Rio is an FBI agent, a member of the Financial and Violent Crimes division (FVC). She and her parter, Eddie, are attracted to each other. And someone is threatening her life.This is the sequel to "Broken Wings" and, if I didn't know any better, I'd wonder if the main character was a different person. Yes, there's this blurb in the beginning saying she's been forced to forget her soul connection by the powers that be, but now she's clueless and helpless. Unfortunately, all of her coworkers at the FBI seem to be inept as well. I mean, Rio can go deep undercover to trap a mobster on a case that took years to develop, yet she and her colleagues can't handle one little stalker? And they break procedure numerous times regarding the threatening letters. Any civilian friend or relative who interrupted or threatened an undercover operation would be in big trouble, possibly arrested for interfering with police procedure, and the agent involved would be censured and maybe even fired. In her previous work you can tell the author did some background work. This thing is full of more holes than Swiss cheese.Dialogue and romantic development has also taken a serious nosedive. Propositioning the love interest by saying, "Oh baby....Let me help you. Let me ease your pain"? Oh, please let me not read another nauseating cliche! There are several places where scene transition is rough or illogical, grammar errors are more egregious, and, to top it off, the author rewrote the main character's history. I really hope this was ghost written because otherwise it means that this was produced as a quick money-making followup to the first book and I fell for it.
