Fantastic!

This story was great. I loved Angel and Colton and their journey. There was true emotion and twists with intrigue. Some areas were slow and felt unnecessary but I still recommend it.

I voluntarily read an advanced copy.

This is the second book in a series of standalones. I haven't read book 1, but I didn't feel I was missing anything vital. This was a fun, suspenseful story, but I had a hard time emotionally connecting with the heroine. 3.5 Stars.

US Marshal Angel Larson is being set up. She wakes up covered in blood, lying next to her dead protectee, and she knows she's in big trouble. Whoever broke in and killed her charge also drugged her, set her up for his murder, and stole the very important proprietary equipment she was helping him protect. She has a plan to get out of almost any scenario, but her identity and safe houses have been compromised too, and that leaves only one option. The man she walked out on a year ago, after he asked her to stay with him in WITSEC.

Former DEA agent Colton Williamson misses his old life. He misses his city. He misses his family, desperately. But what he misses most is his former handler, and lover, Angel Larson. When he woke up a year ago to her gone, he wasn't sure how to get over it, or her. And his new quiet life in WITSEC as a math teacher in a small town is slowly strangling what's left of the fight out of him. Until they have enough evidence to charge the crime boss who he was investigating undercover, before that cover was blown, he won't ever see his family again. Or anyone else who knows the real him, except his sweetheart of a guard dog, Pudge. When Angel shows back up on his porch late one night. He's elated. He's worried for his heart, but he also needs to help her.

Angel and Colton's chemistry was strong right off the bat, but they were both ignoring it/fighting it from the beginning. They both had their reasons for that, but it was frustrating to watch them push/pull at each other constantly. I just wanted them to give it up and come together, but the author took me on quite the slow burn. I did enjoy the way the characters opened up to each other, especially in the ways it was clear they hadn't done with others. But, Angel frustrated me to no end with her constant waffling on her feelings, and her inability to express them. Also, I could have done with a little more description during the sexy times, but that's just a personal preference.

I loved the hero's German Shepard, Pudge. He was a doll, and was definitely his own character in the story. But, I had a hard time connecting to Angel, and to her with Colton. He cared so much for her, and she just wasn't putting out the same level of care in my eyes. Her past was a horrible nightmare, and I can't imagine living through it, but you have to deal with your demons eventually if you ever want any semblance of a normal life. She finally started to realize that, but at what cost to the people who love her?

The suspense plot was exciting, and kept me guessing as to who did what, and why. I enjoyed that part of the story a lot. The kid from Colton's class was highly entertaining too, and I enjoyed seeing the impact he was clearly having on the boy's life. I was happy with the ending, but to be honest, I felt a much bigger grovel was needed from Angel. Colton deserved it after everything she put him through. But I did love his big heart and forgiving nature, regardless of what occurred. It really showed the kind of man he was, and I enjoyed him immensely.

Overall, I'd be willing to read this author again, as I did enjoy many aspects of the story. I just hope I would connect better and more easily with her heroine next time.

This read was a page turner for me and I really enjoyed the read. Colton was an awesome character and he was so great for Angel. The mystery of who set up Angel was interesting and the villain was unexpected. I have to say that I didn't like Angel's character as much. While I understood relationships were hard for her, I just felt bad for how she treated Colton in the past and how insecure in the relationship her actions made him feel. I thought Colton was a trooper and his actions endured me to him. I enjoyed this read and would recommend it.

I received a copy of WANTED FOR LIFE on Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to the publisher and author.

Five stars and here's why:

WANTED FOR LIFE rocks. Allison B. Hanson delivers an entertaining suspense with a splash of romance. Seriously fantastic story. I’m a sucker for a second chance romance.

I love the premise. Angel Larson is a U.S. Marshall and her career implodes when the guy she’s protecting winds up dead and she’s the major suspect. She flees back home for safety and her former love, DEA Colton Williamson, helps her. When these lovers reconnect, sparks fly, the plot thickens, and I’m left fanning myself.

If you love hella-hot guys, savvy girls, and a suspenseful plot filled with sexy romance, then this book is for you! Highly recommend!

Allison B. Hanson is a new-to-me author and I can say that I'm impressed with her.

Crime suspense books is one of my favorite genre added with a substantial amount of romance, Wanted For Life certainly will be on my top reads this year.

When Deputy Marshall Angel Larson was set up and accused of murder of her latest charge, she only had limited option and that involves a past she ran away from from before.

Former DEA Colton Williamson was surprised to find Larson after disappearing on him when she pulled herself out of charge of him.

