Who knew taking pictures in the park could be so dangerous and life threatening? When wedding photographer Micki Vermillion gets her car windows shot out by a couple of "random" bullets as she's finishing up a job - she turns to the one person who she trusts the most...ex-boyfriend and cop Oz.As Oz investigates the shooting, a subsequence attack on Micki and her apartment all things are pointing to something Micki inadvertently captured on her camera that day in the park.I really enjoyed Kill Shot. It had lots going on. Oz is a great, big alpha male cop who's loved Micki all his life - they grew up together, dated and when she broke up with him, he was broken hearted and never knew really why Micki broke it off, but he's never stopped loving her.Kill Shot is fast paced as the police work to solve the crime which becomes more complicated as a dead body is discovered floating in the lake in Central Park and a high power couple (they reminded me of the Trump's for some reason) seem to be at the center of everything.Oz and Micki fall back into a familiar relationship, but for Micki it brings back a lot of feelings of why she broke up with Oz in the first place. She wants to stand on her own, make a name for herself as a professional photographer and wants to maintain her own identity and make her own decisions. Oz and Micki have a lot to work on since the alpha male has a hard time toning down his protective instincts around Micki. But Oz is determined to make it work with Micki this time around...even if it means giving her a little space.There was a very interesting secondary character Philip Luka who runs his own "extermination business". I wonder if he may get his own story in the future?Mystery, suspense and an endearing love story made Kill Shot an interesting and fast read.
