I am pretty impressed with this. I was half afraid it was going to be a cheesy suspense with ridiculous bossom heaving sex, but it turned out to be a pretty good story. I can't say I was on the edge of my seat, but I was entertained.Ana is 21 and she has been busted for attempted murder and robbery. She is given a choice: ten years behind bars or help the police force with undercover sting operations and bring down drug dealers. Naturally, she chooses NARC work. Is it the right choice tho? She proceeds to get verbally abused by her boss, used as a punching bag during gym practice with her fellow Narcs, gets chased by men in suits and shot at and abducted, and risks losing her heart to one of the prime suspects.While trying to find out which dealer is in charge of a major Ecstacy shipment coming to the San Francisco streets, Ana gets more trouble than she bargained for. Besides lots of sexual tension between her and one of the prime suspects, she faces 5 years in prison if she fails. Can she get to the bottom of ecstacy shipment and keep the man and/or her heart should she choose?I like the fact that this book isn't just action and sex, but also touches on some personal issues. Ana grew up an orphan and as a result has made herself tough and pushes people away. She also faces a lot of inner turmoil being half Mexican, half caucasian. She feels unaccepted in both worlds and wonders where she belongs.Really cool, gutsy heroine. It was a bit predictable, but a fun read nevertheless.
