Continental Divide is a suspenseful read detailing international kidnapping cases. Detective Remington first notices a pattern of young boys being abducted in Phoenix, while his counterpart in London, Inspector Jamie Mainwaring notices the same. A secret Interpol task force is started and the two men begin working together to unravel the mystery. However, tension and wariness between Remington and Jamie might derail that.What I liked about Continental Divide is the gritty realism of the case. Human sex trafficking exists and the determination of the two protagonists to stop it, at any costs, is very gripping. Another good thing about the book is the UST between Jamie and Remington. That was off the charts.However, there were a few things I thought needed some work. While the chemistry between Jamie and Remington was super hot, their continuous fighting and general mistrust of each other grew tiring and felt forced. Second, the bad guys were over-the-top annoying, and were too easily discovered by the detectives. I think the suspense would have been better if that hadn't been revealed so early.For those who hate cliffhangers, then be forewarned, this one ends on a big one. But, don't fear, there are at least two more books coming in this series, so the next one should answer all those dangling plot points.Dark Divas Reviews
