Inspectors Eli Miller and Inspector Rebecca 'Bex' Mulcahy have worked together as partners for Witness Protection, for some time now. He knows what its like to have "loved and lost" but Bex is so toughened she's not even sure love is even real. They are about to have an encounter with a new witness that will shake everything up. A lot...like in nothing is ever really be the same again! The new witness, Violet, has the same kind of inpact on AR, a junior inspector in the unit. And why not? Violet is larger than life in every way.
I liked this story but would definitely place it under the headline of "AN Adult Read". Its sensual, appealing but for those who need to know, there will be sex. Probably should have guessed that from the cover, right? In the beginning it reminded me a little of the T.V. series "In Plain Sight" one of my favorite series in days gone by. That reminder is probably only because of the WITSEC setting and the snippy personality of Bex. I enjoyed the interactions between Eli and Bex, those were some interesting times. Eli really understood Bex. She even commented on the fact that he took such good care of her, she wasn't used to that from anyone else. Ever. She was one tough cookie and you could clearly see some of the similarities between her and Violet. Eli was a romantic and manage to hide that from others, for awhile. I have to admit when I started reading the first few pages; I thought "Did I get the right book?" If you wonder as well, it's okay, keep reading. His flashbacks of his first love just so fitted into the story and things that were to come. Just wait until you find out the how and why of Violet being in the Witness Protection program, that comes later in the book. I found the timing just right on that.
One comment I almost hesitate to mention and probably no one even noticed. I just wish that the author hadn't used the word "hummed" quite so much. It's just a personal observation; I'm thinking in a few places another word might have worked better.
“I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review”.
