+ BOUGHT/ BOOK REVIEW- Special Agent Hunter (Undercover FBI Book 10) by Mimi Barbour

 

Detective Cora Taylor isn’t expecting the cop who’d haunted her dreams for ten years to return and find her drunk, wearing a torn wedding dress, and surrounded by tiny, white puppies. Go figure her rotten luck. The last time they’d met, she’d been a sweet-looking rookie too fearful to shoot a killer who ended up later murdering a family of four. Guilt from that night changed her into a speed demon, a hardened detective with colorful language… in fact a whole new persona. One who wears too much makeup, bleaches her short messy hair, and has developed many professional skills that earn everyone’s respect.

Agent Kal Hunter remains flummoxed by the altered vision of the pony-tailed rookie he remembers as the sexy woman he sees today. Being OCD about most things in his world this unconventional female rings his bell constantly. Besides his need to have her assistance in stopping the ten-year-old, cold-case killer who’s again on a rampage, there is something about her he can’t resist. She’s her own boss, a cop who has no illusions. Yet when her shell is penetrated, there’s sweetness that rips a man to pieces. He has only one worry. When they meet up with the savage killer this time, will… can she take the shot?

5 STAR

A very unique story.   Starting with the very interesting main characters.  The first time that Cora and Kal meet back up is just as hilarious as the book information claims.  Although the reason that she is in that state is more serious.  As time goes on, it was easy to see why people adored Cora.  The tough detective with a heart as big as the sky when she needed to show it.  No wonder people would go out of their way for her.

Now, Kal took me a bit of time to warm up to.  Because his OCD ways made him fussy I wasn't sure about him.  And how in the world could wild Cora and fussy Kal work together as partners?  Partners in any way.  Kooky, Sam shows up and won't leave Kal alone even though Kal never wanted a dog.  But in this he really doesn't have a choice, Sam has adopted him and won't let go. 

He gave me many pages of enjoyment.  And so did the little fluffy puppy that decided that Cora was her person.  Cora really didn't have any idea how many people cared about her with such a passion.  Well, she knew her mother did and she did what she could to ease her mother's worry about her job.

Plenty of emotion, action, mysteries and that darn 10 year old case, that is cropping up again.  There is a startling discovery about what's going on with that.  With a dramatic ending and a H.E.A for Cora and Kal wrapping things up.   Oh, and finally a sweet, meaningful name for that puppy.
