Superb!!! (Definition: Of unusually high quality; excellent). That is what comes to mind if someone were to ask me what I thought about this book. Marie Force does it again. Her writing is flawless; her suspense is gripping; her romance is passionate; her characters are real; and the surprise twists in the storyline are some of the book's greatest strengths. What I love about her writing is her ability to draw the reader into the book as if they were part of the story. She grabs a hold of you and doesn't let you go until the very last page.
Fatal Affair is a riveting tale about Detective Sergeant Sam Holland and Nick Cappuano, Chief of Staff to Senator O'Connor. After discovering Senator O'Connor's dead body, Nick is plunged into a world of deception, intrigue, and passion beyond his wildest dreams. And heading the investigation is Sam, the woman he had a one night stand with six years earlier. Circumstances kept them apart six years ago, and now an malevolent murderer is determined to see that they remain apart.
I really enjoyed the character of Sam Holland. She is dedicated to her job, devoted to her family, and faces her flaws with courage. She wants to remain distant from Nick, but the passion that flares between them is just too strong. And, of course, Nick's pursuit of her doesn't make it any easier. I loved the witty banter between Sam and her partner, as well as the teasing dialogue she has with Nick.
Nick is my kind of hero. He isn't afraid to love even with his own broken background. I love his faults...being OCD in his own unique way, and just a little protective of Sam but not in an overbearing way. He falls in love with her and has to learn to let her be who she is...first and foremost a detective. He is not so alpha that he can't apologize when it is needed. And the support he gives to Sam is genuine. He truly wants her to succeed and is willing to go to any lengths to see that they get their Happily Ever After. Devoted not only to Sam but also to those close to him, he is devastated by his friend's death and is determined to help find who murdered him.
What more can I say about this truly amazing book without giving away any details that would take away from the enjoyment of the book. (I hate spoilers...LOL). If you want a thrill ride filled with twists and turns, suspense that keeps you on the edge of your seat, and sensual passion...then Fatal Affair is the book for you.
Thank you so much, Marie, for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book before the release date!!! You took me on a roller coaster ride of emotions and made me fall in love with Nick and Sam. I am so looking forward to the next book in the series!! You have definitely penned another winner!!
