Could be a deadly mission
Good book that kept me hooked from start to finish. Raine is a desperate woman. Her brother is two weeks away from being executed for a murder she is convinced he didn't commit, and she will lose the last member of her family. She takes that desperation to Unfinished Business - a firm that investigates cold cases. When they turn her down, she accosts one of their investigators, Callum, and kidnaps him at gunpoint to get him to help her. Callum was also the junior detective on her brother's case when he was arrested.
Callum didn't plan to help Raine, but she had information on a serial killer case he had been working on, so he promised to help in exchange. They work together, looking for anyone who might know who really killed the victim. Matters become complicated when another case crosses paths with their investigation. Are the two connected, and who is behind the threats? I did not expect the twist that came along with the second case and the danger Sienna experienced. The final confrontation was a nail-biter, and I was on the edge of my seat until it was over. The ending was unexpected, and it took me a little while to believe it.
I enjoyed watching the relationship develop between
Callum and Sienna. Their chemistry was intense. I also liked seeing them get to
know each other and respect each other's jobs and integrity, though there was
some doubt about Sienna when she revealed her secret. I laughed at Callum's
reaction, as he'd already had suspicions. I was impressed by the self-control
both had in keeping their attraction in check while they worked together and
while their feelings for each other grew. There was a rough patch at the end,
but love eventually won the day.
