The series about Finley Anderson Tanner is now my favorite! This was so entertaining, so girly-girl, and feisty! If you like Stephanie Plum in Janet Evanovich's books, you will love Finley. The fashion name dropping, the girlfriend lunches out, the work environment, and the hot descriptions of her boyfriends keep this book very alive! Loved it.

An important thing you need to know about me when it comes to reading is I dont read very fast and am not like some of my book buddies out there (you know who you are) that read hundreds of books a year. The next thing you need to know about me is I read this book in 2 DAYS!!! I could not put this book down, literally. Youre probably saying youre kidding. I kid you not. Everywhere I went, I had this book with me reading, watching television, making dinner, sitting on the toiletthis was not one of those stories that I would pick up and read a paragraph or a page and be able to put it down. This book made me miss my program, burn dinner and cause pins and needles in my legs from lack of circulation! But it was so worth it!
When we first meet Finley, she is working as a paralegal for a firm handling estates and trusts. She gets pulled into a murder case when she inherits a client whose husband died and the client is convinced it wasnt an accident. The client is very overbearing but Finley begins to look into her husbands case. Finley isnt your stereotypical airhead and she quickly learns that things about her clients husbands death arent adding up.
I really liked Finley. Shes not afraid of getting a little dirty and even receiving death threats dont deter her from digging. Not having any murder investigation background at all, she manages to put her paralegal education to good use and begins researching. I was impressed at how tenacious she was since the client was a real pill.
Liam McGarrity is everything Finleys not. Hes a former police officer who is carrying some secrets and it will be interesting to see how long before he opens up. Finley is convinced he has a wife, possibly an ex wife, that he is still sleeping with so I expect she will be digging into that scenario at some point.
Theres major attraction chemistry going on with Finley and Liam. Im looking forward to seeing where that goes. Finley has a very difficult mother and their relationship is tense at best so I am curious to see how Finley responds to her mothers criticism. Finley is in a relationship that the reader understands very explicitly is not the exciting love fest that Finley craves. It will be interesting to see if Finley stays with him in the second book. I have to admire Finley that though her relationship isnt what she is hoping for and she is feeling major attraction vibes for Liam, Finley doesnt jump into bed with him. Im strongly hoping that the relationship issue gets resolved soon because Liam is yummy.
The plot moves forward at a great pace and the identity of the killer came as a surprise but not a shock. This is a great start to what I hope will be a very entertaining series. I am looking forward to seeing what Finley gets into next.
