Together Again by Peggy Bird is a spicy, suspenseful romance with a complex and exciting plot. It is a quick, fast-paced read that is difficult to put down. This book is the first I have from this author and it certainly won't be the last.Margo Keyes grew up in Philadelphia. Due to her father's imprisonment, she left the city in a hurry and attended college on the West Coast to escape the scuttlebutt that was encompassing her life. After law school, she moved to Oregon and found success as Portland's Deputy District Attorney. Margo's life is controlled and organized, but she thinks about her "kind of" romantic friend Tony, when she is lonely.Handsome, hot, Philadelphia Detective Tony Alessandro lived next door to the Keyes' family during his childhood. He crushed on his former neighbor Margo for many years. His loving family keeps him grounded, especially when his job of solving crimes takes over his world completely.Due to the timing of an unexpected trip to Philadelphia, as a substitute presenter for her boss at a law enforcement convention, Margo and Tony become reacquainted. Feelings begin to resurface and eventually ignite. The old sparks were just waiting for a little kindling.Margo's plane ride to the East Coast is uneventful, with the exception of a run-in with a passenger. Unbeknownst to Margo, this passenger is involved with murder, the Russian mob and intellectual espionage. Law enforcement agencies on both coasts end up getting involved and Margo is the bait. Tony will do everything in his power to protect her, which is a difficult task because she is so used to her independence and self-reliance.If you are seeking a hot, steamy romance with a bit of intrigue, this one is for you!Reviewed at HarlequinJunkie.com
