Yep, the fun just keeps going! This is a seriously addictive series, begin at your own risk!
This time around Samantha and Rick find themselves in New York City. While at a Sotheby's auction, Sam stumbles upon a dead man - her own dad - in the shadows and undoubtably breathing! What follows is an unwanted, yet seriously thrilling, descent back into the criminal life as Sam is blackmailed into pulling off one more huge heist.
While their relationship is stretched to the limit in this installment, Rick is once again a large reason the we love these books. He does whatever it takes to keep his woman safe, happy and in one piece. Their relationship is the stuff dreams are made of (sigh!) It's absolute yummy, scrumptiousness set against the back-drop of a high-octane caper!
This was my least favorite of the series so far. I don't think it gives away much to say that Sam's father comes back from the dead and causes much strain between Rick and Sam. The tension between the two of them made sense and was in character, yet after two other books and the progress they have made, it felt like Sam was falling backward. Further she seemed to make stupid choices for the first 100 pages or so and it was frustrating.
The romance and romantic tension just didn't do it for me and the love scenes were scanty and not very steamy or significant. This book didn't really further the progression of their relationship or their love story at all. It felt like a place holder to me.
