Steph's Review:
 
 
 
****4 Stars****
 
 
 
Wow...
 
Cam and Hunter are such cute couple.
 
The plot was entertaining ( kinda makes you feel like Nancy Drew ;) 
and characters were remarkable, so loveable. 
 
 
A Hunted Man is complicated
 with twists, turns and maybe a umm.....WTF moment or two.
 
 
~2 Sexy Alpha Males with opposites attract syndrome ~
  
~Mysterious~
 
~Good vs Bad~
 
~Balls to walls action~
 
 
 
 
A Hunted Man is completely different from A Better Man.
 
I connected with AHM more easily. It stole my attention.
 
Although I did LOVE seeing Julian and Matt being in such a wonderful
place in their relationship.

Excerpt:
 
 


Chapter 1
 
 
Cameron Pierce didn't really know what to expect when the entire nightmare began days before his eighteenth birthday, but here he was, standing behind a large metal door waiting for it to open and grant his freedom.
 
Nine years, eight months, two weeks, and five days of hell.
 
Even though he had to stay in a designated halfway house for the next few months, at least he wouldn't have these bars or barbed wire fences to constantly
remind him of his nightmare.
 
He fidgeted.
 
 In exchange for almost ten years of his life, the prison system gave him a hundred bucks for expenses during transfer, and a plain, standard-issue cardboard box containing his personal items-
a watch, ten bucks, and a pack of gum.
 
Everything broken or useless, which pretty much mirrored his existence.
 
He ditched the box and everything else then pocketed the cash.
 
The gears of the large metal door ground as they inched open.
 
Cameron shifted his weight from foot to foot, waiting for just enough space to squeeze through the door. He looked over to the guard and concluded he'd be better off attempting to walk out of this prison with a little dignity.
 
At the pace these doors opened, he figured he'd age another decade in the process. He closed his eyes and counted, begging for a little patience to come his way.
 
He finally heard the grinding stop and opened his eyes.
 
There, in the middle of the empty parking lot, Sam leaned against a car with crossed arms and a smile.
 
Cameron groaned as he finally exited the prison gates.
 
Mr. Samuel Issacs, rehabilitation officer, also secretly campaigned for sainthood
 every chance he had.
 
His job was to help a group of assigned inmates rejoin the world with others but his mission was to mentor them.
 
Sam wanted to talk, help, and offer support.
 
Cam, on the other hand, knew better than to open his mouth, and he damn sure wasn't going to risk Sam becoming some form of collateral damage.
 
Cam had learned that lesson the hard way.
 
"Hey, Sam," he said once he arrived where Sam was parked.
 
"Hey, Cam. I thought I'd give you a ride to the halfway house instead of having you take the bus," he said as he opened the passenger side door of the car.
 
Cameron waited, not sure if sitting in a car for hours with Saint Sam was a good idea.
 
"C'mon, Cam. I can guarantee you the drive with me will be better than a busload of people coming back from Universal Studios with stinky feet and a crapload of gas."
Cameron groaned.
 
Sam laughed.
 
"Besides, I already filled out the paperwork so you're stuck with me.
 Get in."
 
Cam didn't say a word. He climbed into the car, sat in the passenger seat, and then closed the car door.
 
"Buckle up, it's the law."
 
"Are you kidding me?"
 
"Nope, state of Florida, it's the law."
 
"Since when?"
 
"Just strap in so we can get out of here."
 
Cameron groaned again as he pulled the belt and clicked it in place. He hated the way it cut into his damn shoulder. Who knew what else had changed while he was in prison. Just another reminder of things he had missed. He shifted in his seat only to have his movement limited by the seat belt restraint.
Wonderful.
Here he was, finally out of prison, yet somehow still found a way to be constrained in a small enclosed area. Hell, this was even smaller than the six-by-eight cell he’d called home for almost a decade.
How ironic.
