The disappearance of a local girl leads Special Agent Graham Grassi right to the doorstep of the sexy redhead that has haunted him since they were part of a thwarted hijacking last week.
Questioning Mickey O’Shay cuts through him as he informs her about her missing goddaughter, one of the girls involved in his investigation. He wants to keep her safe, but she won’t sit on the sidelines. The life of her goddaughter is in jeopardy and Mickey’s determination has him ready to handcuff her—or kiss her—in place. As time runs out though, the stakes run higher. They both struggle to ignore their attraction as they try to unravel a web of deception– before it’s too late.
Review: What started off as a plane high jacking turned into a trafficking ring was a little different; for me a bit confusing in the first two chapters. I wasn’t sure where we were headed. But I soon understood and really enjoyed the story.
The dialogue between Graham and Mickey was very realistic and steady to where you didn’t miss a beat. They were spot on. The chemistry was there right from the time they met on the plane. You could tell that there was a live spark. The characters were both strong when needed and vulnerable when needed. Mickey was portrayed as a strong women yet when she fell apart she showed the strength of a strong women but also the need to have someone to lean on. The perfect embodiment of what a woman is.
I really enjoyed the adventure of the story along with the entertainment value of the story. It was a bit overwhelming at times with the basis of the storyline. What with the kidnapping young girls. It was a hard subject to deal with at times but Ms. Haas wrote it with a lot of empathy so that it was easy to deal with. She put it out there that this was a problem but wrote it with a gentleness that made it easier to deal with.
Graham and Mickey were always a step behind so you knew that finding everyone and righting the wrong was inevitable.
Along with well thought out characters the background and descriptions were easy to visualize. I enjoyed this story from beginning to end. It kept me guessing while keeping me entertained.
