When I’m talking about this book and explaining how it’s written, I like to refer to one of my all-time favorite cops, JD Robb’s Eve Dallas.  Nicola Claire’s heroine, Lara, has just lost her partner, so not only is she dealing with the loss of her mentor, but now she has a case that partners her with an old lover.  You feel Lara’s grief, even as she tries to hide it from everyone, going so far as to talk to her mentor in her mind.  She is a tough cop, but she knows when she can rely on a fellow cop and also the man she gave her heart to once.  There were plot twists galore, some I could see coming and others that snuck up on me, and while Lara is dealing with the two intertwining cases, she’s also falling back into love with Damon, and boy is the love making hot.  This is a great romantic crime thriller, I like seeing the inner workings of Lara’s mind as she thinks through the cases, her interactions with fellow cops and especially one of her informants.It was hard to choose 3 quotes for my review, because I love Nicola’s writing so much.  I’m in awe with how quickly she writes and publishes a new book.  Plus, she has a few different series that are all unique from each other.  If you’ve read her Sweet Seduction series, you’ll recognize a few names in this series, but they are completely separate and not needed to understand this series.
