This is one of the BEST Reece books yet. I love her LCR series, but this is a standout favorite of the series.
SYNOPSIS NO SPOILERS:
Secret Agents marry. The wife leave the secret ops world, and joins LCR in order to save people, and her sanity in the process. Hubby gets snatched. The bad guys set it up to look like he was killed. He is tortured, and about a year later rescued. He has been brainwashed to believe his wife set up his kidnaping. Fueled by a need for revenge, hubby kidnaps his own wife and threatens her life. She is overjoyed and astonished to find out he is alive, BUT disillusioned and heartbroken to know he hates her and blames her for his months of torture.
The rest of the book is about hunting down the evil people, and the married secret agents sparring and slowly reconciling. The man says he’s just a shell of a man, and claims he’s ‘running on empty’ (the title), and has nothing left for her. The woman is stubborn and continues to focus her love on a spouse that despises her and wishes her dead.
WHAT I LIKE:
This is a fast paced suspense romance that doesn’t slack off. It doesn’t have much of gooey, relationship stuff without some bullets flying, so I’d give it 10 stars if I could.
I like the characters. Good and bad, emotional, hurting, honorable, they have all the ‘right stuff’.
The best part is that this is part of a series. If you haven’t read the LCR series yet, you will LOVE them. They can all be read as a stand alone, or even out of order.
I MET THE AUTHOR:
I met the author at Lori Foster’s Reader Get Together a year or two ago. She is AMAZING! This is this little unpretentious gal that looks like she is a school teacher She was so humble and kind.Read more ›

Where to start…Christy Reece is an auto-buy author for me. Her romantic suspense is some of the best I’ve read. I know when I pick up one of her books; I’m going to get a despicable villain and a great couple!
I absolutely loved Running on Empty; it’s full of action, suspense, and romance. I love reunion stories. We get a glimpse of Sabrina and Declan’s happiness in the beginning and how it is brought to a devastating end. I got emotional several times throughout this story as Declan struggles with whether or believe Sabrina’s declarations of innocence or not.
Sabrina became a favorite of mine with her strength and belief in the love she and Declan shared, especially when Declan made believing in that love difficult.
The villain was a huge surprise! I love when I can’t guess who the bad guy its. When you learn about the torture Declan endured, you can see how bad this villain is.
Another great thing about Running on Empty is we get to catch up with some of the LCR gang. I can’t wait to see what is in store next for the LCR Elite crew.
I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

What an exciting ride! Declan Steele and Sabrina Fox are to-die for characters and their story will stay with you long after you reach "the end". There is plenty of action and suspense, especially the beginning chapters that will immediately hook you in and keep you on the edge of your seat. Beyond the suspense, the story is emotionally gripping with a couple that must overcome quite a bit in order to get back to their idyllic marriage. I don't want to give anything away, but trust me when I say you won't want to put this story down.

First of all I have to be honest and say how much I love Christy Reece. She is one of the very few authors where every book has been a 5* read for me. I love Romantic Suspense and the grittier the better.
I have been looking forward to this new LCR spin off and it didn't disappoint. Declan and Sabrina were perfect for each other, and as usual the nothing was held back with regards to the dark side of the story and neither were exempt from pain. I think for me, that's part of what works so well. All the characters have been brutalised in some way and all have over come and come through. They aren't perfect. They often times aren't nice, but they are always characters that you will fall in love with and want to back them 100%.
I'm not going to go into the plot, other than it's LCR on steroids and if you love the original series, you will love this even more. This was the perfect start to LCR Elite. (And yes, Cole and Noah both make appearances). I will say that I can't wait to see more of Riley (there is so a story there) and Justin as well as Aiden.

Note: I received an early copy from the author in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.
Just when I think Christy Reece can’t surprise me again, she ups the ante and pulls out all the stops in going far beyond my expectations. In her latest romantic suspense, she brings two strong, determined and often very stubborn characters to the forefront in one of her best yet. From the very start, I was held hostage and became a prisoner to this highly captivating and emotional story of the terrors precipitated by sick and heinous criminals on their victims. There were times where I seriously wanted to scream and cry out for the injustices that were thrown at this couple from many sides. Just goes to show that Christy Reece remains at the top of the list when it comes to writing both admirable and loving heroines and heroes as well as the despicable and demented evildoers in unforgettable and mesmerizing storylines.
Sabrina Fox is a heroine who gives as good as she gets. Not only is she a highly trained fighting machine, she’s a beautiful and smart woman in love – the until death do us part and beyond kind of love. At first, Declan Steele made it a little difficult for me to attach myself to him – although a perfect specimen of manhood. He’s tough and cold and calculating, and many times downright rude and crude. Just when I thought I couldn’t or wouldn’t let him under my skin, he dug deep and his appeal on every level presented itself so worthy that I tumbled head first.
I applaud the author on her crafty and skillful manner in keeping the evil that lurks in plain sight yet so well-covered that you’re never completely sure whodunit until the enemy steps before you.Read more ›
