Helpful Score: 7
This is the second book I've read by JoAnn Ross and I was as blown away by this one as the first I read. This book really grabs ahold of your attention and keeps the mystery going until the very end. Great book!
Helpful Score: 6
Quick, fast-paced read. Leaned more on the romance than the suspense and took a couple fun turns along the way. JoAnn Ross has become one of my favorite authors over the past year. Nick and Kate are perfect for each other.

An excellant read for anyone who likes suspense and drama. Highly recommend.
The was a great book. Grabs from the very beginning and keeps going.

Its also why she's infuriated by the New Orleans police department's blase attitude towards her estranged sister's death. But pursing an investigation in a strange city means allying with someone who knows the territory. And the players. Someone with a total disregard for the rules. As an ex-cop from a police family, New Orleans PI Nick Broussard knows that cops live by their own code. You don't rat out a fellow officer. The last thing he needs is some smart-mouthed, by the book outsider unknowingly injecting herself into his undercover search for the truth. Even worse is the way she conjures up visions of tangled sheets......Nick and Kate's chase pits them against the criminal underworld of the sultry southern city. And as they peel away layers of deadly deception, they discover a dark secret too many are willing to kill to keep.....

Take a terrific murder mystery, a little voodoo, a combustible attraction between a Cajun ex SEAL and a stunningly beautiful Chicago detective and you have one heck of a great read.
