Summary from Carina Press site:
Washington, D.C., Metro Police Detective Sergeant Sam Holland needs a big win to salvage her career—and her confidence—after a disastrous investigation. The perfect opportunity arises when Senator John O’Connor is found brutally murdered in his bed, and Sam is assigned to the case. Matters get complicated when Sam has to team up with Nick Cappuano, O’Connor’s friend and chief of staff…and the man Sam had a memorable one-night stand with years earlier. Their sexual chemistry still sizzles, and Sam has to fight to stay focused on the case. Sleeping with a material witness is another mistake she can’t afford—especially when the bodies keep piling up.
I’ve read Ms. Force’s previous romance novels and loved them, so I was very excited to get an advance copy of FATAL AFFAIR. I was immediately captivated by the story. I read the entire book in one sitting. (My back was killing me when I was done!) This is a romantic suspense and from the very outset I was trying to figure out who the murderer was - I didn’t figure it out until maybe a page or two before the reveal. To me this is the mark of a fantastic suspense novel. I hate when I know who the bad guy is early in the book. The relationship that develops between Sam and Nick is fantastic. It happens very quickly, but didn’t feel out of place. The two have a shared history which made it believable for them to fall in love at the pace they did. This book was on the long side (411 pages on my computer), but didn’t feel long at all when I was reading. FATAL AFFAIR is a very fast paced, action packed book that left me wanting more. There is one secondary character (Sam’s partner) that I hope gets his own book. I can’t wait to read more by this author!!
