The last person Sam Kelly expected to save was Sophie Lundgren. Once they shared a brief, intense affair while Sam was undercover and then she vanished. She's spent the last few months on the run, knowing that any mistake would cost her both her life and that of their unborn child. Now she's resurfaced with a warning for Sam: this time, he's the one in danger.
Pregnant Sophie Lundgren knows the risk she takes to herself and her unborn, but feels she must. She searches for the father of her baby Sam Kelly to warn him he is in trouble though she expects a cold welcome as she ran away from him five months ago.
Sophie is wounded in her quest to find him. Sam is stunned not just because his beloved Sophie is hurt though he is concerned after pulling her out of the nearby Kentucky Lake; it is the pregnancy, which he knows is his child. Hoping he learned from his previous mistake of losing his beloved Sophie, but still unsure why she suddenly vanished several months ago, Sam vows to keep her and their unborn safe. He has no intention of letting the love of his life go again whether Sophie wants him or not.
The second KGI (Kelly Group International) romantic suspense (see The Darkest Hour) is a great thriller that grips the audience from the opening moment of Sophie's return and never slows down until the final climax. Fans will appreciate this strong entry summarized by pregnant Sophie who understands first hand the naturing vs. nurturing debate as she prays her two categorical negatives multiplies into a positive as Sam believes they will.

Sophie Lundgren had been on the run for months. Men who worked for her father were hot on her trail and Sophie only had one person left to protect her. Sophie knew her former lover Sam Kelly would protect her once he found out she was carrying his child. But would Sam forgive her when he found out the truth about Sophie?
Sam Kelly never strayed off the path before on a mission with KGI until he met Sophie. His focus should have been on his job but thoughts of Sophie kept flooding his brain. Suddenly Sophie reappears after a several months absence, nearly drowning in the lake by Sam's cabin.
Sam is shocked to reunite with Sophie, the pregnancy alone boggles his mind but her story of her family threatens everything he holds dear.
Can Sam trust Sophie and her story or will her enemies take the matters out of both their hands?
No Place to Run is a fast ride of emotion and terror. The men of the Kelly Group are tough as nails but are tender to those they love. Sam Kelly is the perfect example of a strong but sensitive man. His and Sophie relationship grows and chances as they really learn more about each other. You will not be able to put this book down once you start it. I am so glad I found this series. Bring on the next KGI agent.

This was a really good book. It wasn't your typical romance/sex novel it actually had a really good plot- and the plot was, you know, most of the book. I'm going to buy the third in the series. Most definitely worth a read or two.

Book plot was ok. I could do without the constant use of the Lords name in vain. It took away from the story.

I enjoyed this book as much as the first. Each brother goes through much to find love and the author does a great job keeping the reader involved.

I read the first book for my book club and I was hooked. It took me one day to read this book and the others!! Banks has a fun way of pulling you into the story and not just for the romance but for the action that happens in each of these books. I love this Series and am desperately waiting for the next one to come out!!! Thanks Maya Banks for these fun amazing books!!

I definitely have a thing for the eldest Kelly brother Sam. I love his protective nature towards his family & now to Sophie. They have a funny way about them that is so endearing. I adore Maya Banks and the KGI team that she created. Great book, action packed, lots of romance, and strong female heroine. Great read!

Sam & Sophie. Great writing. Really loved reading it. Quite disappointed in Sam. A little slow on the uptake Sam was. But loved the story and the characters. Again the family!! Loved them all. And cant wait to hear how much trouble ''dad'' will cause now. haha I am so excited to get onto Garretts story......lets get this party started. haha

First book piqued my interest but this one is poorly written almost puerile and certainly formulaic. All the men have the same character definition and behavior which is stereotypical to say the the least. Even the sex seems to be just thrown in there as an afterthought and not part of the plot. All in all not worth the money.

5 Stars and if I had more to give I would!
“She kissed him. Just Once. With all the sweetness she’d brought into his life in just a short time.”
The first book in the Kelly Group International series by Maya Banks first chapter brought me to tears, in the second book in the series Maya Banks turns up the heat on the first page! Sam Kelly is in as he puts it “BumF* Mexico” on a mission, but he has been captivated by Sophie – a woman he meets in a bar. They have been sharing their evenings in his hotel room for 2 weeks. One morning a knock on his hotel room door brings a sealed note, a break in the case he is working with his brothers. In his heart Sam knows he will come back to find Sophie.
Five months later Sophie has run out of places to hide, she has tried to stay away from Sam to keep him safe, but she has run out of time and there is someone more important that needs protection now; Sam’s unborn child. Sam went back to Mexico to look for Sophie but could not find her, then one day he is sitting on his dock and in the water sees someone floating on a log, he jumps in the water and is shocked to not only find out it is Sophie, but that she is pregnant.
The suspense story that follows is heart pounding. Sophie needs protection from the moment she is found in the water. Trusting someone is one of the hardest things for Sophie, she has always had to take care of herself. Sam has his own trust issues and is constantly second guessing Sophie’s motives. That makes a great story, but include the dialogue between Sam and his brothers and it propels this book into 5 stars.
“You’re not still hung up on that chick are you?” (Garrett)
“What the hell are you talking about?” (Sam)
“We’re in f* Mexico trying to set up a buy with Alex Mouton, and lover boy takes time out to have some hot fling with a waitress in one of the local watering holes.” (Garrett)
“So? He still has a dick. Bound to use it sometime”. (Donovan)
These brothers know how to razz each other, but they also know how to protect family. All my favorite characters made appearances in this book, and we got to know a few members of the team a little better. Every sweet scene between Sam and Sophie was matched with a scene that ratcheted up the suspense to a twist at the end that caught me by surprise. Sophie’s bravery almost brought me to tears. And when Sam doubted Sophie’s honor I wanted to slap his face.
After borrowing the first book in the KGI series from the library and enjoying it so much I ended up buying this book for my Nook; I didn’t not want to endure the long waiting list to borrow this book. I am not even going to look to see how long the wait is for KGI book 3; I am just going to my Nook and buying it now!
