Washington, D.C., Metro Police Detective Sergeant Sam Holland needs a big win to salvage her career–and her confidence–after a disastrous investigation. The perfect opportunity arises when Senator John O’Connor is found brutally murdered in his bed, and Sam is assigned to the case. Matters get complicated when Sam has to team up with Nick Cappuano, O’Connor’s friend and chief of staff…and the man Sam had a memorable one-night stand with years earlier. Their sexual chemistry still sizzles, and Sam has to fight to stay focused on the case. Sleeping with a material witness is another mistake she can’t afford–especially when the bodies keep piling up.
Review: I loved this book beyond anything I ever expected. It was super fast paced with fantastic secondary characters. The characters were all very lovable and quite funny. I liked how as the reader we are able to see the insights of other characters.
There was a lot of characters introduced in this book but it was very easy to understand. It made the story more well-rounded and gave it more depth. I love the character of Sam Holland, She is full of sass and attitude. Not one to shy away from danger she does her job with ease.
I think that Nick is her perfect match. He is portrayed as tall, dark and handsome but his character is far from falling into a trope. I found him to be very quirky and had his own brand of attitude. He was kind of the nerdy guy that no one knows is very sexual and the one you want to end up with.
I was really excited to find out that the books all follow the same couple rather than a new couple every book. That means that I have 9 more books to read about the antics of Sam and how Nick deals with her near death experiences over and over again.
Marie Force writes characters that don’t take themselves so seriously and are a little bit flawed. I really liked how I was kept guessing and wasn’t able to guess who actually killed the Senator.
