Review: Can't wait to read Book 3!

Although this book can be a stand alone, I would recommend reading the first book in the series, Big Girls Don't Cry.  You will get the story of how Jake and Lexie meet and more of their background.  I loved Big Girls Don't Cry, so was anxious to read this book and it didn't disappoint.  In Big Girls Don't Cry, Lexie and Jake take on drug trafficking.  In the second book, In The Still of The Night, they take on human trafficking.  Meeting Lexie in book 1 made me want to run out and take karate.  She's a strong female character who can kick the crap out of men three times her size, but she still has issues that carry on to the end of book 2.  I had to remind myself of her background from book 1 when she started to irritate me, and she only irritated me because I absolutely love Jake. I'm hoping in book 3 she learns to let go and let Jake take care of her. Of course what suspenseful romance doesn't have sexy, mercenary type men.  This one has Jake, who loves Lexie with everything he has.  His partner, Brady, loves her like a sister.  The bond these three have is amazing to read about.  The dialogue during the intimate scenes with Lexie and Jake went in and out of character for me. I love the Jake that took charge and dominated her, but not so much when he was overly anxious.  I can't wait to read book 3 and, without giving any spoilers, I'll just say I hope Jake gets both of his wishes.
