I lived in Vanuatu, South Pacific, for 9 years and loved setting my book there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Blurb: <\/strong>Kelly normally needs no help solving international security problems, but when someone from her past damages her reputation and threatens her life, she needs assistance. Joining forces with her old friend from the Australian army, now an expert on South Pacific politics, they destroy an island drug cartel and rescue kidnapped teenagers. <a href=\"https:\/\/books2read.com\/SuziLoveKellysJustice\">https:\/\/books2read.com\/SuziLoveKellysJustice<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Excerpt<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kelly and Grant had guessed correctly that the other three kidnappers had no weapons because as soon a bullet was fired they turned and bolted around the shed, one on the left and two on the right. They sprinted towards them, but no-telephone-man quickly re-emerged through the shed door holding a weapon.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kelly made a lightning change of direction and came at him from the side with a solid round house kick which knocked the rifle from his hands and the gun flew up into the air. She followed up with a chop to his neck, a knee to his groin and finished him off with a two-handed blow to his head. The man went down in a heap, screaming in pain, presumably from a burst ear drum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jacky\u2019s voice called from one hundred meters down the road where she and Terry were closing in at a fast pace. \u201cWe\u2019ve got this. Go after the runners.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kelly shot around the right of the buildings and sprinted after the two unarmed men who had crazily trampled their way through the undergrowth, giving her a clear path to follow them. She mentally thanked Marci and her grueling fitness course, because the long hours they\u2019d all put in scrambling over and under obstacles and working out in the gym had honed her fitness so she wasn\u2019t even puffing when she came up behind the pair of runaways. When she caught them up, they used their least bit of energy to try to run ahead with a desperate burst of speed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kelly kicked the feet out from the slower of the two and he hit the ground face down and slid, squalling like a baby as branches stripped skin from his face and ripped his clothing. When she lifted her foot to the side of his head, he squealed like a pig and covered his bleeding head with his arms. Quick as a flash, she took the chance to grab his arms and zip tie his hands behind his head. Planting her foot in the small of his back, she yelled, \u201cStay down or I\u2019ll shoot.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The quaking man might not have understood the language she spoke, but he sure as hell understood her gun digging into his temple and her finger pointing at the ground. The idiot frantically nodded, chanting something in his own language while his sobs increased and his chants became wails. He sounded like a two year old having a temper tantrum. Huh, not a trained operative then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jacky would only need to follow the wailing to find this one. Kelly took off again through the scrub, but the faster man had been so panicked he\u2019d plowed through bushes and broken branches and left her an open trail to follow. She jumped broken bushes, weaved in and out of the dense scrub and sighted her prey just ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cStop or I\u2019ll shoot,\u201d she screamed in every language she knew. He fleetingly turned a frightened face to her, but then raced off again. \u201cShit,\u201d she muttered, raising her pistol. They\u2019d all practiced firing on the run at the compound, over and over. Even though it wasn\u2019t Kelly\u2019s best skill, Marci\u2019s insistence on them being at least proficient at armed pursuit proved a blessing. She lifted her arm and fired. The guy screamed and fell to the ground, clutching his right leg as blood poured from his knee. Even with one leg out of action, he tried to shuffle backwards towards the scrub.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kelly stood over him, her weapon now aimed at his groin, when Grant came rushing up. Bending over, hands to his knees, he sucked in some deep breaths.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cChrist, Kelly.\u201d He struggled to catch his breath. \u201cI heard the shot and thought it was you.\u201d Ignoring the man groaning on the ground, he pulled her in for a hug, despite them both wearing bullet proof vests and layered clothing. \u201cI swear my heart stopped,\u201d he muttered onto the top of her head. The wounded man writhed on the ground, grasping his bent leg and moaning loudly. \u201cWow, Kel, good shooting there. Got his knee from behind while he was running.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYeah, well,\u201d Kelly muttered. \u201cMarci, my boss, won\u2019t be happy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cReally?