The Danger Has Only Begun
Having survived a brutal childhood, Sabrina Fox believed she could handle anything. That was before she watched the love of her life die before her very eyes. Brokenhearted, her emotions on lockdown, she finds purpose and hope as an LCR Elite Operative rescuing victims from some of the most volatile places in the world.
Covert ops agent Declan Steele is used to a life … is used to a life of danger and deceit, but when the one person he trusted and believed in above all others sets him up, he’ll stop at nothing to make her pay. Finally rescued from his hellish prison, Declan has one priority — hunt down Sabrina Fox and exact his revenge.
Trusting no one is a lonely, perilous path. Sabrina swears she’s innocent and Declan must make a decision — trust his heart or his head. As memories of their life together returns, he realizes just how treacherous his torture had been and the target of his revenge shifts. But when Sabrina is taken, retribution is the last thing on his mind. With the assistance of Last Chance Rescue Elite, Declan races to rescue the only woman he has ever loved before it’s too late.

I love love love this book. The first thought that rushed into my mind while reading this was, why the hell did I put off reading this book for so long?
I have always enjoyed a good romantic suspense that keeps me on my toes. This is so damn good. The prologue hooked me right away, (I never skip prologue because to me they always hold something that makes sense later into a story). I knew something bad is going to happen and when it did, I was really holding my breath to read how this was going to play out.
Declan Steele and Sabrina Fox are undercover agents for a secret government agency. The couple’s marriage is a secret known only to a few. On their last night together, Declan tells her that he plan’s to leave the agency and start new. But after two months, Sabrina witness her husband blown to bits and pieces on her way to meet him.
Sabrina continues on her missions with a bleeding heart, throwing herself into work as it was the only thing that keeps her growing. But after a successful mission, she’s taken. She’s locked and bound in a dusty cell. Her captor’s voice oddly feels familiar and it’s even shocker to see it was her dead husband.
The rest of the book answers what really happened to Declan and why he’s back with a vengeance to kill his once beloved wife. I enjoyed the roller coaster ride and many parts of it made me so emotional. I was literally scratching my head to figure, who the real villain is and 50% figured it out toward the end. But it was still a surprise.
Christy Reece is my new favorite author and I’m definitely devouring her other books in the series. The writing style blew my mind away and a few times I stopped to re-read a sentence because it was so good. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a good action packed romance.
Spoiler Alert: The book has a happy ending.Christy Reece
Declan and Sabrina both work for government agencies trying to make the world a better place to live. Attempting to find a mole in the agency becomes a real problem. Search and rescue is part of their daily lives and each is captured at one point. This action packed story will keep you on the edge of your seat. See if you can discover the bad guy.
Suspense, romance, and a HEA! This book has it all. You have to read this book…she will become a favorite author for you. I know she is one of mine!
Loved the tragedy in this story. How the characters came together, were torn apart and made it back to one another through struggle. I liked how the author made them fight back to each other, made them earn it!
I couldn’t put it down!
Running In Empty had great characters and a twisted, ever changing story line. Loved the entire read. But, I would have enjoyed a little more for the ending. You read all the twists and turns that take forever to play out and then an ending of only a few pages. Still loved the story.
Good story line.
Intriguing, suspensful and romantic. I wanted to laugh, cry and punch the characters which makes for an excellent reading experience. I will look for more books by this author.
A good read. Full of action and suspense. Sabrina and Declan are both elite agents with different agencies. Both fight for good but someone has their own agenda. Who is behind the betrayal? Read on to find out.
Was hard to put this book down. Got a little brutal in some places but bad guys aren’t nice. It had me stumped trying to figure out who the bad guy was. Really enjoyed this page turner.
Interesting twists to the plot, strong characters and believable complications.
Just remember it was a good book.
Great series, read them all!
OMG!!! What a page turner! Once you start reading this book, you will NOT be able to stop until you finish it.
I want to read rest of series
Kept me guessing, page after steamy page!
It was an awesome book to read. I could not put it down before it was finished. Would love to read the whole set of books. Thank you very much
Declan and Sabrina are both covert operatives for separate companies and they are also married. Declan dies in a bombing. Sabrina is then later kidnapped by her husband who isn’t dead after all. He has been held captive and is convinced that his wife instigated it. Can she convince him she is not guilty and help him find out who is to blame? This book keeps you guessing! I couldn’t put it down!
Suspenseful
If you want a book with a lot of suspense, intrigue, strong female characters and strong men then this is the book to tread.
Fabulous start to the series.. I still remember how I felt when I read Rescue Me – the first in the Last Chance series – and this was just as powerful. One of the biggest things I love is that Noah is running the new group. Cannot get enough of that man : )
There were plenty of new and old characters in Running On Empty. We meet Sabrina Fox and Declan Steele after they are married. Declan works for another covert group that Sabrina used to work for and Sabrina now works for LCR Elite. They had tons of history and what looked like a very strong bond/love for one another that nothing could tear apart. Well fate had something else in store for the two when Declan is presumed dead after an explosion.
I love the women that Ms Reece writes – they may not always come from a good background/childhood but they grow into strong kick-ass women. Sabrina stayed strong through it all even after her husband came back with wanting nothing but revenge against her for thinking she was a traitor and had him tortured for months. Poor Declan (I love his name BTW) mind was messed with so much during his torture/interrogations that even though he didn’t break his mind did end up believing the lies they told him. It was painful to watch Sabrina and Delcan together when he first returned because you knew of the love they had before it was ripped from them.
Even though these books are fiction, the emotions, partnerships and situations always feel so real. Its like an adventure reading one of Ms Reece’s books. I am so happy she started this new series and look forward to many books to come in the series.
