Remembering that Jacob had
mentioned a cabin in the woods, she goes off in search of the man who she had been smitten and then heartbroken by.Unfortunately, once Kate finds Jacob it turns out that he wasn't just a jerk, he also had some secrets that he had been keeping. Kate soon finds herself running through the woods with Jacob and his son while the mob is hot on their tails. They escape to Kansas where Kate has to start her life over under an assumed name and living with a man she doesn't really know and his teenage son.'Hearts on the Run' by Summer Ericson is the author's debut novel in the romance genre. The book covers a lot of ground in a hurry, the author was definitely going for a frantic pace in the book, particularly in the last third where all of the characters start moving back toward each other for the final confrontation.The best thing about 'Hearts on the Run' is that the author is not afraid to hop into the heads of the antagonist, a man named Cain, or other minor characters to help t
ell parts of the story from a different perspective. While Ericson does not try to make you feel sympathy for the bad guys, he does a good job of helping you understand how they became the bad guys to begin with.All in all, it is a good, fast paced read that won't eat up too much of your time and tells a good story. A perfect romance thriller for a day at the beach or a rainy afternoon.
