Bait by Karen Robards



From Barnes and Noble:

It’s a business trip that takes attorney Maddie Fitzgerald down to New Orleans, but it’s hardly business as usual when a man breaks into her hotel room and tries to kill her. Barely escaping with her life, the sexy, stylish thirty-two-year-old brunette calls the police and finds herself face-to-face with FBI agent Sam McCabe. Unnerved by his questions — and his good looks — Maddie is told she’s been targeted by a hired killer, one who has eluded McCabe for years. Apparently, she’s been mistaken for another woman, an FBI informant of the same name who was also staying at the hotel that night. McCabe grills her, and then disappears. Shaken, she finishes her business and returns home to St. Louis.
But days later, Maddie is attacked a second time, and again McCabe returns to question her. He convinces her that the only way she’ll ever be safe again is if the killer is caught, and the quickest way to nab him is to use her as bait. Maddie reluctantly agrees, and sparks fly and then ignite as McCabe shadows her. But their unexpected romance throws McCabe off his stride — and puts Maddie in the hands of a killer.

This was my second Karen Robards book. I did not like it as much as Ghost Moon. It was kind of slow for me. It took a long time for you to see everything. It took a long time for the story to pull itself together. I still have another book by her on the nook and I'll read it, but I was a little disappointed in this on. After you finally got going it was over. I like the good parts to last a little longer. Once we finally get to the "chase" scene, they are still mad at each other and then...it's over. It was ok, not alot of suspense in my opinion though.
