Realizing she needs help fast, Victoria runs off to find assistance, but by the time she returns with a police officer, Audrey is gone.A distressed Victoria turns to her father, powerful lawyer Walter, and asks whether Audrey has left her home in Florence, Italy. Walter insists her sister remains overseas, but Victoria concludes her father is lying to her. She begins to trace Audrey?s whereabouts, which leads Victoria to the upscale Hope Institute. The FBI and her former lover Zach Hamilton are conducting surveillance on the place. As Zach and Victoria work together to save her sister from a group that includes her father, they realize that their feelings for each other are still alive and growing stronger. RUN FOR YOUR LIFE is an exhilarating thriller that will provide talented author Andrea Kane a cross-genre audience. The taut story line is filled with action and a sense of foreboding as the intrepid Victoria refuses to stop her desperate search in spite of overwhelming odds. The obstinate Victoria will hook readers with her efforts even as they understand what drives her due to the secondary characters providing a glimpse into her personality. Even though he is a bit too perfect, Zach remains a marvelous, intelligent hero. With this novel, thriller fans will now realize what romantic suspense readers have known for years that the mark of Kane on a novel means entertaining, exciting literature. Harriet Klausner

Summary: A Disappointment...
Review: What a disappointment!! Run for Your Life had such a promising premise - brilliant lawyer Victoria trips over her sick sister Audrey while jogging in Central Park, but when she returns with help, Audrey is gone! She and old flame Zach dig deep to discover if the exclusive Health Institute Audrey is being treated in, is actually a cover-up for a drug syndicate. This novel was full of wooden, 2 dimensional characters, stilted situations and false tension. Besides needing about 150 pages edited out ( as many others have mentioned) the editor was sleeping on the job so many other times: Victoria was described as having a sharp, analytical mind and half a page later Zach was described as having a sharp, analytical mind!! I got to page 250 and realized I was pretty much wasting my time with a story and characters I did not care about, so I skimmed through to the end just to see how it came out. No big surprises. So - read at your own risk. It's hard to get involved with a story when you really don't care about the characters and the plot.
