Wow. I fell in love with this author's voice on the first page. I love the world she created, the characters, the difficulties she put them in. There was terrific banter, yummy sexual tension and great suspense. Even though I hadn't read the first book, I had no trouble jumping into this book. In fact, I'm going back to read the first book, and I'll read the next. Don't miss the smart funny writing in this great book!
