From the get go you catch your breath...and hold it. Tessa is kidnapped, Kris (hot hero) has to maintain his front as one of the bad guys, when in fact he's a law enforcement agent who's had to embrace violence and criminal activity for years, as part of his cover.Tessa's confinement is claustrophobic, fraught with threat from other gang members, and Kris has to protect her without blowing his own cover. And if that isn't enough tension, you've got the sexual chemistry between Tessa and Kris constantly bubbling away, with a strong sense of the imminent, that any minute now, the pair are going to jump each other...they can't deny their attraction despite the pressures bearing down on both of them, and when they do jump...wowzer!The plot isn't unduly complex, but to convince, it necessitates Tessa and Kris spending time apart. For a reader heavily into the romance element, this could jar. However, the dynamic between this pair when they are together, more than compensates for this.Two great characters, a fierce plot and a romance that sparks...Ms Roberts pulls off a story that is rich in atmosphere and gets the heart pumping.
