IN NANCY GIDEON'S SEDUCTIVE NEW NOVEL, A TOUGH-AS-NAILS NEW ORLEANS COP MUST CHOOSE BETWEEN THE CAREER SHE'S DEDICATED TO AND THE DANGEROUS SHAPE-SHIFTING LOVER SHE CAN'T RESIST. SHE'S SLEEPING WITH THE ENEMY. Mixing business with pleasure gets more complicated for Detective Charlotte Caissie when her sexy preternatural lover, Max Savoie, is accused of a high-profile murder. To prove him innocent she must distance herself, but her tangled emotions don't make it easy for her to stay away from him. And neither does Max. HE'S DESPERATE TO UNCOVER HIS PAST. Left in charge of a criminal empire and protector of a clan of shadowy shape-shifters, Max walks a precarious line. Can he believe the cunning stranger who claims he can teach Max the things he needs to know to stay alive? A con man who would betray anyone to make a profit, who may be a ruthless killer? TOGETHER, THEY'RE TEMPTING FATE. The harder Cee Cee fights to clear Max's name, the more he pushes her away. He's protecting a dark truth that could blow the top off her investigation. And that means hiding his motives and lying to a woman who values truth above all. The woman who can save him . . . if he'll let her. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |

The romance between Detective Charlotte “Cee Cee” Caissie and newly minted crime boss, Max Lavoie, is progressing at a natural pace (that is to say all hot and heavy), when Max becomes the prime suspect in a series of murders targeting those closest to a local politician. In order to maintain her objectivity, Charlotte must distance herself from Max, but work behind the scenes to clear his name. Unfortunately, Max has dark secrets that are not helping the situation…
The story is enjoyable despite my problems with Charlotte running first hot then cold. She is obviously not as emotionally invested in the relationship as Max although she does seem to be getting there slowly. In terms of Max’s characterization, the dominant/submissive inconsistency persists and I hope that it is resolved soon as it undermines his alpha hero status.
A certain amount of suspension of disbelief is required with the plot as there is a clear conflict of interest in Charlotte’s ongoing connection with Max. That said, the investigation is good and the revelation of the villain (although unsurprising) is exciting. The overall story arc is developing in an interesting direction with more details on Max's past, which may have far reaching consequences on his future.
The secondary characters are starting to grow on me as well. I was naughty and took a peek at the blurbs for future books, and it looks like the series switches from focusing on Max and Charlotte to other couples from book #5 onwards. I probably continue at least until then, especially since I’m a sucker for a global conspiracy. (
