanite with a fabulous job in publishing, until she witnesses a mob murder. She endures drastic changes in her life as she's quickly shuffled into the witness protection program. Julia's name is changed to Sally Anderson, her glorious red hair dyed to an insipid brown and she's sent to some podunk town to work as a grade school teacher.

Sally meets sexy Sam Cooper, rancher, and former Navy Seal who has given up on finding a good woman. Sally doesn't know what to make of Sam, he doesn't talk much, but his word is bond and his strength of character is everything a woman would want in a man.

An assassin hacks into the witness protection system, and Sally's handler wants to relocate her for her protection; however, Sam refuses to let her go. The town stands behind Sam upon hearing about Sally's predicament and vows to protect her as well.

The only thing I didn't like about Sally was her unwillingness to come to terms that her life was in danger, which of course put everyone else in danger. I give five stars for Sam and three stars for Sally for an average of four stars.

This a great story on how one person with a lot to offer can change the attitudes of small town folk for the better.
