Hmmm. Another stripped paperback from the store by someone I have never read. At first I thought it might have been a tongue in cheek parody. "Die" she ordered. He complied. Seriously. ....it smelled like Sunday morning in a Saturday night bar. Once I realized this was supposed to be serious I knew I could scratch another name off my ever growing list of authors.

I know childhood issues a really hard to get over and yet, it annoys me when the H/h spend most of the book pushing the other away. They said we most noticed in others what we least like about ourselves and they might be something to that. All I know is that I skimmed half of the book until Cat stopped running decided to take a chance in the relationship.

heroine with nine lives
The second book of this series was a surprise for me. The initial intensity of the book changes mid book to a very well written transformation in the character of Cat.

I hate that Cat constantly pushed Wilson away and made him feel like nothing more than a booty call. I hate that she went to face Solomon Tutuola, her father's killer, by herself and got beat to hell for her troubles, even though I do admire her strength and I was glad that she finally killed the bastard. I loved, though, how she fit right in with Wilson's family and they all accepted her. I jumped for joy inside when she finally realized that she loves Wilson. I love that Cat seems to be a natural with babies and that she thought about what it would be like to have a baby with Wilson.
Wilson, my poor baby. First Cat pushed him away and made him feel insignificant, and then he got shot. I love that he heard her call and came back for her after going into cardiac arrest. His parents and family were utterly amazing, and I loved his relationship with LaQueen. Also, I loved that he would go through anything for Cat. And I do mean anything.
I am very glad I do not have to read that sick bastard Solomon Tutuola's POV anymore.

Fun quick read.

I enjoy Sharon Sala in general and this was a pretty good read. I like the characters and look forward to more bounty hunting books about Cat Dupree. That's my main complaint, in fact, that the ending was so wide open, that there had better be another book!

Very nice sequel, now I'll have to find the next book. I love the two main characters Cat and Wilson, they have a good chemistry.

Slower than the first book, but the romance between Cat and Wilson makes it as good as the first one

Love isn't always pretty.
Every year, I have a standing date with Cat Dupree and Wilson McKay, beginning on the first of June. Nine Lives was the first fiction book I read after losing my daughter in 2006, and while Chrystal and Cat grew up very differently, I recognized the same fighting spirit in each of them.
Cat is chasing a ghost, one that could very well be the very same monster that cut her throat when she was 13, stabbed her father to death, then left her to die. Cat cannot forget the promise she made to her father to find him and make sure he pays for his crimes, even if it kills her. And she now has a name to go with the face, Solomon Tutuola.
Meanwhile, her fellow bounty hunter and sometime lover has fallen hard for Catherine Dupree. She doesn't know how to accept his love, and he doesn't know how how not to love her. Will they and their love survive? Only time will tell.

Cat Dupree was hurt
Sure her ribs were broken, she felt the bruises on her face, but the man who had killed her father was finally dead. She somehow made it to the motel room picking up her phone she punched in Wilson’s number.
He could hardly hear her, but finally understood where she was. He was in love with her but she never said she felt the same, even though she kept pushing him away he knew he had to go bring her home.

The first half and the second half of this book differ dramatically. The first half is full Cat as a lone ranger, and the second half more people come into the story. The second half of this book was so sweet and heartwarming it almost brought tears to your eyes and various points. The one question that hasn't been answered or even talked about in the series is what Cat's dad did and if there was some sort of motivation for his murder, maybe we will get filled in in the last book.

I thought the book was good. It picks up where the first book, Nine Lives, ended.
Same characters, some new. What I really enjoyed in this book is that Cat realized what she now has, she was so rough in the first book, but softer in this one. Cat could finally put the past behind her, and move on with Wilson. It was a nice read, looking forward to the final book in this trilogy.

This was a great book. This series was my first for Sharon Sala. I did enjoy book one Nine Lives. This one I enjoyed even more. There's suspense, action, evil. What I enjoyed the most was the character development after 'Cat' is able to let go of her past. How she's still tough but willing to let love in.

Tear your heart apart, emotional suspense thriller! The tough, bad ass Cat Dupree doesn't worry about fear of the unknown as she follows the devil deep into Mexico. What happens next reveals she does have a little soft spot inside that crusty heart of hers that gives her the strength to not stop till she gets the job done changing the lives of all she touches. Great book!

Fantastic!
I absolutely loved this book. Cat is a very determined and complicated woman, hell bent on capturing her fathers killer. Wilson is a determined man who doesn’t let up on Cat and keeping her for himself. So much drama, action and love in this one.

Wow, wow, wow. I read the first book in the series but this book is awesome. What a great read. Kept you on the edge of your seat and I just fell in love with the characters. Thank you Sharon for this book. I highly recommend

I struggled to read the entire book and to be honest, I speed read the book. The writing did not engage me or the story make any sense. To get a book published, someone had to think that it would sell. I honestly read the book because I had bought it.

This is the first Sharon Sala book that failed to grip me, I found myself skimming and not cheering for the damaged but determined heroine. There's one book left in the series, I'll give it a try, perhaps I. was simply too tired to enjoy the story.

Better than the last
Fast moving less jerky storyline glow. The oddity of switching from one characters thoughts to another is still in existence. Not so bothersome this time around

This book and the entire Cat Dupree trilogy of novels were totally outstanding. I must admit I can't get enough of Sharon Sala's writing

The suspense keeps me totally lost in this story. Saving lives and chasing evil is while falling in love makes the best stories

Binge read the first three books in the series and enjoyed them. This one was better than the first and the third one (Bad Penny) was the best of the three.
