ARC Review: Face of Danger (Guardian Angelinos) [Mass Market Paperback]

I've finished "Face of Danger" the third book in her Guardian Angelinos trilogy by Roxanne St. Claire.

Product Description

Private investigator Vivi Angelino loves living life on the edge, but stepping into the shoes of a movie starlet to bait a serial killer isn't just a thrill . . . it's a ticket to the big time for her fledgling security firm. That is, as long as a certain risk-averse FBI agent stays out of her way-and out of her fantasies.

Assistant Special Agent in Charge Colton Lang isn't above using his well-worn rulebook to stop Vivi's latest walk on the wild side. But when they learn her client is involved in something far more insidious than bad acting, Vivi and Colt must work together despite the electrifying attraction arcing between them. For each new clue is bringing them closer to a high-profile crime with a dark and deadly truth at its core . . . and a cold, calculating murderer with nothing left to lose.

My Review:

Storyline:  Private investigator Vivi Angelino loves living life on the edge, but stepping into the shoes of a movie starlet to bait a serial killer isn't just a thrill . . . it's a ticket to the big time for her fledgling security firm. That is, as long as a certain risk-averse FBI agent stays out of her way-and out of her fantasies.

Assistant Special Agent in Charge Colton Lang isn't above using his well-worn rulebook to stop Vivi's latest walk on the wild side. But when they learn her client is involved in something far more insidious than bad acting, Vivi and Colt must work together despite the electrifying attraction arcing between them. For each new clue is bringing them closer to a high-profile crime with a dark and deadly truth at its core . . . and a cold, calculating murderer with nothing left to lose.

Characters:  Vivi has a past. Her traumatic experience in her teen years changed her from a cheerleader/ballet dancer adolescent just coming into the exploration of her sexuality to a pierced tomboy who dressed in baggy clothes doing her best to hide her feminine side.  She's very loyal to her family, determined for the firm to grow and prosper, quite stubborn and a risk taker.

Colt after the death of his fiancee many years ago has left him scarred and determined to ignore any attraction or feelings he may have for Vivi!  His agenda and his motivation for his need for rules and control is spelled out very early in the book that's it's a surprise when he breaks some rules once he partners up with Vivi.  She makes him lose his control and heart!


Romance: Wow the love scenes were very hot from the plane trip to bathroom to the wall, etc.  I literately thought the pages were going to go up in flames!

Killer(s):  Wow were they very cold hearted and would kill anyone that got in their way without blinking an eye or showing any remorse.

4/5
