| Crystal Lilly has followed the career of detective Marshal Verge in the papers for a long time. She¢s on a case for the government agency she works for when she meets her hero who¢s received a threatening letter. The two join forces in many ways but their lust may go unfulfilled. Crystal was captured, tortured, and brutally molested on a case several years ago that left her physically and emotionally scarred. Marshal helps her cope with her past a little at a time as they pursue villains around the world.
Teresa Thomas crafts a complex story that is full of sensitivity for what Crystal what went through while still giving us dialogue that will often make you laugh out loud. She and Marshal are created as a matched pair when it comes to their wit, intellect, and romantic nature. The author burns up the pages with explicit romance as they find ways around Crystal¢s fears. The bad guys don¢t stand a chance whether the two are working solo or together. Several well penned cases intrigue them as Ms. Thomas builds suspense over and over again with the duo and their friends in pursuit of some really evil criminals. There are times when the secondary characters like Timothy the multi-talented desk clerk or Dr. Campana, the ex-lover turned friend steal the show. This is a multifaceted book that holds my attention throughout. I hope to see more adventures involving these players in the future. The author really knows how to hold my attention whether tugging at my heart strings or making me want to see how they find and catch the culprits involved in many diverse crimes.
