A
billionaire’s life and art collection are at risk. Who better to help than the
daughter of a cat burglar?
When
art collector Cole Anderson is targeted for his priceless Renoir, he
reluctantly employs a bodyguard to upgrade his personal security. Imagine his
surprise when she arrives—professional, capable, and sporting a ponytail and a
gorgeous smile. Alex Foxley is all woman—sexy, feisty, and intimately familiar
with the shady workings of the art underworld thanks to her mother’s
connections.
While
battling an explosive attraction for each other and thwarting thieves
determined to have Cole’s Renoir at any cost, Cole and Alex must work together
to protect his life and property—and uncover a secret neither of them knows
exists. Will they discover who is behind the deadly conspiracy before it’s too
late? Or will passion and lust blind them to what’s right under their noses?

“Perhaps we
should up your bodyguards to two agents when you attend a more public event?”
Cole’s eyes flickered with amusement. “You
think you can’t handle it on your own?”
Mm, she should have expected that from
him. “I can handle it, Anderson. Just thinking ahead and trying to be
prepared, that’s all.”
“You’re my arm candy with a kick,
remember? You can handle me.”
“I can handle the press,” she said
softly. “As for you, I’m not so sure.” She’d meant to tease him but to her surprise,
she found her words had a ring of truth to them. She wasn’t sure if she could handle him – or
the chemistry that sparked between them.
“If you can handle a bullet and a cat
burglar, I should be a walk in the park.”
“Bullets and cat burglars are familiar to
me. You are an entirely new game.”
“I like games.”
“Why am I not surprised?”
Dark eyes zeroed in on her and he gave her a
slow, predatory smile. “Scared?”

Hotness factor: it’s hot, it’s very hot
I’m
all about strong female characters and Alex Foxley started the book being just
that, great strong female character. She stopped a robbery and saved billionaire
Cole Anderson. He hired her for his protection, but sparks fly between them…
I
didn’t care much about Cole, apart from being nice looking I found him too much
if an alpha male for Alex. We’re also missing a lot information about both
characters, like their age and origins. The story is set in New York, but Cole
speaks a lot like a Brit. It could be part of the mystery, but it threw me off
a few times.
The pace
was a little slow for my taste, especially when it comes to a mystery, but the love
scenes were hot and I like the ending, as it opened a lot of possibilities. A sequel,
maybe?
Overall,
this was an entertaining, sexy tale about the art world and its thieves. The
prologue was very enticing and pulled me in. I knew who “did it” from the beginning,
but it was still nice to it unravelling.

I usually connect more with the quiet, gentle type of heroine.
