Until she discovers the assistant manager unconscious in the back of the store, coffee grounds strewn everywhere.

Another Great Read!!!
I listened to this book in one reading. I took it with me when I ran errands and when I cleaned up around the house. Ollie and Gav make a great team. The story is fresh and entertaining. I really enjoyed this book.

Engaging Characters - Dumb Plot
While I believe that Julie Hyzy is talented in creating endearing and engaging characters, I find her plots to be rather unbelievable. Good editor desperately needed!!
I love how Ollie, White House executive chef, was written as strong and resourceful - not the type who expected a man to rescue her. However, there has been no mention of her having military or self-defense training, so Ollie's ability to escape a multitude of dangerous situations was unrealistic and eye-roll worthy.
I enjoy the White House setting, but doubt the accuracy of her portrayal of WH employees, the majority of whom seem too immature for the elite positions they hold. Secret Service agents, in particular, were characterized as naïve and unprofessional, which seemed insulting to these dedicated public servants.
Also, an executive chef could afford to take a cab or Uber home late at night. How many time does Ollie have to be attacked on the Metro? I might try another series by this author, but this one is getting boring.
