Series:
Price Security (Book 4)
A DEA agent has one goal in mind…
And getting personal could be deadly
Lee Oscar has convinced herself she can keep her past in
the past until an old friend tells her that a student of his has disappeared.
Lee launches a search for the missing teen, colliding with DEA agent Aaron
Quentin's investigation. Together they forge an impromptu partnership -- and
make a fake relationship their cover. Lee and Aaron are determined to rescue
the girl in danger while bringing down a deadly crime syndicate. Posing as
lovers without succumbing to the ruse may be the more difficult task.
Terrific book. Aaron Quentin intrigued me during his part
in the earlier book, Safe in Her Bodyguard's Arms. I figured out early that he
was one of the good guys and hoped he would get his own story. As with his
brother, the tragedy in Aaron's past influenced his present. He uses his work
as an undercover agent to keep people at a distance. He moved from Florida to
California to infiltrate a drug cartel.
Lee is Price Security's computer and information guru. She
works her magic from behind a computer in their offices. But when a friend from
her past asks her for help finding a missing teen, Lee steps out of her comfort
zone to search for her. The last thing she expected was to encounter Aaron and
end up part of his cover as his girlfriend.
This book had me hooked from the get-go. The suspense is
intense with the dual storylines of Aaron's mission of taking down the cartel
leader and Lee's search for the missing teen. Matters become more complicated
when an old adversary of Lee's turns up in Aaron's net. An unexpected twist leads
to a possible link between the two cases and intensifying danger for both. The
double-barreled ending was a nail-biter to the finish.
I enjoyed the development of Aaron and Lee's
relationship. There were sparks between them when they met in Miami. Aaron
tried flirting with her, but she wasn't interested. When they met again in LA,
the sparks were still there, but both tried to ignore them. That becomes more
complicated when Lee gets sucked into Aaron's op and must pretend to be his
girlfriend. Spending time together intensifies the attraction and allows them
to get to know each other. I loved how
in tune Aaron was with Lee and how good he was at sensing when she needed him. I
liked seeing them both lose some of their "lone wolf" attitudes and
discover they could support each other without losing independence. It didn't
take long for their fake relationship to start to feel real. Neither believes
they are good at relationships, and I loved seeing their determination to find
one that works for them.
