"Hit and Run" by Lori Matthews is a well-written mystery/romance book. The heroine and hero are equally matched, and you feel a kinship with the heroine and her reasons for being in the situation she is in. As a reader, I found myself cheering Daniella on with her mission, and feeling her fears, pain and misery. I would recommend this book to other adult readers. The plot was well-planned and kept the reader reading.

Hit and Run is the third standalone novel in the author’s Callahan Security series. In this book, Gage is back in the US and frustrated as hell after running around Europe in the fruitless search for a computer programmer who he was assigned to protect...only to find out she’d been hiding out in Alaska the entire time. Computer programmer and hacker extraordinaire Dani considers the dark web to be her second home, but she realizes she’s in too deep when multiple attempts are made on her life. Dani begrudgingly accepts Gage’s help when it becomes clear to her that without him, there’s no chance that she’ll make it out alive when she heads to New York to deliver her cutting-edge facial recognition software. Their alpha personalities clash and the chemistry between them grows as they try to make it to New York in one piece. 

I do love me an enemies-to-lovers “ohh nooo there’s only one bed so I guess we’ll have to share 😒😏” trope. I liked the main characters in this story; Gage was wonderfully grumbly and Dani was a spitfire and I can DEFINITELY relate to a heroine who gets hangry. This was a pleasant and well-paced military-romance/romantic suspense novel that will keep you turning the pages without wearing out your brain trying to figure out what happens next. The side characters (especially Dottie & Co.!) add enough humor and levity to keep the story from getting too dark or serious.

This is my first read by the author. I wish I had read the previous books in the series. I wouldn't say they are completely necessary, but I would have gotten a fuller picture of the storyline. The story was fast paced and had a lot of action. My only issue was that it seemed like there was no real reconciliation after the blow up. There was a lot of hurtful things said on both sides and the author seemed to gloss over it during the wrap up of the story.

Romantic Suspense Author Lori Matthews Releases Third Book in the Thrilling Callahan Security Series

HIT AND RUN  

A Callahan Security Novel

By Lori Matthews

Lori Matthews, author of Break and Enter and Smash and Grab, returns with the last installment in the thrilling and sexy Callahan Security Series trilogy, HIT AND RUN .  In this novel, Gage Callahan knew his latest assignment with Callahan Security was going to be a disaster. He traipsed around Europe to locate the computer programmer he was hired to protect only to discover she’s actually a hacker hiding in Alaska.

Tensions mount when she narrowly escapes becoming roadkill as a vicious organization comes after her. It will take all his ingenuity to rush her to safety, especially when Gage’s primary objective…get her and the prototype to New York…becomes secondary to protecting his heart from a fatal attraction to the spunky woman.

Dani Pierce is used to working on the dark web but now she is truly scared because deadly trouble has arrived at her front door. The self-reliant hacker knows she’ll need help to survive her contract to build facial recognition software. The aggravating yet handsome man hired to protect her makes it clear he detests her, but that doesn’t stop her from developing feelings for him.

It soon becomes apparent to Gage that Dani’s in deeper than she’ll admit but her answers don’t explain why the deadly gang after her is always one step ahead. It will take his military skills and her hacking know-how to save not only their butts, but the budding love they’ve discovered in the midst of danger.

About the Author: 

Raised in Canada, Lori grew up in a house filled with books and readers. Some of her fondest memories are of reading in the same room with her mother and sisters, arguing about whose turn it was to make tea -- no one wanted to put their book down.

Lori was introduced to romance because of my mom’s habit of leaving books all over the house. One day I picked up a Harlequin novel by Janet Daily. Little did she know at the time that it would set the stage for her future. She went on to discover mystery novels -- Agatha Christie was her favorite -- followed by suspense and authors like Wilber Smith and Ian Fleming.

Intrigued by the thought of combining her favorite genres, she attempted to write her first romantic suspense novel while in high school. "I wrote the first four chapters and then exams happened and that was the end of that. I desperately hope that book died a quiet death somewhere in a computer recycling facility," says Lori.

After a few years (OK, more than a few), two degrees, a marriage and kids, Lori attended a workshop in Tuscany that lit her spark for writing again. She has been pounding the keyboard ever since. She lives in Princeton, New Jersey with her supportive husband and two children.
