review 1: A short, entertaining book about a female border patrol agent and an undercover Department of Homeland Security agent. The female agent has spent her whole career trying to prove that a woman can do the job just like a man and spurns any thought of having a long term relationship with a cohort. Then she is assigned her first undercover assignment with a beautiful hunk of a G-man. They are working the U.S./Mexican border by San Diego trying to find a tunnel expert providing his expertise to drug cartels smuggling drugs and other things through his tunnels.The cover these two agents have is being a man and wife who own a sex toy store on the border. This leads to some really funny (and erotic) situations as they get "familiar" with their inventory and each other. I enjo... moreyed the romantic banter, plus there was some suspense and danger that just added to the situations these two found themselves in. I'll probably try reading some other books by Ms. Swan because I certainly liked this one.
review 2: Wow!! That was a seriously hot little read!!!! The chemistry was off the charts and scrumptious!! I need to fan my face for a bit!Zoe is more than a little bit awesome! She rocks and owns her sensuality. I love that she doesn't let Walker treat her like a helpless little lady. The way she schooled him in the cafe was priceless.Taft Walker has his moments where he is a total ass. Fortunately, Zoe is fabulous at putting him in his place and showing the error of his ways. They have fabulous banter and a delightful dynamic throughout the book.Lord have mercy, those smexy scenes were hot! Pantie drenching steam that was uber smexy. This is pretty close to erotic detail in a fairly mainstream read. Rough play with sex toys thrown in as a bonus! I was saying yes, yes, oh Gawd yes!!!The book is a mixed narrative, popping between the two leads POV. I prefer this style because you really get to see the relationship from both angles. It makes for a more well rounded love story. Or lust story in this case. I am sure they are headed to the HEA, but I think feelings are a little early to solid.The story was great and I kind of wished it had been longer. There was so much more that could have happened in the investigation and the romance. I love a quickie, but this was such a delight I was sad to see it end.I listened to the audiobook narrated by Amanda Leigh Cobb, who was fabulous!! Her voice has a perfect rasp to fit the sassy leading lady. She puts such delicious energy into the smexy scenes, a girl could embarrass her self listening in public! I found myself looking around and blushing! Great pace in the read kept the movement of the story flowing. I will definitely look for more of her work!Overall, this was a terrific extension of the series. It connects nicely to the first book with a little update on Cassie and Rio. I am eager to see more of this series and really hope there are plans to continue in audio! Ms. Swan is going on my stalking...um following lists!Disclosure - I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts, opinions and ratings are my own. less
