Prologue
Four
Months Before
Logan
Mile
after mile, I ran. Faster, feet pounding against the broken asphalt, breath
crystalizing in the air. I’d been fleeing along the edge of the road for what
seemed like eternity. Trucks zoomed past me, taillights fading in the distance,
and still there were no sirens.
The
moon slipped behind a cloud and left me moving blindly. Finally, a whistle
filled the darkness. It was what I’d been waiting for.
Let’s see how bad they want this.
I
spun in the opposite direction and spotted the familiar red and blue lights.
With a quick jump, I vaulted over the damaged guardrail and found myself
tumbling down a steep ravine.
Landing
on my stomach, blood dripped from my nose, and the taste of rust flooded my
mouth. I didn’t take the time to wipe it away. I had to keep moving. I’d
started this game and I was going to finish it.
Quickly,
I leapt to my feet and began to run again. When a sharp burning and throbbing
pulsated in my right ankle, I knew my speed would be impaired. I must have
twisted it in the fall. With everything I had, I tried to ignore the pain.
Adrenaline
pumped through my bloodstream, making my heart race and giving me the strength
I needed. I was no longer on the pavement and my terrain was harder to
navigate. Trees, broken branches, and the sickening smell of the stagnant river
surrounded me. I pushed onward.
It
could have been worse—at least there wasn’t any ice.
Still, it was fucking freezing out here. Snow fell around me.
Chilled to the bone, I tugged my hat farther down over my ears.
I didn’t stop, though—I had to keep going.
When my eyes were streaming from the cold and my leg muscles
began to seize up, I knew my body needed a break. I’d find cover and play the
wait-and-see game.
The dilapidated abandoned warehouse a few yards away seemed like
my best choice. The hinges were rusted and appeared broken, but when I yanked
on the door, it wouldn’t open.
With a sigh, I stomped my salt-stained shoes in the slush I was
standing in and looked around.
No sign of them, yet.
They’d be here soon enough.
My lungs burned as I bent over with my hands on my thighs in an
attempt to catch my breath.
Poised to move in any direction, I thought about my decision to
bait them.
Smart?
Stupid?
I couldn’t believe the game of cat and mouse I had entered
into—with the Boston Police Department nonetheless.
But I’d had enough. They’d been following me around for almost a
week. Their more-than-obvious tail was bordering on harassment. Pushed to the
limit, today I’d decided it was time to find out what it was all about. I was
going to force their move. I left my vehicle and took off. They were tracking
me, but what they were waiting for to approach me, I had no idea. At this point
I had two choices—approach them or keep going. Since I didn’t want to make it
easy, I kept running.
Time seemed to be at a standstill as I looked around again. I
knew they were close. Yet, as I searched my surroundings, there were no signs
of life; everything around me was dark except for the golden glow from the
cables of the Zakim Bridge.
The bridge.
I couldn’t believe I’d ended up on the West End. That was more
than a slight hike from the tip of the South End, where I’d started all this.
What time was it anyway?
Before
I could look at my watch—the one my grandfather had given me, the one worth more
than most of the houses in the surrounding area, the pretentious Patek Philippe
with an authentic enamel dial and custom-made rubber watchband, the one almost
a match for his own—a yellow beam of light shined down on me.
I
guess the BPD finally decided to make their move.
A
heavily Boston-accented voice carried through the wind. “Put your hands in the
air where we can see them.”
“Fuck
me. Really? You’re going to arrest me? For what?” My
gaze scoured the area until they came into sight.
There were three of them and one of me. I didn’t plan to keep
running. I didn’t need to, but even if I wanted to, there was nowhere to go.
The riverbank was on one side and they were on the other. The trio moved closer
and drew their weapons. I responded with equanimity and raised my palms. Still,
not a single one of them lowered a gun. Step by step, they moved toward me.
When they were about five feet away, I decided to help them out and face them,
but before I could, the tallest figure lunged for me.
He pinned me to the wall. “I just wanted to talk. I wasn’t going
to arrest you until you assaulted me. But thanks for giving me a reason.”
“I was putting my hands behind my back, asshole,” I grunted.
“Right,” he snickered.
Nostrils flaring, the fatter one grabbed me by my collar and
yanked me to him. “Stop resisting.”
What
the fuck?
A quick punch to the gut and a kick to my leg had me belly down
in a matter of seconds.
Most men would have been scared shitless, but not me. I
grew up living in two very different worlds, the only similarity being power
and greed. To look at me, you wouldn’t believe I was capable of doing the
things I had done. Born with a silver spoon in my mouth, I was the grandson of
one of the wealthiest men in New York City.
It
wasn’t my trust fund background that anyone had to worry about, though. I was
also the grandson of the former head of Boston’s Blue Hill Gang—a piece of me I
had tried to renounce. That I wanted to escape. But my family ties kept me
bound. The Irish Mob might have changed since my father’s father ran things,
but there were some things that never changed.
I’d been raised in both worlds and these cops knew it. They were
counting on the Blue Hill Gang part of me to greet them.

~ Review ~
Kim Karr is a fairly new author to me but when I heard she had a new duet coming out I knew I needed to read it. This book is full of secrets, lies, deceit and unadulterated lust. Hello Logan and Elle!
This book will take you on a whirlwind adventure in just the span of a week. Yes, BLOW is told over a 1 week period. I absolutely loved Logan. Sexy, determined and shrouded in a bit of a mystery. We all have a past and somethings are best left there but Logan's past lives in his present making him and those connected to him a target.
Elle....Recently new to town to help out her brother-in-law Michael O'Shea while he deals with cleaning up a mess made by his wife. Her sister that she hasn't seen in over 15 years. Will she become a pawn in a game that she doesn't even know she's now a part of?
When a chance encounter has them crossing paths they spark a fire that will rage into an inferno. The connection between Elle and Logan is almost instantaneous. Both with broken pasts filled with emotional scars, they are both surprised at the level of comfort they feel around each other and the need to be together.
This book was full of suspense. Every page was filled with a new bit of information building to the climax of the story. Several twists and turns in the plot will reveal that things and people are not as they appear to be. I absolutely loved the double meaning behind the title too.
This is Book 1 in a duet series, so no you will not have your resolution and you will be left with answers. Get ready for Crush coming this November. Something tells me it's going to be amazing! Get ready to be blown away!

I
live in Florida with my husband and four kids. I've always had a love for
reading books and writing. Being an English major in college, I wanted to teach
at the college level but that was not to be. I went on to receive an MBA and
became a project manager until quitting to raise my family. I currently work
part-time with my husband and full-time embracing one of my biggest
passions—writing.
I wear a lot of hats! Writer, book-lover, wife, soccer-mom, taxi driver, and the all around go-to person of the family. However, I always find time to read. One of my favorite family outings use to be taking my kids to the bookstore or the library. Today, my oldest child is in college and my twins are juniors so they no longer go with me on these outings. And although I don't need to go to the actual store anymore because I have the greatest device ever invented—a Kindle, I still do. There's nothing like a paperback. So now my four year old and I make dates out of going to the bookstore--it's time I love and cherish.
I like to believe in soulmates, kindred spirits, true friends, and Happily-Ever-Afters. I love to drink champagne, listen to music, and hopes to always stay young at heart.
