"Running Out of Time", by Kyona Jiles


Book#2 of Running Series

CIA Agent Jon Carter is a lone wolf but in his next mission he is paired with a newbie, Elana Miller, for an undercover job in Russia. Pretending to be lovers is their only way to face their nemesis and accomplish their task....Eventually things went south and the only way to get out of their predicaments was to play the game and then run for their lives.....and give us a thrill along the way...

This story is pretty engaging and held my attention throughout. The storyline is good and moves at a fast and steady pace and gives us a lot of visual scenes. The style is clear and easy to follow and gives us quite an unexpected ending....I love happy ending, not here. This story is a bit rough at times as Jon and Elana navigate the treacherous labyrinth of Blacks Ops. Their deadly dance between friends and foe definitely give us tension and all excitement desired. I loved these two, they are well- define and quite loveable. It is nice that the author did not forget to spice her story by adding a little bit of attraction between the two. A small break in tension was welcome.... Not a dull moment. Well-done and well-said.

I haven’t read the first book in this series and I can attest that “Running Out of Time” can be read as a standalone.

I received this book from the publisher via Netgalley for my thoughts: this is the way I see it.
