This is Susan Sey's debut novel. As a contemporary romance, this really hits the mark. The dialogue is witty, the main characters sexy and the sexual tension hot enough to steam.

Unfortunately, as a Romantic Suspense, this really didn't work at all. The suspense plot was weak, the villain one dimensional and the procedure aspects full of holes. I tried setting that aside, since the suspense was very light and the focus on the romance, but there was too much to overlook. I tried to take this in the vein of Tara Janzen's Steele Street series, but it was a stretch. ( )

This is a story about an FBI agent and an ex-theif working together to bring down a counterfeiter. At first I thought it was going to be a light hearted humorous book and there were aspects of it, but then the story would swing into series territory. I felt it would have been better to be one or the other, but as it tried to be both at times, overall the book suffered for it. I think this is the author's debut. There was certainly enough enjoyment here for me to pick up her next one, Money Shot, which is out just about now I think and features the Secret Service agent with the unattractive nickname of Goose (Maria di Guzman) who is a secondary character in this book.
