No Place To Run is the first book I've ever read by Maya Banks. This is a fantastic book. Although it is second in the series I was still able to keep up. The story centers around Sam Kelly, who is a member of a special ops team called the KGI. He, along with his five brothers, carry out dangerous missions that constantly have them living on the edge. While conducting a dangerous mission in Mexico, Sam meets sexy waitress Sophie. They embark on a hot affair until Sam has to leave on business and Sophie disappears without a trace. What Sam doesn't know is that Sophie is not the innocent she appears...she is the daughter of a high-profile, lethal criminal. Fast forward five months and Sophie shows up five months pregnant after being shot and nearly strangled to death. This is a great action, romance story. The characters are awesome.I like the fact that Sophie was an action girl and a fighter. She didn't just sit back and let the hero save her...she was capable of kicking butt herself. Great story!

loved it! my fave in the KGI series!
I enjoyed this one a lot better than book one (The Darkest Hour). The whole unplanned pregnancy plot isn't a favorite trope and I usually avoid those books. From the moment I started, it was difficult to put down. I really liked Sophie's strength.
Loved the 2nd book a lot better then the first. If you read the first one and are thinking of giving up...DON'T.
great book
LOVED IT!!!! I never thought I would enjoy books about "Army Guys" but the pictures Maya Banks paints in my mind about each & everyone one of them makes me feel like I have known them my whole life & they are the guy next door. Loved It & can't read what is next!!!
I loved this book. It had a little bit of everything. I almost didn't read this one because I hated the third book "Hidden Away (Garrett's story)." But I did love the first one. Glad I gave it a chance. I couldn't put it down.
I love Sophie. She cried a lot but after what she has been through and being pregnant on top of that, she is allowed to cry as much as she wants. She is such a survivor and had such emotional strength.
Sam was good. The brothers are really almost interchangeable which is a slight disappointment but it is still fun. But of course I love the family scenes. It was great to read the brotherly banter that I missed so much in "Hidden Away."
This book and the first are definitely worthwhile.

If the guy on the cover doesn't grab you, the story will! Lots of suspense, some tears, a few moments when you want to read through the pages and smack the guy up side the head for being stupid, but a good read for sure! I am looking forward to reading about the rest of the brothers, especially after a glimpse of them all in this one.
Even better than the first!
Fabulous second novel in the KGI series. Sam and Sophie met when they were both "undercover". Five months later Sam pulls a wounded, unconscious and pregnant Sophie out of the lake near his dock. Neither one has trust in the other.
As the story continues we are reminded that secrets can be dangerous to life and relationships.
Very good read.

Yuk. Reads like a corny soap opera for teenagers.
Loved it!! Great read!
This is the first book I've read in this series. While the book started out with a bang, it definitely slowed down significantly after about the first four chapters. The story line became fairly predictable and a bit melodramatic. I did like the family relationships between the brothers in the book, but I never actually bought into the depth of the whole relationship between Sam and Sophie. While this was an entertaining read, I'm not sure I'll rush out to find any of the others in this series.
great series, Maya never dissapoints
Good series
