Sparks fly when a hardboiled reporter meets a handsome senator. But a political scandal - and attempts on her life - could drive them apart. Or maybe adversity could draw them into a bond even more intense than their steamy sexual embraces.

Critic reviews

"A perfect 10 of a gem, Extreme Exposure has all the elements of great romance and is an entertaining summer [listen]." ( Romantic Times)

My First!

This is my first book by this author but won't be my last. I loved the story, the romance and the suspense. I held my breath, laughed out loud and cheered. Great listen.

Wonderful

I completely enjoyed this book. I am truly looking forward to reading more of PC's. I like series books and am curious about the I team.

Great audio of the first book in a fabulous series

If you haven't treated yourself to the best romantic suspense series that I've ever read, you are missing something really special. The I-Team is a group of investigative journalists for an independent Denver, Colorado newspaper. Extreme Exposure is the first book in the series. (Right now there are five books with a sixth due out May 2013). The book is a superb blend on action, suspense, romance and some really red-hot passion. I will NOT post spoilers about the story, but Kara is a talented single mom who works as a journalist, and Reece is a state senator. Their meeting is quite memorable...that is all I'm gonna say about that!

I am an audio book fan and feel it is important to match the book to the narrator. Kaleo Griffith is a relative new-comer in this field and has a great future ahead of him. He is an excellent actor, has a wonderful 'bedroom' voice, his female characters each have distinctive voices, accents and cadence of speech without the reader using a falsetto voice. It is easy to tell one character from another and it was not necessary to replay to figure out who is speaking.

The writing is great and the narration is some of the best I've heard. The audio version of book two in the series - Hard Evidence is due out on November 19th. I am a die-hard fan and cannot wait!

Excellent Narrator, Mediocre Characters

Best part - amazing narration

Worst part - mediocre lead characters Kara and Reece. For a smart newspaper reporter, Kara made some really dumb choices like not getting child support for her 4 year old son, not taking death threats seriously, and not using condoms before getting health tests.

I thought Reece was too rough, arrogant and bossy, not respectful or considerate. He practically raped Kara in a snow bank (cold & windy is so not sexy), and kept saying what he wanted and needed without ever asking Kara what she wanted.

Kara, starved for emotional and physical affection, allowed Reece to barge into her life, taking control and issuing orders. I don't understand the appeal of "alpha males", who often become violent, aggressive and abusive toward women.

Pamela Clare is a talented writer; if she wrote about stronger females and less selfish male characters, her books would be amazing.

Extremely HOT!

I bought this book on sale. I am so glad I did. I love my romances steamy with hot intimacy and a story with non-stop interest. This book had it ALL! Not only did the heroine and hero interact well, they heated up the sheets right on time. I loved the plot and I loved the fact that the heroine would still investigate the love of her life if she thought he was hurting others. What a strong woman. The twist of getting caught at the end of the book was able to be seen from the first page. It just seemed preconceived by the the author in her original outline and even though the characters clearly did not want to go this way, the author made them do it anyway. The other thing I found a little conceived is that the heroine still was able to write her story for the paper even though she became part of the story. Any reporter reading this story will know what I mean. However, I do want to give this book a thumbs up and tell you it is worth the credit. I plan to read the entire series.

Extreme Exposure

I didn’t get very far with this book, so I can’t comment on the story itself as it had barely gotten started. There was just too much sex for my liking. Usually, I can skip the really graphic stuff & get back to the story but this has sexual thoughts & conversation wound thru every aspect of it. The other reviews are positive though, so I’m sure it’s just personal preference. YMMV.

HOT, ROMANTIC, INTRIGUING

OUTSTANDING NARRATOR!!!! The sexy voice of the narrator along with his voice inflections distinguishing character voices helped to make this book a MUST READ!

The story is exciting, super sexy hot and basically I could not stop listening. I enjoy investigative reporter/ politician plots both in real life and fiction. This is definitely a hot thriller.

Well worth a download credit. Can't wait to read the other books in the series.

Investigative Love !!! I want more !

What made the experience of listening to Extreme Exposure the most enjoyable?

Loved the story, the investigation, the fear , just enough passion, and great ending !!
Another series with the drama and passion ....like that there is an actual story behind it.

Which character – as performed by Kaleo Griffith – was your favorite?

Reece Sheridan

Any additional comments?

Narration was ok .....not a real big fan on the male voice trying to do different females, however realistic passion for a realistic couple ! Worth a credit...onto the next book

Politics + Sex + Drama = AWESOME!

Before reading any further----IMMEDIATELY GET THIS BOOK! Wow, this was such a winner! I purchased this awhile back and am kicking myself for waiting so long to listen to it. Initially, I thought this was an erotic romance, but, it packed quite a bit extra that I was not expecting, like, humor, suspense, and a real plot that you can sink your teeth into. This book will keep you on the edge of your seat, get you a little hot under the collar, and make your heart swell just a bit when you least expect it. The plot and characters are pretty realistic, with some added dramatic flare to keep things interesting of course. My interest is peaked to see what happens next.

More research...

Narration needed more research on pronunciation. Estes Park is not pronounced Estees Park. Something strange was concocted with Canon City as well. It's the little things.

Otherwise, good story worth a read/listen.
