Review: not the romance I expected, but worthwhile as a thriller

This is a solid story, but there were quite a few distracting typos throughout the book. I would consider this a thriller instead of a romance, because the love stories definitely take a backseat to the cops' pursuit of the serial rapist/killer. (Although there is clear empathy for the victims throughout, the crime details can be disturbing.) On the other hand, a lot of the cops' repartee was clever and entertaining, especially in the beginning. ROLL THE DICE works as a standalone, but I do wish I had read PARTNERS first. It sounds lighter than this story, and I'd like to learn more about how Aurora and Debbie's friendship (so refreshing and fun!) developed. I might not have chosen ROLL THE DICE if I'd known how dark it could get at times, but I am curious to see what will become of these characters in the future.
