Revenge. Oh, it was going to be sweet. Warren "War" Channing finally has the chance to nail his beautiful, lying ex. And, no, he doesn't mean "nail" in the down and dirty sexual way...War means he has the opportunity to send the lovely and infuriating Rose Shadow to jail. Turned out, the woman who had shattered his heart beneath her high heeled shoes was wanted for murder. She was on the run, and he was just the man to hunt her down and toss her into the nearest cell...War could hardly wait. He was the last man she expected to need. The breakup had been ugly. Painful. It had ripped out her heart and left her in a sad, crying heap as she ate her ice cream, but Rose had moved the hell on, and she had sworn to never, ever need War again. Except, well, now she did need him and his sneaky skills because Rose was in trouble up to her eyes. The kind of trouble that could wreck a woman's life. He'll make her pay. Rose has cracked the story of a lifetime. She's uncovered a brutal serial killer who has been hiding in the shadows--only now, she is his next target. The cops think she's involved in the string of murders because maybe her DNA had been at a crime scene and maybe she'd been spotted by witnesses at another location, but Rose is a reporter--she'd been at the scenes because she was tracking down the real killer. Now, though, because War has caught her, Rose is out of time and options. War is former special ops. He's the best PI in town. And he's the man who gave her more pleasure than should be legal...Too bad that he's also the man who hates her the most. Forty-eight hours...then jail. They make a grudging deal--she'll pay him anything he wants if he just gives her forty-eight hours before he turns her over to the cops. During that forty-eight hours, he will help her track the real killer. When the clock runs down, she'll be out of his life for good. Except...a whole lot can change for two people in forty-eight hours. Hate can turn into desire. Need can rage out of control. And a love that you thought was long dead? It just might flash to life again. Provided, of course, that the murderer hunting Rose doesn't manage to kill her before she and War can catch him. Forty-eight hours. The countdown starts now... Author's note: The "Trouble For Hire" romance series features hot, former military heroes...and these guys truly are the best kind of trouble. All of the books are stand-alones with guaranteed happy endings. Danger, romance, action, suspense, humor...oh, it's definitely time to find some trouble.… (mere)

Warren "War" Channing is suspicious when the man who came between Rose Shadow and himself hires War to find Rose and force her to give herself up to the police, but War doesn't believe Rose is capable of murder, so he accepts the $20,000 finder's fee and goes after her. Rose knows she is on the radar of a serial killer. As an investigative reporter, she has tried and failed to discover enough clues to put the killer away before he kills two more women. However, she is determined to stay out of jail and find out who the killer is. It isn't long before War finds Rose, and it's clear that they will have to work together if they are going to solve this case and keep Rose safe.

No Escape from War is a very light romantic suspense. Although the ending provides some action and a twist, we never really learn the killer's motivation. Much of the dialogue in the book doesn't ring true and many of the situations are over the top. Even though the characters have been in a relationship together previously, when they reunite, it still feels too quick when conflicts and problems are easily overlooked. Also, it is difficult to connect with the characters, but the bedroom scenes are very steamy and well written. No Escape from War offers a few good elements, but overall, it isn't a strong read. ( )
