Publisher's summary

Staying overnight in a luxury hotel, Assistant U.S. Attorney Cameron Lynde overhears a high-profile murder involving a U.S. senator. Special Agent Jack Pallas is assigned to the investigation - the same Jack Pallas who still blames her for nearly ruining his career three years ago. Now the pair will have to put their rocky past behind them, focus on the case at hand - and smother the flame of their sizzling-hot sexual tension.

Refreshingly Good Story and Series!

Yes it has some angst, romance, sex, suspense, over the top bad guy characters and lots of comedic interactions but it all enhanced the story! Too many authors rely on exceedingly repetitive angst or on multiple orgasim until you pass out scenes instead of the weaving a story, Julie does not. Her stories are not short but I don't skip forward to get past 3 - 8 minute angst tirades. I definitely recommend this series and this author.

Wow!

I read Julie James “The Thing About Love” and loved it! I decided to give her earlier works a try and dam, this book did not disappoint. Can’t wait to read/listen to the rest of her books!

Great story with action and passion

Any additional comments?

Honestly, I just loved this book. It wasn't fanciful drivel, there were high stakes, and there was genuine emotion and not the whole "We kissed once and now I'm going to marry him!" stuff that seems to be so prevalent in this genre. The only thing I felt was unbelievable was how long it took her to come clean. I'm definitely a new fan of the series.

Romance with chemestry!

I really liked the chemestry between Cameron and Jack, and the secondary characters were extremely entertaining and added quite a bit to the listening experience. Overall I enjoyed this 1st book of the series and look forward to listening to more from this author.

Amusing and Suspenseful

While mostly amusing and suspenseful, this romance featuring a U.S. Attorney and a FBI agent had one major flaw in my opinion: joking about sexual assault and domestic violence.

From the first chapter when Cameron "overhears" the murder of a prostitute, she ignores the fact that the victim was being beaten before she was strangled. Why wouldn't a female federal prosecutor call the police when she realized a woman was being assaulted?

Although FBI agent Jack was never actually violent toward Cameron, they kept joking about degrading, violent sexual acts as if two law enforcement professionals would NOT understand the devastating effects of rape and physical assault.

The author is very talented with a wonderfully wicked sense of humor so hopefully she stops joking of BDSM (sexual assault and domestic violence) in future books.

Good Book

I enjoyed this book. It is fairly predictable but entertaining with very likable characters. It was a little lightweight but has enough drama and humor to keep it interesting. The narrator is good, maybe a little overdone in the sex scenes but not bad.

Story was decent but it wasn't something that kept

story was decent but it wasn't attention grabbing. some portions we're very predictable. I felt like the reader was trying to 50 Shades of Gray me into the love scenes.
