The characters weren't even developed yet they were fixated on one another. The heroine was pathetic in her adoration of this hero. I was very disappointed and couldn't even finish this book.
Summary:
Alice took down a brutal human trafficker and now is terrified of becoming a victim. Because of this she survives off her instincts and hiding from her past. Detective Reese has other plans for Alice. He wants to figure her out and learn more about her. He's determined to get to the bottom of all her secrets. Unfortunately, the two of them get in a little deeper than either one of them expected. It seems things get a little hot and heavy when corruption and possibly death is on the line.
My thoughts:
Lori Foster has a style that is all her own and I've been a fan for a very long time. She's spicy, mysterious, and funny. I've never been bored reading one of her stories. The characters are always described enough that they have distinct personalities, the romance is always intriguing enough to make me want them to end up together, and the mysteries usually keep me guessing and rooting for the main characters. This is a classic Foster and fans like me are not going to be disappointed.
