Product Description

A sexy black-ops hero and a beautiful ER nurse must fight for their lives--and for a love they never thought possible...

"Do this last mission and we'll tear up your contract." Kick Jackson, former CIA spy, has heard that one before. But this time, saying no isn't an option. Only he can identify a dangerous terrorist and stop a bloodbath--and Kick's conscience won't let him walk away. Unfortunately, his enemies are bent on making sure he never walks again, sending him on the run--and straight into the arms of the one woman with the power to save him.

Nurse Rainie Martin wants to run like hell when Kick kidnaps her, but how can she abandon a wounded hero? Thrown unwittingly into an international game of deadly stakes, Rainie soon realizes the drop-dead gorgeous rogue operator has sent her well-ordered life spinning out of control. To survive she'll have to face her worst fears ... including a lethal attraction to her dangerous captor.

From the glitter of New York to the desolate sands of the Sahara, the unlikely couple must battle to stay alive, while finding the courage to trust again--and something even scarier: to open their hearts to love...

From Publishers Weekly
Bruhns (Killer Temptation) makes a successful move from category romance with this fast-paced thriller. Beautiful, capable ER nurse Lorraine Rainie Martin never fully recovered from the death of her parents in a carjacking. At a speed-dating event, Rainie falls hard for a dark and dangerous stranger who whisks her away. Expecting a night of passion, Rainie instead learns that Kick Jackson is dodging his employers at the CIA and detoxing from Oxycontin. When the government catches up to them and forces Rainie to join Kick in fighting terrorists in Egypt, she must battle her fear of travel and help Kick overcome addiction. Readers focused on the lovers' powerful chemistry will happily gloss over the hilariously implausible action scenes. A subplot involving Rainie's friend Gina and a sexy CIA operative is left hanging, presumably for a sequel. (Aug.)

Customer Reviews

Hot new suspense
Shoot to Thrill by Nina Bruhns is very thrilling. I read this author when she wrote for silhouette and loved her books. Having a fuller length novel by her is fantastic. The basic plot is Kyle"Kick" Johnson meeting Nurse Rainie Martin at a speed dating event. Kick is a former CIA agent trying to stay "out" of the business and Rainie just needs a date and hopefully some sex with a hot guy. At least thats the plan when she agrees with her friend to attend the speed dating. I loved Rainie and all of her hang ups. Kick wasnt perfect and I loved that even more. He's coming off of painkillers and has a bad leg from an incident in A-stan. From the very beginning you can tell that Kick is a sweet guy under the hot agent disguise. The secondary characters were REALLY good and I dont usually get distracted from the main story to care as much until they get their own story but Bruhns had me fanning each time she cut to a scene with Gina Rainie's best friend. The plot was good and while I could have done with a little more protesting from Rainie about tagging along with the CIA, it didnt take away from how much I enjoyed this. This is the 1st in a trilogy from what I can tell and the blurbs about the other 2 look as thrilling as this one. Good amounts of romance, enough suspense not to drive you crazy and the right balance as the story goes along

Loved this book
This was my first time reading this author and I was not disappointed I thought the main characters of Rainey and Kick were fabulous but then I found myself even more interested in the secondary characters Gina and Greg. There was plenty of hot romance and hot action.

I am looking forward as another reviewer has stated for Ginas story.

Fast Paced Thriller
This was my first book by Nina Bruhns. Shoot to Thrill was a sexy book and had some good secondary characters. But I don't think the book was proofed well. It got tiresome reading the phrases: Holy Jesus, God, Jesus H. Christ, Holy Christ, Sweet Jesus, God, Holy Hell,God,Dear God, Oh!God, my God, Thanks God, Omigod, God, Jesus, Holy Jesus, Good Lord, sweet heavenly God, Merciful Jesus, God Willing, Lord God Almighty, Etc. etc.