A woman wanted for murder and a man willing to protect her at all cost, romantic susprnse fans and readers will lap up this adrenaline-fueled, nail-biter superb conspiracy book.

Fast-paced and page-turner, this is imposibble to put down.

Highly recommended!


*I voluntary read an advance review copy of this book. All thoughts and opinion are my own.

Angel, a Deputy Marshall, wakes up next to the dead body of the man she was supposed to protect and realizes that she is being set up. No one can be trusted so she has to use all her skills to remain off the grid. Colton is a former lover Angel was once assigned to protect who is now in WITSEC. When Angel and Colton reconnect sparks fly. Someone wants Angel dead and Colton isn't going to let that happen. Lots of suspense and romance!

What a fantastic read this is. I like a good suspense with a splash of romance and this book overflowed with both.
Angel is a US Marshall working for a special task force. While protecting her latest charge she wakes up half drugged finding herself in bed with the man she was assigned to protect dead and herself framed as the guilty offender. The woman is brilliant, her job rests on getting herself and her assignment out alive, she needs to make a run for safety and there's only one place she can go where she feels safe, but does she dare? And what will he say?
Colton is now a schoolteacher in the WITSEC program after his undercover assignment is blown for some reason, the criminal escapes and so while Colton is indeed fighting for his life, he dies and is relocated. His large family prevents them from relocating everyone, it's easier to relocate Colt. He comes form a family of police officers father included.
So while Colton, now known as Duncan the math teacher is bored witless in Oregon, he does like teaching and his days go by, he's got his dog. A now year old German Shepherd that he and Angel picked out. He and Angel got involved while she was assigned to protect him before his relocation.
He begged her to go with him, one morning he got up and she was gone. No word, no explanation.
Angel has one hell of a history, which really gives the book some twists.
Showing up on Colt's doorstep might not have been the best thing she's ever done, but she needs to feel safe and he's always done that for her. Colt's doesn't know what's happening until just before she shows up and her face is plastered all over the news. She's a wanted woman. She opts not to make contact with her boss for a week and she needs time to figure out what happened and how.
The author really gave us a great story here, between the relationship past and present of Angel and Colton, the total suspense of who did what, who is what and honestly I didn't trust anyone. Halfway through the book I was grasping at straws. The flow of the book was great, the characters were perfect and the plot was great. I loved the end, because as it should be you don't know what's going to happen right down to the wire. Yes, my review is purposely vague. Read this book!!
This was a 5 star plus for me.

**advanced copy from NetGalley and Entangled for an honest review. My review contains my own thoughts and opinions.**

I loved book one in this series and was looking forward to this story. OMG, this one grabs you from the first page and keeps you on pins and needles until the last one.
Colton Williamson former DEA, is in Witness Protection after being shot six times when his cover was busted.
Marshal Angel Larson was guarding him when he first went into the program. They became involved until she left overnight without a word.
Now a year later, he has a new life when she shows up at his front door because she needs a place to hide after being framed for murder.
Angel broke his heart when she left. But he still loves her and decides to help her hoping she doesn’t leave him again.
Angel, whose history is heartbreaking, doesn’t feel she can get close to anyone for fear of them getting hurt or she getting hurt. But she wonders if she could have a normal life.
The plot is engaging, filled with bad guys and whodunit. The characters are complex and very human.
The story is heartbreaking, but also filled with hope. Will Angel take a risk at love and a life with Colton, or will she continue to live a life of isolation.
Can’t wait to see what else this talented author has in store for us.
I was gifted a copy of this book by Netgalley. The opinions expressed are solely my own.

I loved this book. A fast paced, suspenseful, romance, what’s not to love?
I look forward to reading more books by this author.

LOVED this book! Angel is a US Deputy Marshall who wakes to find she was drugged and her witness dead, and, conveniently, she is the most likely suspect for the murder. Angel escapes before they can arrest her and bolts to the home of a witness, Colton, in Witsec that she had been involved with a year before. She crashes into his quiet existence and disrupts everything while trying to learn who the real killer is. Thus begins a game of cat and mouse, while trying to dodge the FBI and having her photo on national news as a wanted fugitive. While all of that is going on, Colton and Angel try to make sense of their relationship.

I loved the characters, and their back story, as they work their way through their story. This novel is fast paced romantic suspense at its best. If you are a fan of the genre, this is a must read and should be at the top of your TBR list. The author is on my must read authors' list.

I love a good second chance romance and this was a great one, there was plenty of romance but on top of this their was plenty of suspense making this a very entertaining read.

I absolutely loved, Wanted For Life. It was full of suspense that kept me guessing. 116 chapters felt a little too much though. I was constantly turning pages.
