I can't even tell you how much I love this series. Like I want to send Tia gifts (chocolate? flowers? jewelry? what will it take Tia?) for the next year to bribe her to write maybe bazillion more books with Derek, Melissa, Patrick, and Elaine. I want to stay in their world for a whole lot longer. Well minus someone trying to kill any of them for sure. A bit of drama is always good. So they could definitely be the sleuths they were in the last book minus any possibility of death. Weddings and babies and mysteries would be good drama, right?
I have to admit that Patrick is my favorite. Come on...any alpha guy who lets his girl tie him up then goes crazy ripping out of the restraints...he's the one for me. I know. You're thinking baby with another woman - truth is I totally love Kenny and I can't wait to read her story. You just know it's going to be a good one. I know you're also thinking hooker frame up - I ended up liking Toni and am hoping that we get to hear more about her too. The thing about Patrick is that he just has a really beautiful heart. He screws up a bit at the beginning, but by george this guy finishes big. He's sexy and solid and loves his girl.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this series
and give all 3 books 5 hearts!
