Helpful Score: 1
I haven't been reading this series in order but so far it hasn't been impressive. This one is really bad.
The only thing I really liked about it was the plot of capturing real people to play a game. How they make the players do the dirty work was a bit dumb but really O'Clare only spends maybe 10 pages on this so it doesn't really matter.
Bad things about this book: There are so many I don't know where to start. It's is super slow and boring. Most of the action scenes are written about what the characters are thinking and very little on the actions itself. In fact I think there was too much time spent on what the characters thought.
O'Clare picked the worst times to interject sex thoughts. An important coversation would be happnening and all of a sudden, O'Clare will put thoughts like "she is so sexy" or how hard someone's nipples are. It disrupted the flow and it wasn't sexy at all.
Like with Jake's book, O'Clare has a lot of repeated phrases and information. Really irritating. You are basically reading the same thing every few chapters.
Dialogue was horrible. There were a lot of times I had to go back and reread wondering what they were talking about.
Repeated sexy thoughts about your cousin, especially comparing her physically with the girl you want? Ewww. Just a bit too kinky for my taste.
There are more things not to like which is sad because I recall reading on of O'Clare's other series and really enjoyed it. Don't know what happened with her but definitely don't waste your time on this one.

This was a good story although not a keeper. Marc King takes a vacation to Aspen, CO where he meets London who is working at the inn where he is staying. They both start getting strange packages that are linked to the "game" that is the series story line. I thought that the ending was stretching reality a little but it was action packed. The story sets up nicely for the next in series "Stay Hungry".
I really enjoyed this 2nd book
of the Bounty Hunter series.
Marc is hunk for sure!

Again I only read half the book. It WAS better than the first, significantly. But the fact that I couldn't get myself to finish it had to affect my rating, because I hate not finishing a book. I just simply found the whole "bad guys" gonna kidnap "players" for a war-game scenario extremely uninterestingly written. So, once they got kidnapped...and I was barely enjoying the story...I gave up. There is ZERO justification for dragging this story out an extra hundred pages. And that's what it came down to...I might have finished it if it was shorter (not because I don't like long books), but why drag myself through ANOTHER 200 pgs? Ugh! My emotional investment in the characters wasn't high enough.

I am really liking this series, the more I read the more I'm ready for the next book in the series to come out. I think readers, and fans of Lorie's, will be more happy with this one than they were with the first book in this series ( Play Dirty ). That isn't to say there weren't parts of this book I didn't care for, almost every book I've read of Lorie's I've had something harsh to say but in the end I really did enjoy Get Lucky and can't wait to read about the next Jake. The youngest of the King men. :)
Enjoyed book very much, great story line.
enjoyed!! :)
