Dying to Run – Excerpt
A dark-haired man was playing with
his phone in the corner, his broad arms covered with tattoos. He looked
tantalizing in a gray T-shirt and jeans. Jesse. Joy and safety encompassed me
as I studied his handsome profile, wishing he would look up and rush to my
side. My legs could hardly support me.
“What have we here?” The speaker
was more tiger than man, right down to the tawny hair and flashing eyes. He
looked me over like I was an antelope he wanted to rip apart with his teeth.
Jesse’s head snapped up. “Cassidy!”
He jumped to his feet and crossed the distance between us in long strides. The
anger in his dark gaze pulsated through the room. I cowered, even though I was
pretty sure his fury wasn’t directed at me.
Damon whipped me around to his
other side, lifting a hand in a futile attempt to shield us.
Another man yelled, “No, Jesse!
Think!”
Jesse ignored the man, pushing
Damon out of the way with one arm while pulling me to him with the other. A
bull couldn’t have withstood the raw power emanating from him. Damon slammed
into a hard chair.
Jesse wrapped his arms around me,
his touch a soothing balm to all my aches, pains, and fears. “Oh, Cassidy,” he
murmured against my cheek.

My Review of Dead Running :
Dead Running is the first book by author Cami Checketts that I have read. I loved the main character: Cassidy. She is hilarious, determined and quirky. Her character kept my interest in this unique story from start to finish.
Through danger, fatigue and being pushed into joining a race, she kept me on the edge of my seat and my funny bone more than satisfied. There were a few parts, mostly with her family that seemed a bit slow for me, but I think it's mostly due to all the back and forth and humor mixed with crazy danger that made the more "normal" parts seem a bit slow reading.
Overall this book is well worth the price! I look forward to reading more in this series.
Cami Checketts is married and the proud mother of four future WWF champions. Sometimes between being a human horse, cleaning up magic potions, and reading Bernstein Bears, she gets the chance to write fiction.
Cami graduated from Utah State University with a degree in Exercise Science. Cami teaches strength training classes at her local rec and shares healthy living tips on her fitness blog: http://fitnessformom.blogspot.com.
