#45 – Unlawful Contact by Pamela Clare (Berkley, 2008)

book cover"Journalist Sophie Alton is investigating the disappearance of a young mother named Megan, recently paroled and now running from the law with her baby daughter.  Sophie's search leads her to Megan's brother, Marc, a convicted killer - and the man she shared an unforgettable night with twelve years ago.

Condemned to life in prison, Marc uses Sophie to escape so he can find his sister and protect her from the monster who's pursuing her.  Sophie knows she should fear Marc.  But the heat and hunger of his touch still lingers in her mind - and on her body - after all this time.

Together they will follow a dangerous trail, as people on both sides of the law do everything they can to keep Sophie and Marc from finding Megan - and a shocking truth about the past..."

Rating: Great - 4.5 Stars

This is the third in the "I-Team" series, following Extreme Exposure and Hard Evidence.  The I-team is a group of investigative journalists working for a newspaper in Denver, Colorado.  The books stand alone, however, many of the previous characters do reappear and it is helpful to know their story and their relationship to the main characters.

I really enjoyed this book - it is a fast-paced, edge-of-your-seat suspense - with lots of chemistry and hot scenes.  The adrenaline is definitely pumping!

I didn't...

realize this was connected to two other books.  I'd picked this one up yesterday but I don't think I have the other two! Surprised

You can still read it, Deb...

it's just that the 2 heroines have minor roles in this one and the hero from book 2 has a fairly strong supporting role in this one.  It may not matter to you not knowing their stories.  The author briefly describes the history and, of course, then you'll  know the endings!  I actually had trouble finding one of the books in the UBS - can't remember which one and ended up ordering it from Amazon.  But they are all good.
