Third in the Line of Duty series (after Sure Bet #1263 and Hidden Agenda #1269). I enjoyed this one. The characters were well-developed and believable, and the plot carefully constructed. The only thing that kept this one from being an all out 4/5 was that the ending seemed rushed…but overall, this was a really good read. I’ll definitely be on the lookout for the other books in this series.
My rating: 3.5/5
From the back cover:
“Haunted by desire…
“To: Sergeant Grace McCall-Fox
“From: Police Chief Berry
“The only daughter of our most powerful senator has recently been murderd and her newborn child kidnapped. You and FBI special agent Mark Santini will pose as a childless couple desperate to adopt and bring the suspect into custody—before another murder occurs.
“I realize you and Mark have a past together and that this could complicate the assignment. It is imperative that you keep up the façade of happily married lovers at all times, but be careful not to let desire cloud your senses. Close quarters could lead to shared passion and searing attraction—and greater risk to your lives.”
re: Maggie Price's The Cradle Will Fall
Sounds like a good one, aside from the ending. The plot description is definitely intriguing...I have to admit I enjoy a well done "pretend you're married for the case" story.
I really enjoyed Maggie Price's Bombshell (Trigger Effect?) and I think I have one of her SRSs around here that I haven't read yet.
Well...
The ending wasn't bad, but it wasn't as descriptive as the first 3/4 of the book (hence, the rushed feeling).
I'm a sucker for cop stories, and especially the "let's pretend we're together" thing, too. I think it's the whole inevitability thing.
