I am enjoying these stories about the NY Leopards. The main characters are young, rich, beautiful, smart. Privilege and glamour are the context of their lives. Allison Parr makes me feel that these are real people. In other books I have read, the point seems to be surface appearances and luxury brand-name goods, I am offended rather than intrigued. In Running Back, I can feel the sun, heat, and dirt that she describes on the archaeology dig.I look forward to reading more on the NY Leopards, including Abe's story. I really liked Rush Me, so I was excited to read the second installment in the series (Running Back). Unfortunately this one just isn't as captivating. It starts off decent, but man does it drag in the middle. I found myself skimming. And skimming. And skimming some more. It gets slightly better at the end (I really liked the last couple chapters). HOWEVER, the epilogue was not needed. I'm trying to figure out a spoiler free way to explain why. I'll just say... I think the archaeology storyline kind of meshed with the romance storyline and both were tied up in a very satisfying way at the end. Then we get the epilogue, which is just too much and totally unnecessary considering how well the story ended.
What do You think about Running Back (2013)?
The love story hear is very nice, but especially nice was the location imagery. Great quick read.

Better than the first but not as fast paced
