Fiction. Romance. Suspense. Thriller. HTML:New York Times bestselling author Laura Griffin's Desperate Girls is a tightly wound, fast-paced romantic thriller that follows a desperate woman on the run as she hides from a killer's symbolic revenge spree.
Defense attorney Brynn Holloran is right at home among cops, criminals, and tough-as-nails prosecutors. With her sharp wit and pointed words, she has a tendency to intimidate, and she likes it that way. She's a force to be reckoned with in the courtroom, but in her personal life, she's a mess.

When a vicious murderer she once helped prosecute resurfaces and starts a killing spree to wipe out those who put him behind bars, one thing becomes clear: Brynn needs to run for her life.

When the police come up empty-handed, Brynn turns to a private security firm for protection. But when she defies advice and gets involved in the investigation, even the former Secret Service agent assigned to protect her may not be able to keep her safe. With every new clue she discovers, Brynn is pulled back into the vortex of a disturbing case from her past.

As the clock ticks down on a manhunt, Brynn's desperate search for the truth unearths long-buried secrets and reignites a killer's fury.

Desperate Girls by Laura Griffin is the first book in the romantic suspense Wolfe Security series. This is my first or second read by this author And I liked it enough that I will be continuing the series. I find That’s thrillers plus a little bit of romance make for a fun read. If you like Nail biting suspense this is your author, I’m thoroughly enjoyed This read And was propelled forward on what I would call a very bumpy fun ride. Brynn is a defense attorney That ends up having to Deal with a high priority case to a point where He needs a security team. As the pages turn you realize that the story is much more twisted then you realize. There are 3 different perspectives in this story At each perspective To get a sense that the story continues but the personality in each chapter is different which makes this so much fun to read. The action scenes Happen to be very well written which moves the story along well. The only thing that was so-so was the courtroom stuff. 4 stars from me on to the next.

Brynn Holloran is a prosecuting attorney turned defense lawyer about to defend a teenager against murder charges in a Dallas courtroom. When a notorious serial killer that she helped put behind bars escapes prison, Brynn's boss hires Wolfe Security to protect her and her second chair, Ross. Brynn balks at the idea of having her movements restricted, but her boss insists as other law enforcement personnel involved in the serial killer case start turning up murdered. Sparks fly when Brynn resists the efforts of the attractive bodyguard, Erik Morgan and his team, who have been assigned as her protection detail.
Desperate Girls is well written with snappy dialogue and a good plot line including a nice twist at the end, however, the bodyguard/protectee romance has been done so often, that it is difficult to find any new ground to cover. I enjoyed this book but found it lacking in originality. ( )

I enjoyed reading through this one. I did not want to put it down. Would recommend this as it gives some action, romance and some hot headed leads. ( )

I wasn't sure what I was going to get when I saw the cover of this book, but the description intrigued me. I was NOT disappointed! This was my first Laura Griffin book and I now need to go and read her other books!

Brynn is a force to be reckoned with in court, but she needs help when the man she put away when she was a prosecutor escapes prison. Erik is one member of the security team that helps to protect her, and sparks fly when he meets Brynn.

I love the drama, suspense, the major twist at the end that surprised me, I couldn't put the book down, I didn't want to stop reading it. Cannot wait until the next book in the series comes out.

This review is based on a galley copy from netgalley, courtesy of the publisher. All opinions are my own. ( )

Defense attorney Brynn Holloran is a force to reckon with in the courtroom, but in her personal life she's a mess. When a vicious murderer she prosecuted resurfaces and starts killing everyone who helped put him behind bars, Brynn turns to a private security firm for protection. When Brynn defies advice and gets involved in the investigation, even the former Secret Service agent assigned to protect her may not be able to keep her safe.

This book had suspense, action, romance and sex, with a little more on the suspense side, which I liked, than the romance side. I enjoyed the perspectives of the security firm and some of the things they did to protect Brynn. Overall, a fun read. ( )
