The Last Shot

All of the books in Amy Matayo's Love in Chaos series are interrelated. In The Last Shot, the third book in the series, Teddy Hayes takes center stage, if you will. We get to see him as a person, not just as a pretty-boy famous country singer.

The book opens with a shooter at Teddy's concert, and he finds himself taking cover under the stage walkway with Jane, a security guard working the event. The setting is one relevant to current events and the world we live in, and as the story unfolds, it's clear that when you really don't know whether you'll survive the night, you can get pretty close to someone pretty fast. Teddy and Jane both carry their own past hurts that have long been too tender to share. Now, they find themselves trying to survive a horrific event. And what comes after that? Can they learn to live with those newly inflicted wounds and go on living?

Ms. Matayo has, once again, crafted a story that grabs the reader with its tension and raw emotion. Here, she's written a scenario that is absolutely believable given the world in which we live. We see that there's more to Teddy than just being a celebrity, and that Jane isn't just a tough, take-charge security guard. I enjoyed seeing their relationship develop.

If you're looking for a good, clean read with lots of suspense, pick up The Last Shot. It's well worth the read.
