A Colombian crime lord gives Eve an offer she can't turn down; help him by doing a reconstruction, & he'll help her find out what happened to Bonnie; an offer he goes to great length to prove he can fulfill.

I liked the book because they made the crime lord more than just a 2-bit criminal. He had depth, & morals & ethics. He may have been in a nasty business, but as they wind up with a common foe, he becomes neither black nor white, but another shade of gray that you find in life.

The only thing I didn't like was Joe's attitude in this book. Usually, I love how he supports her & is so into her. In this book, it seemed like he put his ego before everything else, & his heavy-handed demands were a real turn-off. Eve was aware of what she was risking, but she'd weighed it against the rewards, & deemed it worthwhile. Joe's threats to knock her out & force her back home where he could sit on her just smacked of too-controlling, too high-handed...& instead of putting him in a time-out zone, she was empathizing with his feelings. Fans of their romance & of Joe's heroic actions may be more willing to give him extra rope, but I personally was really disappointed in him in this book.

Overall, it's a book I'm glad I took the time to read, &, it hints that the crime lord will make an appearance in further stories, so...I think I'll continue reading.
