Yikes. I want to say that I hated this trashy excuse for a crime thriller, but I can't. As cheesy as this book is, the story and its characters are actually pretty solid. I tore through this book and it sure had me stressin' at times. It's not a deep dive as far as crime thrillers go, but I appreciated it.

Former disgraced FBI Special Agent Ryan MacBride and rookie agent with a frightening past Vivian Grace become unlikely partners as an unknown suspect terrorizes a city in this romantic thriller. Steamier than Nora Noberts, this pageturner had a suspenseful, tension filled mystery that kept me engaged to the very end. I'll look for more of this author in the future.

I forgot how easy thrillers were to read. Even if some tropes get a little exhausting to re-read it's still enjoyable.

My friend Rachel is like me in that she likes to tell people what to read. This was one of her suggestions.
I really liked this book because while it could have been cheesy since it's part mystery and part romance it isn't like the Harlequin book it could have turned into.
The relationship between Grace and McBride doesn't have that overly romantic dribble that makes a lot of romances feel forced and fake. The mystery wasn't overly simple and the story behind the crimes had depth. It didn't feel like the mystery was thrown in to put the main characters together for the sake of creating a crappy and sappy easy romance.
It was smarter than the average beach read romantic mystery with a bit of steamy thrown in.
