Connie’s review of Silent Run by Barbara Freethy
Romantic Suspense released by Onyx 4 Mar 08
This is the second novel I have read by Barbara Freethy and despite the slow, very slow start and amnesia plot I was very happy to have Silent Fall to start when I closed this book. Sarah Tucker doesn’t know who she is, that she had a baby or why in the world she would have left a perfect man like Jake Sanders.
And really Sarah doesn’t want to know more about this person she seems to be because the more we learn about her the more rotten she seems to have been. Her life was nothing more but lies, smoke and mirrors. And Jake… not so much. Even though he isn’t a nice guy when we met him. He has been running after Sarah for a while and he doesn’t her back, he wants his child. The baby she can’t remember, the child that is lost and could be dead for all they both know.
I really want to tell you more about Silent Run but I can’t – see “amnesia plot”. If you can make it past the really slow start and get out of the hospital and see the Sarah and Jake together searching for their daughter. You will grow to like them because you will learn they didn’t really know each other before and I am afraid I can’t say more but must be silent.
Grade: B
RUNNING SCARED
A woman wakes in a hospital bed with no idea of who she is. Her memory is gone, her baby missing. All she has is the gripping certainty that she is in mortal danger. Then a handsome, angry stranger barges in and makes a terrible accusation. He was her lover–and her child’s father–until she disappeared seven months ago.
RUNNING BLIND
Jake Sanders swore he’d never forgive Sarah Tucker, but he isn’t about to let her get away again–especially not with his daughter still missing. If he has any chance of recovering his baby, he must help the woman who betrayed him retrieve the pieces of her shattered memory–without letting his feelings get in the way.
RUNNING FOR THEIR LIVES
Haunted by troubling flashes of memory, Sarah begins to realize she’s lived a life of lies. Now, a relentless killer is closing in on her, determined to make her pay for the sins of her past. Sarah and Jake must put their trust in each other to defeat an enemy who is hot on their heels and closing in fast.