\u201d Grant held her away from him but kept his hands on her upper arms. \u201cWhy the hell not?\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBecause we trained hard for this, and I have one of the best hit rates.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSo?\u201d Grant said, looking puzzled.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI was aiming for his lower leg, not his knee.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Grant burst out laughing. \u201cThen don\u2019t tell her. Our secret.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n<span class='bctt-click-to-tweet'><span class='bctt-ctt-text'><a href='https:\/\/x.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.suzilove.com%2F%3Fp%3D37788&#038;text=Book%20Hooks%3A%20%E2%80%9CStop%20or%20I%E2%80%99ll%20shoot%2C%E2%80%9D%20Kelly%20screamed%20in%20every%20language%20she%20knew.%20%23MilitarySuspense%20%23ContemporaryRomance%20%23kellysjustice%20%23SouthPacific%20%23Vanuatu%20https%3A%2F%2Fbooks2read.com%2FSuziLoveKellysJustice&#038;via=SuziLove&#038;related=SuziLove' target='_blank'rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Book Hooks: \u201cStop or I\u2019ll shoot,\u201d Kelly screamed in every language she knew. #MilitarySuspense #ContemporaryRomance #kellysjustice #SouthPacific #Vanuatu https:\/\/books2read.com\/SuziLoveKellysJustice <\/a><\/span><a href='https:\/\/x.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.suzilove.com%2F%3Fp%3D37788&#038;text=Book%20Hooks%3A%20%E2%80%9CStop%20or%20I%E2%80%99ll%20shoot%2C%E2%80%9D%20Kelly%20screamed%20in%20every%20language%20she%20knew.%20%23MilitarySuspense%20%23ContemporaryRomance%20%23kellysjustice%20%23SouthPacific%20%23Vanuatu%20https%3A%2F%2Fbooks2read.com%2FSuziLoveKellysJustice&#038;via=SuziLove&#038;related=SuziLove' target='_blank' class='bctt-ctt-btn'rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Share on X<\/a><\/span>\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>&lt;iframe class=\"airtable-embed\" src=\"https:\/\/airtable.com\/embed\/appvKrW9skkDjJe1n\/shrqsbVq9LOioYMUD?viewControls=on\" frameborder=\"0\" onmousewheel=\"\" width=\"100%\" height=\"1200\" style=\"background: transparent; border: 1px solid #ccc;\"&gt;&lt;\/iframe&gt;<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Book Hooks: \u201cStop or I\u2019ll shoot,\u201d Kelly screamed in every language she knew. #MilitarySuspense #ContemporaryRomance #kellysjustice #SouthPacific #Vanuatu https:\/\/books2read.com\/SuziLoveKellysJustice<\/p>\n <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/?p=37788\"><span class=\"more-msg\">Continue reading &rarr;<\/span><\/a>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[576,1195,1169,1096,1091,495],"tags":[1023,920,1119,1097,551,552,1093,1092],"class_list":["post-37788","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-australia","category-book-hooks","category-contemporary","category-kellys-justice","category-south-pacific","category-suzi-love-books","tag-australia","tag-contemporary-romance","tag-international-crime","tag-kellys-justice","tag-military-romance","tag-mystery","tag-south-pacific","tag-vanuatu"],"featured_image_src":null,"author_info":{"display_name":"Suzi Love","author_link":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/?author=1"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 -

I now live in a sunny part of Australia after spending many years in developing countries in the South Pacific.

My books range from sexy to erotic, late 1700s to the mid 1800s, and with a dash of Australia thrown into the mix. My heroes and heroines challenge tradition and my stories often expose the seamier levels of life. I now live in a sunny part of Australia after spending many years in developing countries in the South Pacific. My greatest loves are traveling, anywhere and everywhere, meeting crazy characters, and visiting the Australian outback. I hope my books bring history alive and you have fun adventuring with my roguish heroes and feisty heroines.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.suzilove.com","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/profile.php?id=1795828726","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/suzi_love_oz\/","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/suziloveauthor","https:\/\/www.pinterest.com.au\/suziloveoz","https:\/\/x.com\/SuziLove","https:\/\/www.tumblr.com\/blog\/suziloveuniverse"],"url":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/?author=1"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37788","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=37788"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37788\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":37794,"href":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37788\/revisions\/37794"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=37788"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=37788"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=37788"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
