Amie's 5 STAR REVIEW !!
Well I couldn't put this book down and I was thrilled with these new characters and the story line was full of suspense and hotness and all things CA Harms loves to write about that keep me coming back for more. This story was fast paced and not super long but long enough that I was able to connect , enjoy and be blown away towards the end. SAY WHAT !! I am impatiently waiting for more and yes that means this ends with a bit of a cliffy. Geez the book starts with a cliffy !! The flow was great because you knew where it was going due to the start BUT you had no clue when you would get there and what was going to happen after.
Josh is an FBI agent about to do some serious undercover work. His job is full of danger and suspense and it leaves no shortage of drama. His last night before the case he goes on a double date where the girl is the complete opposite of who she was when they met LOL. It is a funny scene !! We have just met Gabby and she has been made to go out by her roommate, so when she sees hot guy being eyed by scary chick it provides entertainment for her and then entertainment for us when their paths cross at the bar !! Gabby and Josh have this easygoing chemistry that would have tons of potential if they only exchanged phone numbers !!
When their paths cross again their relationship progresses quickly and it feels natural. They have a great chemistry BUT Josh is undercover and his job doesn't allow him to be home a lot or to even be in contact. Can Gabby handle this and can Josh keep work and love separate ?? It isn't easy and just how much can Josh tell without compromising Gabby's safety ?? There are some twists and turns and simple miscommunications that cause drama which leads us to great reading !! I flew through only to be stunned with the ending !!
“I like the red ones,” Josh said before turning back toward the display of lingerie. “Oh, and this color. Is that teal?” He lifted up the pair of panties and held them out before him.
I smiled as a younger guy three feet away ducked his head in embarrassment.
“Now these would look fucking amazing on you. Damn, baby.” Josh’s eyes gleamed in excitement as he looked up at me. “I may go broke if you keep bringing me to places like these.”
I giggled as I grabbed the pink, lacy, and completely see-through nightie he held in his other hand.
“We’ll take one of these in every color you have,” he hollered to the clerk.
I hid my head against his chest and tickled his sides.
“What?” he grunted and tried to pull back from my assault. “You can’t blame me for trying, sweetheart.
Forget about getting dressed daily. I think you should live in these nighties.”
I tilted my head and looked up at him. “You are insatiable.” I rose up on my tiptoes, bringing my lips close to his. “And extremely adorable.”
He closed the distance and kissed me, wrapping his arm around my waist securely. His tongue rolled with mine, and for a moment I forgot we were standing in the center of a department store. Someone cleared their throat, and I broke the kiss to look over my shoulder. An older salesperson was giving us a disapproving glare.
“Sorry,” I offered. When I turned back to face Josh, he was grinning from ear to ear.
“So—” He waggled his eyebrows suggestively. “—we are getting some of these. Right?”
I lifted up the light pink nightie and shook it in front of his face. “We’ll get this one and the red one,” I assured him as I walked toward the sales clerk at the checkout counter. When I looked back over my shoulder, Josh was smiling brightly and following close behind.
“Now that’s my girl. Looks like tonight we’re staying in.”
I rolled my eyes and turned forward again as he chuckled.
