What They Say

Trouble's on the run in rural Eider, Iowa, and Deputy Cassy Rivers's heart is in the line of fire. Two years ago, she barely escaped a harrowing experience at the hands of a maniac - and not without scars. Now a series of random robberies leads to the brutal death of a fellow officer, and she must put her trust in the one man who broke her heart.
FBI agent Boyce Hunt knows commitment isn't for men with pasts like his. He left Cassy once to protect her from the blackmail and manipulation he faces from his mother's criminal enterprise. But when they reluctantly partner up to capture the modern Bonnie and Clyde terrorizing McIntire County, their attraction flames to life once more, pulling Boyce between two loyalties.
Will they risk their hearts again, even if it means losing everything?

My Review

Before you read this book, please be aware that it's a sequel! I went into the book not knowing that, but with all the subtext and hints to a previous story concerning The Priest, I asked Winter if there was indeed a book prior to Born To Die and there is! Atonement! I'm kind of interested to read it, as well, because Nicola sounds so, so interesting. She certainly seems to have a story to tell (well, it's been told to be fair). However you can read this as a stand-alone, I just think there's a better reading experience for you if you read Atonement first, because you'll be able to understand a bit more (I assume) why Cassy is the way she is. 

Born To Die was a great read. Cassy and Boyce were such intriguing characters, clearly both characters who had been hurt at some point in their past, but I liked their chemistry. I liked how they put aside whatever went on in Atonement and worked together (kind of) to try and solve the murders and robberies featured in Born To Die. 

I whizzed through Born To Die. It was a really decent crime read, and I liked getting to know all of the characters, and the plot was intriguing - I was dying to know who was behind it all, and why. It had great characters, a great plot and the story skipped along at a really great pace. I really enjoyed the book, and I can't wait to go back and read Atonement and fill in any missing gaps!
