3.5 stars! Another well written mystery/romantic suspense from talented Ms. Coulter. I do love her books. They are a nice length with a well developed plot and sexy characters. For those who love Eve and Roarke from Ms. Robbs, Savich and Sherlock are just as good. Ms. Coulter's writing style is smooth and easy to follow. She does jump around in point of views more than I thought she would. Fortunately, it isn't too disorienting. It does give the reader insight into the character's motive. It's fascinating how Ms. Coulter always blends two different stories so well together. I like this about the FBI Thriller series. It makes me feel like I'm receiving more bang for my buck. For some it may be disorienting because they aren't sure who the main characters in this book.
I like this style of writing because Savich and Sherlock are the main characters as a series overall. With the focus on two new characters for each book, it allows this series to stay nice and fresh. In this one, it's Natalie Black, her daughter and Davis. At first I thought this may be a smexy cougar story. The direction it did go from a romantic perspective is good. The conflicts in this story are good too. They don't feel forced.
What I did feel in this book is extreme disgust for politics. I'm already not fond of it. Reading about how easily people abuse their power just pisses me off. Is the ending a great surprise? Not really. Ms. Coulter does a great job of providing a few red herrings and then resolving all the threads to this story. The journey she takes the reader is well built with twists and turns. Recommended for romance readers who enjoy being a bit out of the box.
