BOOK SYNOPSIS:
When FBI agent Grayson Kincaid first encounters Olivia MacKenzie, she makes quite an impression. The beautiful, tough, young attorney has stumbled into the middle of an FBI sting operation and has reduced it to chaos. Months of surveillance and careful planning down the drain, Kincaid’s partner is furious and lets Olivia know that she’s ticked off the wrong guy. After all, he’s FBI. Olivia isn’t intimidated by his partner’s bullying because she’s something even scarier…she’s IRS. And working for the IRS isn’t for the faint of heart. She’s on the trail of an elaborate Ponzi scheme, one that threatens to ruin the lives of naive and unsuspecting victims, and one she has personal reasons to be angry about. But after she asks questions of the wrong people, her life is suddenly endangered. She’s accustomed to fighting for the underdog but being vulnerable herself is a very different story. Smart enough to know when to call for reinforcements, she contacts Grayson Kincaid. Together they make an excellent team to fight corruption but Olivia is also fighting the immediate and intense attraction she feels for Agent Kincaid, and that may be a battle she is bound to lose.
REVIEW:
If Julie Garwood released a new book every day I still do not believe I would get tired of reading her books. I have enjoyed all of Garwood’s works from her romantic suspense to her historicals and this book is no exception. Garwood has a way of pulling you in right from the first paragraph and you never want to leave the world that she has weaved.
I really enjoyed Olivia. She is strong and independent. She has been through a life that most of us cannot even imagine and has come out stronger and wiser for it. I love that she becomes an advocate for what she never had and is willing to do what ever needs to be done to protect “her kids” and yet her greatest indulgences are popsicles and a little white dress. Grayson is perfect. He is sexy, protective and even cooks and cleans up. What more could a woman want in a man? I enjoyed the secondary characters as well. I hope Garwood has ideas for books for these characters (Do I see a Collins/Ronan book in the works? hint hint) and I can’t wait to read about Samantha and Jane as well. And Henry, adorable Henry, can he just morph into a 25 year old so we can read his story too?
Garwood is one of my favorite authors and this book is right up there with all her others. Garwood has never written a book that is not worth reading and once you start you can not stop reading her books. While I miss the Buchanan series and hope she works back into that group since there are still siblings we need to see married off. I have enjoyed the new works she has had lately just as much as that series. The one thing wrong with this book? It ended and now I have to wait a year (or so) for the next one to come out.
