Rutledge Werewolves #2
Hide And Seek
Josephine Lomax, a junior accountant, finds discrepancies in her Company’s records. When she goes to her boss that evening to try and find out what’s happening, she stumbles on his and a crooked cop’s decision to shut her up. Scared and not sure what to do – she obviously can’t turn to the cops - she runs and begins to play an intricate game of hide and seek.
Until she meets William Rutledge. They share a hot, passionate affair, until he wants to get to know her better. Willing to allow their affair to grow deeper, she answers his questions as best she can, and asks him a few of her own. It’s then she finds out he’s a cop.
Shocked and not knowing whom to trust, she runs again. The difference this time is not only she doesn’t want to run from this man, but she later finds out she’s pregnant with his child.
William Rutledge is a man on the edge. He simply can’t get Josephine out of his mind or dreams, so he tries to track her down when she runs. When he finally finds her, pregnant with his child no less, he is determined to convince her to trust in him. Once that is settled, along with the small matter of marriage and raising their child together, he knows he needs sort out whatever it is she’s so scared of.

Josephine Madox inadvertently finds herself looking at a setup to kill her between the owners son and a dirty cop, after she uncovers some accounting inconsistencies at the company she works at. Panic is her first emotion and she runs, three months later she is depressed and lonely hiding in Montana, until she meets bassist William Rutledge at the bar she stopped in at.
Her growing attachment to William is refreshing and filled with chemistry, until she finds out his day job is a cop. With a stumped up charge against her, she flees. Six months later William is still looking for the woman who he realizes is his mate, when he finds her she has a few surprises for him.
I am still perplexed on what to think. On one hand it was an interesting story, on the other it was missing something. I never did really figure if I liked Josephine or not, I would try one more in the series to see if it was better.
I am rereading this series, since I had only initially read this one and want to read them all. I liked this better the second time around, a lot of the shifter information is explained in the first one so it falls into place the second time around.

This was a great book sexy men that can sing and play but that is now who they are... They have secrets... Josephine is on the run and what she doesn't know at first is that William is a cop so after spending several weeks with him she ends up leaving him as soon as she finds out he is a cop. What she doesn't know yet is that she is his mate and is pregnant with his children. Yes, children. Will she go back and let him help her? Or will she keep this secret from him? What will happen when she finds out he is not who he seems to be? Will she tell him everything and give into the love they have both found?
Like I said this is a great book. They is laughter, sadness, love, family and shock. But there is also sexy, hot men who will do anything to protect what is theirs. This story is full of humor and flows.

Read book one first to understand this story better and how these werewolves think.
Liked William and his protective instincts.
Josephine was a bit more difficult to like as she could have been more proactive in her fate.
Hiding for months, then continuing to hide once realising she is pregnant was not very brave.
Basically she hands everything over to William and his brothers to deal with.
I did love the fun and healthy sex life these two had, even with being pregnant with twins. Very positive.
The ending with Petrelli wound up very quickly.
Have owned this book for many years but original review is missing.
I pick this series up every now and then for a reread.
Great to see this series in KU so I am reading it that way as there is a sixth book.

A wonderfully romantic story for pregnant women.
You do wonder about the outcome of the main plot though.
I had to subtract a star for that, at least.
Why have a plot and then just stop, when there is an epilogue.

I am really liking this series. I don't usually like pregnant books but it's not really about that. So i give this book 5stars.
