"I'll leave as soon as you give me what I want." In another time and place, that might have a nice ring to it. But standing in a Chicago hotel room with a cub reporter as obstinate as she is hot, FBI agent Derek Knight knows he has to play it charming. Something like, "By holding on to that evidence, you're interfering with FBI business, ma'am, and by the way, those long, gorgeous legs of yours would look awfully good wrapped around my. . ." Sure, losing all sense of professionalism may not help his career, but the off-duty perks would be sensational. . . "Yeah, right, you're an FBI agent. And I can bake a cake from scratch." Reese Hampton is not giving up the envelope she found in her rental car--the one with the story that could take her from journalistic Siberia straight to the front page. She'll just have to outsmart the certifiably insane Fed with the movie-star good looks. Dodge and weave. Distract and bed. No! Bad hormones, bad! Still, spending time with that unbelievably broad chest up close and personal might just add, um, depth to her story. If only she can let her robe down while keeping her guard up. . .

Ok, call me wimpy or whatever but I don't think I would withhold evidence from a F.B.I agent. I know Reese is a reporter but damn it's the F.B.I! I would prefer not to end up in Gitmo or wherever the new one is going to be thank you very much.
"Turn around I want to look at your ass." Classic. I'm sure at some point in their lives every woman has wanted to demand this of a man and I give props to Reese for actually saying it.
Honestly, I didn't even feel as if I had taken my first breathe since starting the story until I got to chapter 6. Those first five chapters was intense fast reading.
The playfulness between these two is so damn enjoyable, not to mention hot :) Oh, god the pastie scene was awesome, so funny how the small pasties seemed to throw Derek for a loop. Poor men and their inability to understand women's underthings.
At first I was annoyed with the whole pharmaceutical drug pricing F.B.I case interrupting the smoking Reese/Derek chemistry, but then further in the book I was like ok, ok they're having sexy time again and wanting some more story. There was never a good balance between action plot and relationship plot.
I also found myself getting annoyed with how buttinski Reese was in Derek's case. Once again I know she is a reporter looking for her big break but some of the things she does could cause the fail of a very important case, and she understands how important it is but seems to immature to rethink her actions. Oooh, maybe the author meant for it to seem this way since there is a little bit of a focus on Reese being 26yrs and Derek at 36yrs, so maybe Ms. McCarthy was subtlety acknowledging Reese's age. Or maybe I'm looking too much into it and Reese's annoying, stupid interference was just a crappy plot point to keep Reese in Chicago and with Derek.
I just had to copy and paste this little exchange on here:
He blinked and turned his head to look at her. "You want a good night kiss?"
"No! I want you to want a good night kiss." Duh.
Classic boyfriend/girlfriend talk with the whole "I want you to want," hahaha, some really cute exchanges in this book.
Whoa, the unorthodox use of the gun/sex scene (think about it and you'll know what I'm talking about) was a little too weird for me. Handcuffs, wonderful edgy fun; guns not so much for me. Maybe it caught me off guard with this not being a book where you would expect something like that and that was why I was weirded out by it.
I'm going to go ahead and guesstimate here that this books contained 90% booty scenes and 10% action plot. I found myself needing more story and breaks from Derek and Reese in the bedroom. I'm weird like that. I think some authors need to learn the power of sexual tension and how delaying that first getting down and dirty scene can make it all that much better. I mean let us all go back to "Moonlighting" (tv show in the late '80s, wait why I am I explaining what Moonlighting was, every women alive in the '80s should know the show). What made that show great I ask you? That's right sexual tension and being only 8 or 9 at the time I still remember that coffee table scene which was cumulation of over two yrs worth of s.t.
The first part of the story was fast paced and fantastic. I also thoroughly enjoyed how Reese totally and completely put Derek through the ringer. There were great witty lines in this story but Reese's stubborn immaturity and the overabundance of bedroom scenes (that sounds like something people are going to think I am crazy for complaining about) kept this book from being a keeper for me. I am glad I read it and definitely recommend it if you are hankering for a light fun F.B.I. agent romp read. May I also say thank god I finally picked a book which was a least a B and gave me something to write about!!!
