I received this book for review from the publisher. I did not receive any compensation for my review, and the views expressed herein are my own. I am a sleepwalker, so I was immediately intrigued by this book. I am not a screamer like Mick, but I have been known to open doors, put the stereo on, run in the house, and even talk! Micayla “Mick” Lange, a cop, is house-sitting her “Uncle” (family friend, not related by blood) Nicco’s house on New Year’s Eve. Having broken up with her boyfriend, she shows up a day early and a heist takes place that night when the house is supposed to be empty. The thieves have removed three cases of cash, a half million in each to be exact. During her attempt to take down the thieves, Mick finds photographs in the safe implicating her Uncle Nicco in a multiple homicide. She stuffs the photographs in her pocket and realizes that her life would be in jeopardy if her uncle finds out that she saw them. The security camera in the room has likely recorded everything! When her uncle’s goons arrive on the scene, Mick recognizes that she has no choice but to flee with the thieves. I like books where cops end up on the wrong side of the law, and especially ones with strong female heroines. Robards created an amazing character in Mick: She’s feisty, tough, and no-nonsense. As much as I loved her character, I had a little bit of a “disconnect” with her for the first half of the book. Even though the pace of the story was fast, I wasn’t swept away in the plot until the last half. By this point, Robards had peeled back more of Mick’s layers and I was able to finally feel that “connect” with her that had been missing earlier on. The chemistry between Mick and Jason (one of the thieves) is fiery and palpable. I loved their banter! And, Jason...what’s not to love about this bad boy with a heart of gold? Yes, he is completely swoon-worthy! Robards is a new-to-me author, but I plan to read more of her work. I love the Romantic Suspense genre, and this book had lots of both. MY RATING: 4 stars!! I really enjoyed the book and would recommend it. Thanks to Simon & Schuster Canada for the opportunity to review this book!
