I am really enjoying this series. This book "First You Run" is the first in a trilogy within the series and I am very excited to read the other two books. There is a arc that will connect the books and each book has its' own hero and heroine and a mystery to solve.

Big Mystery: Who fathered the recently-pregnant woman (who was then forced to adopt), who set her up for murdering another of his lovers?

Since this is the first part of a trilogy-within-a-series, the mystery I want solved isn't yet, but the read is a tale of bullet catchers teaming up to find a daughter of the aforementioned woman who is in prison, dying of a disease that a bone marrow transplant from her daughter might help cure.

Of course, the other question is whether this woman lives long eno ...more
