5.0 out of 5 starsI did not review Book one or two ...
Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2020
Because, you truly had to read all three of these amazing books!
Book one simply cracked me up, I absolutely loved Alex and Mitch's story...
Then Logan, (aka Mr. up tight) and Lacy's novel, book 2 yep greatly appreciate you addicting me to your writing with the seal and thief's book in KU, from there no question my ten dollars for book two and three was history!
Then Gave and Dani, military intelligence (NI) and a hacker. All three books were excellent, for someone suddenly jumping into the seen, I spent ten dollars, that's a Heather Graham, Nora Roberts, Linda ...you get the point!
You got me with Mitch and Alex, btw my kind of thief!, then Logan and Lacy ,JAG, and "regular" ummmmm attorney, and finally Gage and Dani, and while some might think you can read all independently, as stand alones, well you can, but you lose way two much. You did a terrific job with the descriptive setting up for this trilogy, everything is interwoven, and done well. Add some amazing secondary characters, a terrific who, and what, and of course love stories with three unique kick axx women, WOW!
Ms. Matthews , you have a forever fan based on your beginning! I completely look forward to more!
Side note, 3 sisters and parents who read also, and as long as as Daddy was out of town, reading even at dinner was completely acceptable, yes Mama , too.
Novels such as your first three (wow, again) , saved my life these last 8yrs since losing my Mom and husband.
So , Ms. Matthews, I cannot wait to see what is next...
Dragan, needs to be written first ..hint!
Loved all three!

1.0 out of 5 starswaste of time and $5
Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2021
Could not get past the first 3 chapters. I kept going to see if it got any better. The author saved most of her creativity for the first 2 books in the series which were very good.
This book has the 2 main characters sniping and wining at each other so much it kills the story. I stopped reading once the female hacker (after solidly verifying her "rescuer" is one of the Callahans brothers looking for her to protect her) keeps lying to him, on and on.
Spoiler alert. She's stupid enough to steal from the Chinese government!
I returned to book at this point. Pure stupidity.

I was prepared to escape into the world of romantic suspense but “Hit and Run” didn’t live up to its hype as a “thrilling novel”. Dani Pierce is considered a “black hat” hacker and as such, is scorned by Gage Callahan who was hired to protect her. It seems she’s “borrowed” code from the Chinese and they’re after her to get
back what she stole. Dani is racing the clock to develop a facial recognition software that is more sophisticated than anything currently available. She has a young friend who is dying and Dani is racing the clock to find her friend’s birth parents before she succumbs to her illness.

This third book in the Callahan Securities series opens in Juneau Alaska with a dynamite scene of an actual hit and run, with Dani as the intended target. But some unfortunate woman who just happened to be wearing a similar outfit as Dani was the mistaken victim. (That little coincidence was never explained.) As a monster storm is approaching and all avenues of escape are closed off, the hapless pair boards a cruise ship hoping to elude whoever is chasing them and to get out before the storm hits. Can they stay one step ahead of the bad guys or do they keep dogging Dani and Gage?

As the drama unfolds and plays out it is riddled with unlikely scenarios and inconsistencies. Then there is the requisite attraction between the two protagonists, although it’s another case of insta-love/lust. Just your average trope for adding a bit of zest to an otherwise ho-hum storyline but I never felt a strong connection between the pair. Speaking of inconsistencies, the pacing is all over the place and when it slows down, it slows to a crawl.

All in all, this Lori Matthews novel didn’t impress me. Matter of fact I came very close to consigning it to the ever increasing DNF category. But I persevered and finished it. Phew! Three stars.

4.0 out of 5 stars A full of action romantic read
Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2020

Will they find in themselves to accept the other completely...

I confess I had this book downloaded but it’s Netgalley release date was set in two weeks. Yet an other author sponsored it as being released yesterday.
Gosh!
So I switched my reading schedule to add it for today.
I did not know the author but from time to time, I love a good romantic suspense.
Dani and Gage are two persons very set on their way, both so stubborn they will nearly blow to dust their relationship before understanding how each was relying on the other.
Dani did not grew up in a loving environment, so after the abuse she suffered in her foster home, it is understandable she could not follow a straightforward path. She made herself and choose her own path. Not a clear road but one bordering shadows and laws.
Gage is the down to the rules guy, he believes in laws and justice not in chaos. He is honorable and his words are vows he always keeps.
So Dani is his antithesis, worse his nemesis since his best friend’s death.
It was fun to watch them working together, trusting then doubting, going for the jugular then putting their life in the line of sight.

I haven’t read the previous books but Gage’s brothers were fun. While the end contains the most of the emotional scenes.
4.25 stars

I was granted an advance copy by the publisher Wild Coyote Press, here is my true and unbiased opinion.

4.0 out of 5 stars Craziest journey so far
Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2021

A hacker, the Triad, a security company, a billionaire and journey on a cruise ship. This story was all over the place as the last brother was set to find the hacker working with Drake in an effort to protect her and find who the mole was. The story is intricate and vivid. The backstory and reaction to water was horrifying and added a unique element to the story and survival method. Seeing the brothers relationship evolve in this series has been fun. Also, the VIP for this book was all the helpful older women. They had me smiling and teary eyed. The villain (mole) was made clear in the story a bit before the characters solved it, but it was great to see the why behind it explained.

Great ending and interested to see how the hunt for the sister goes in the next book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic suspenseful read
Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2020

This is the first book I’ve read by Lori Matthews, but I’ve already purchased Logan and Mitch’s books. I can’t wait to read their stories, as soon as time permits. Hit and Run is a suspenseful book with a wonderful side of romance. Dani is trying to come up with face recognition software, but there are people trying to get to her. Her boss, Jameson Drake, hires Callahan Security to protect her and this is how she meets Gage. Please do yourself a favor and grab this wonderful book, but be prepared to shed a few tears in one certain section. I’m so glad I found another new to me author and it was a bonus to end up enjoying the book as much as I did.

I received an advanced reader copy of this book from NetGalley and this is my voluntary and honest review.

I enjoyed reading this book.It is fast moving and compelling with edge of the chair and nail bitting suspense. The writing flowed easily and effortless and the characters you will fall in love with. They are strong,yet vulnerable, seeking love but afraid to step out on faith and sexy and beautiful. You will love the chase and hide, the twist and turns and the final phrase when it all comes together.Overall an outstanding and amazing book and will not be disappointed by selecting it.

Dani’s and Gage relationship was protector/ security and client, that turn into needing each other sexual. Professionally they didn’t get along because of her trade as a hacker and him judging all hacker as the same — stealing for selfish reasons. She was hired to make a prototype of identity recognition, the person could find his sister who was kidnapped.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good read
Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2020

This was my favorite one in the series. The mystery or suspense that goes through all 3 books is really good. I struggle with the over writing about the attraction between the characters. I get it, they’re attracted to each other, but it gets repetitive and it happens in all 3 books. This writer could be as good as Sandra Brown or Nora Robert’s and so many others if she didn’t over write the attractions and focused on the suspense and mystery. She’s so good with that story.

1.0 out of 5 stars Completely unrealistic
Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2020

The plot was unrealistic to begin with. I read the book until it was revealed from whom the hacker stole the software. That was too unbelievable for me to continue with the book.
