Summary
Elizabeth was a young widow with two small children when she met Congressman Richard Baker. Handsome and wealthy, with a sparkling public image, Richard seemed like the perfect man to provide the security that Beth and her kids were craving. But when she uncovers a dangerous secret about her new husband, Beth realizes he will go to any lengths - even murder - to keep it. After barely escaping with her life, she and her children flee. They eventually make their way to a secluded estate in the Pennsylvania countryside, where Beth dares to hope she has found a safe place at last....
Forced into retirement by an unexpected injury, Philadelphia homicide detective Jack O’Malley is mourning the loss of his career when his uncle abruptly dies, leaving Jack to dispose of his crumbling country house. Unbeknownst to him, his uncle engaged a caretaker just before his death, a mysterious woman with two children and a beautiful face that haunts his dreams. Determined to know her, Jack begins an investigation into Beth’s past. When he uncovers the shocking truth, and a local woman is viciously murdered, Jack puts his own life on the line to keep Beth and her children safe.
A 2012 International Thriller Award nominee for Best First Novel, She Can Run is a sexy, satisfying debut from award-winning author Melinda Leigh, packed with enough suspense and romance to get even the tamest heart racing!

Hard to embrace
I cannot relate with the characters in this novel on a personal level and the writing does not draw me into empathise with them either. I persevered for 20 chapters and realised that I don't care about their daily lives, the intrigue is not intriguing and the back story is being dragged out for so long that, I no longer care how anything is resolved.
There appears to be 3 plot lines, but not 1 or them can hold my interest. I'm new to this author, but have read 3 other books of hers - the Scarlett Falls series - which I thoroughly enjoyed. I find it hard to believe that they were penned by the same person. Those other characters were far stronger, approachable and endearing.
Fortunately for me, I was able to listen to this because of my Kindle Unlimited subscription, so I don't feel cheated in any way. I will try other books by this author, but I doubt that I will continue with this series.

Too much sex
Good story but the graphic description of the sex was overdone. Perhaps leaving a little more to the imagination would have improved this book.

Good story but...
This story was engaging and the characters interesting and built to a faced paced ending. I wish I had read it however, as the narrator read the story in a simpering monotone that took away from the story rather than adding i it . In real life I’m sure the lady’s voice is perfectly lovely but I would not choose to listen to her read another book as it was oddly flat and breathy at the same time.

Avoid
This book is terrible. I stopped reading it. The dialogue and situations are improbable at best. it's hard to believe a woman fleeing an abusive relationship with her 2 children would move them into a house with a man she didn't know, but it's ridiculous that within a week the abused woman was so horny for the strange man that she wanted to move because she couldn't control her libido. all without having received any kind of counselling for the abuse. the author did nothing to build any kind of romance between them, apart from them both noticing how hot the others body is. which made the main characters look like horny high schoolers. her mother's intuition needs tuning up!
phrases such as "erotic as hell" and grammar such as "broken piece of glass" are just awkward. Don't waste your time, there are better books out there.

Oh so predictable
I was disappointed by this book, having enjoyed others by the same author. It was clear from the start what the underlying plot lines would be. I had the killer from the first time they appeared, and guessed pretty much how it would play out. And there was far too much sexualised narrative - sometimes, 'less really is more'!

a little too 1950s
If this book wasn’t for you, who do you think might enjoy it more?
The books portrays a world full of accepted misogyny and homophobia. It feels very 1960s in many ways.
Has She Can Run put you off other books in this genre?
yes
Who might you have cast as narrator instead of Amy Rubinate?
n/a
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from She Can Run?
It is not the scenes - it is the casual misogyny and homophobia I object to

Loved this book!!
Brilliant characters. Great storyline. Great narration. I was surprised with the ‘graphic’ content but I guess it did fit with the storyline and Beth’s return to a ‘normal’ life! 🤣

Easy listening
I picked this book up in the £2.99 sale so I was never going to be disappointed. The story wasn’t really anything new and I knew what was coming next but it was enjoyable and saw me through many hours of housework and exercise. My only criticism was the narration which didn’t have sufficient pauses between situations suggesting that the narrator hadn’t really studied the book ahead of recording. This meant that I had to rewind on quite a few occasions to fully understand what was going on. Overall it was enjoyable though.
