You can read this book as a standalone, but it would be better to read the series in order. View all 18 comments. The "I love you's" came waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too early.

Dec 15, Saly rated it liked it Shelves: I wasn't sure I would like this book because I wasn't a fan of the hero at first, Jack is rude, crude bounty-hunter but he was perfectly suited to a totally non-traditional MJ.
MJ has grown up in bars since her family runs one, and she too owns one and tends bar there, she is modern and tough as nails so when Jack comes to pick her up on some bounty claims she fights back and then both of them run into someone trying to kill her. Jack doesn't know what went wrong but he was given false information I wasn't sure I would like this book because I wasn't a fan of the hero at first, Jack is rude, crude bounty-hunter but he was perfectly suited to a totally non-traditional MJ.
Jack doesn't know what went wrong but he was given false information and he intends to find out the truth from MJ even if that means hand-cuffing her and trying to intimidate her, at this point I didn't like him, he made a money deal with her after he sees the diamond she has on her. He also doesn't allow her to tell him what to do, both of them are used to following their own way and Jack is a loner and always has been, so it's weird that chemistry these two share and how they end up forming a deep attachment to each other.
Some scenes were really funny like Jack freaking out when MJ cries, his rough words weren't meant to be rough but show love and even when he tries to give her the slip, they are kind of fighting because they love each other and want to protect the other. So, despite being different I liked it, now I am going to read Grace's book and finally try and find out who is after them. Transporta consigo um fabuloso diamante que lhe foi enviado por uma amiga.
Ideal para uma tarde de domingo. Read Hidden Star first. It's slightly better and will give you what to expect from this one in terms of mildly supernatural insta-love and suspense expectations. One of Roberts' strengths is in building characters who just belong together. This alone makes the whole predestined insta-love work. And for all I say this is like the first, the differences in the main characters also make it its own story and enjoyable in their own right. Their relationship has a rockier start, Read Hidden Star first.
Their relationship has a rockier start, for one. Some of that was natural as they start off with opposed goals. But some of it was just awkward awkwardness and the main reason this didn't quite rise to the level of its predecessor. That said, I particularly liked that while Jake got around to recognizing he was completely, hopelessly in love, and was even able to admit it out loud, he still had no idea what to do with that. Which makes sense as he has had no examples of what that means in his own life. So he tries all these amateur things that would normally totally get on my nerves if M.
This made for some great and entertaining back-and-forth. A note about Steamy: There are three explicit sex scenes in this one. Which might have been overwhelming in such a quick read only the third was pretty short and straight-forward. So still the middle of my steam tolerance, though trending on the high side.
Jan 03, Jessica rated it did not like it Shelves: Ok did aliens take over Nora Robert's body while she was writing this trilogy? While I don't love all of her books generally she at least has likable characters and her trademark writing style. This book was completely empty of that style I mean in the first book i wasn't fond of the heroine and could give or take the hero but this hero He starts off with a rant against the justice system that is borderline conspiracy theory Ok did aliens take over Nora Robert's body while she was writing this trilogy?
He starts off with a rant against the justice system that is borderline conspiracy theory and definitely boring. Then he busts into the heroine's apartment like a damn vigilante refusing to listen to reason.
Then he tells her to be grateful he kidnapped her, handcuffed her to his car, and took her across state lines. Then he decides to help her get out of the mess he inserted himself into Pardon my language but what a dick. There was no redeeming him or this series and boy am I thankful this wasnt my first Robert's exposure because I probably would not have given her a second chance after reading this one.
Feb 08, Barb rated it it was amazing Shelves: It should have been a piece of cake. All he had to do was pick up some pretty little bail jumper who wasn't even bothering to hide. But cynical bounty hunter Jack Dakota soon discovered there was nothing easy about spitfire M.
O'Leary--or about this case. Someone had set them both up. Now they were handcuffed together and on the run from a pair of hired killers.
Everything told Jack this alluring vixe It should have been a piece of cake. Everything told Jack this alluring vixen couldn't be trusted. The story moves fast. The characters are all lovable in their own way.
There is humor, love, passion, murder, theft, and murder for hire woven throughout the story. Its Nora Roberts at her best. O'Leary is an easy target for an expert bounty hunter like Jack Dakota. She's not even trying to hide, waltzing around town with apparently no worry on her mind.
Well, she's about to see that skipping a bond should be a worry. Unfortunately for both of them, M. Or maybe they just want the blue diamond, worth a fortune on its own and M. Or maybe they just want the blue diamond, worth a fortune on its own and priceless when it's combined with the other two, in her purse, sent to her by her best friend. A best friend that's suddenly missing, her apartment ransacked, and yet another friend AWOL.
So what's a girl to do when she's saddled with a diamond she doesn't particularly want, but needs to keep safe, and cuffed to a rough-around-the-edges, captivatingly handsome bounty hunter? Well, brace herself and enjoy the ride. This was nothing like Hidden Star , the first book in this trilogy. For one, everything happened even faster than in the previous one going from kicking each other's asses to I-love-yous in about a day , and the main leads were nothing like Bailey and Cade. Did I think the romance was rushed? Depends on how you look at it.
If we go by the timeline a weekend at best , yes, but then, the first book in the trilogy also happened in the same weekend, and could also be deemed unrealistic and rushed. But if we look at it from the point of view of what and how much happened in this short amount of time, everything seemed longer, and there are those heightened sense of imminent danger and high amount of stressful situations to take into account. Yes, as far as the romance happening with the speed it did, there was a huge amount of disbelief to be suspended, but we're talking about fiction here.
And fiction of entertaining sort, so I was happy to suspend anything that needed to be. Because the story worked. It was rushed, it was hectic, it was dangerous more so than the first book , but it was fun, exciting, and hot, and I loved every single sentence of it.
The pacing was spot-on, the plot tight, the characters wonderful and perfect for each other, the mystery kept on being mysterious who is the guy pulling all the strings, I wonder , what needed to be solved was solved, and now I only have one more book to go. And I can hardly wait to read the conclusion to this amazing trilogy. Jan 26, Katrina rated it it was amazing. All he had to do was pick up some pretty little bail-jumper who wasn't even bothering to hide. O'Leary-or about this case.
Everything told Jack this alluring vixen couldn't be trusted Second book of the trilogy. The hero is the bounty hunter tricked by the bad guy into locating the heroine who received a priceless blue diamond from her best friend and inadvertently saving her from being killed. It was like one of those Hollywood movies with a hand-cuffed mouthy female lead and a tough guy in a junkyard car going cross-country evading the bad guys whilst looking for answers. Nothing very original but still a light, easy read. Not a good start for M. O'Leary when she is taken by bounty hunter Jack - but they soon realise that he has been used to find her for someone else.
It takes a bit of time for them to start trusting each other, especially when M. Is wondering why her friend Bailey has sent her a big diamond and to,d her to keep it with her all the time. A few run ins and sparks flying lead to a good, fast moving story. Oct 27, Mary rated it it was amazing Shelves: I accidentally read the 3rd book first, just didn't look. No matter how you read them you get the full story.
However I recommend reading in order. I love that there is some Irish in this one. The magic continues with the tale of Gods and Stones. As always I thoroughly enjoy reading Nora Roberts. Feb 23, Susan Ecker rated it it was amazing. I enjoy Nora Roberts, no matter what she writes!
Can't help but love Nora Roberts!
She definitely didn't disappoint in this one.
