Review ~ Four Seconds to Lose by K.A. Tucker

Four Seconds to Lose by K.A. Tucker
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Charlie was a strong character, but she was in a difficult situation that she was trying to get herself out of, and it was interesting to see the extremes that she would go to to accomplish that. Cain had some issues from his past that made it hard for him to fall for someone. Over time he faced those issues and slowly let Charlie under his skin.

When these two were together, they just seemed to fit, despite the age difference. Cain became very protective of Charlie and tried to get her to open up to him. The suspense element really hooked me and at moments even I was a bit panicky with the situations that Charlie was stepping into. I loved how hard Cain fell for her and the lengths that he would go to for Charlie. I just wished she was able to open up more to let him in.

It’s been a long time since I have read the first two books in the Ten Tiny Breaths series, and I've forgotten how much I enjoy this world and K.A.Tuckers writing. This read had me hooked right from the start and I devoured it quickly. I am looking forward to contining the series!

Title: Four Seconds to Lose

Author: K.A. Tucker

Series: Ten Tiny Breaths #3

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Published: November 4, 2013

When a gorgeous young dancer walks through his door, a strip club owner must decide whether to follow his rules or his heart in the third novel by the author of One Tiny Lie and Ten Tiny Breaths.

Owning a strip club isn’t the fantasy most guys expect it to be. With long hours, a staff with enough issues to keep a psych ward in business, and the police regularly on his case, twenty-nine-year-old Cain is starting to second guess his unspoken mission to save the women he employs. And then blond, brown-eyed Charlie Rourke walks through his door, and things get really complicated. Cain abides by a strict “no sleeping with the staff” rule. But being around Charlie challenges Cain’s self-control... and it’s been a long time since any woman has done that.

Twenty-two-year-old Charlie Rourke needs a lot of money, really fast, in order to vanish before it’s too late. Taking her clothes off for men makes her stomach curl but Charlie tells herself that at least she’s putting her acting and dancing skills to good use. And though her fellow dancers seem eager to nab their sexy, sophisticated, and genuinely caring boss, she’s not interested. After all, Charlie Rourke doesn’t really exist—and the girl pretending to be her can't get distracted by romance.

Unfortunately, Charlie soon discovers that developing feelings for Cain is inevitable, and that those feelings may not be unrequited—but losing him when he finds out what she’s involved with will be more painful than any other sentence awaiting her.
