Exposure
3 Stars

The final installment in Dee Davis's Last Chance series focuses on British MI6 agent, Nigel Ferris, and photojournalist Melissa Hope, the woman with whom he had an intense affair with 15 years earlier. Nigel and Melissa are reunited when the cases they are each assigned coincide and they must work together to stop a deadly threat.

Nigel and Melissa have excellent chemistry and their initial scene together is definitely the most fiery in the series. The two work well together to overcome the obstacles to their relationship and there is, thankfully, no unnecessary angst.

The suspense plot is comprised of several threads that ultimately come together although it does get confusing at times trying to keep track of the various villains and their agendas. The primary villain is particularly menacing and the climax and resolution are intense and exciting.

Davis's writing style is good overall, but she does have a tendency toward over-description, which can slow the pacing during the action scenes.

In sum, this is an enjoyable series recommended for fans of romantic suspense. ( )

Overall Rating: 4.35 // Action: 4.25 / Emotion: 3.5 / Romance: 4 / Sensuous: 2.5 / Suspense: 4.5 // Laughter: 2 / Tears: 0

Dee Davis has a remarkable talent for writing truly intriguing, action-packed romances. *Exposure*, the last book in "The Last Chance Trilogy" is no exception. Could not help but want to keep reading *Exposure* in rapt fascination after reading the opening scene -- and didn't lose interest, even after reading the last sentence of the epilogue.

*Exposure* features: {1} Nigel Ferris, a gorgeous, extremely alpha MI6 agent, who allows himself to lower his emotional shields to find future happiness. {2} Melissa Pope, a vibrant, intelligent, gorgeous, strong-willed, self-sufficient CIA agent, whose emotional barriers were twice as thick as Nigel's. {3} A renewal of the romance that had started to develop between Nigel and Melissa fifteen years ago. {4} Plenty of action and adventure included in plot to keep story moving at a fast pace. {5} Inclusion of many different interwoven plot threads to keep the suspense level intense through entire book. {6} Although did not feel the depth of emotional connection to Nigel and Melissa that should have, Davis did bring heat and sizzle to their lovemaking scenes. {7} Well-developed, interesting secondary characters added great depth and interest to plot. Particularly liked the continued development of the protagonists from the previous two books of the trilogy.
