review 1: This is the second in the Amber Fox series and after reading the first one and liking it so much I was excited to read the second. Unfortunately, this book didn't live up to what I was expecting. The humor wasn't there and the pace just wasn't fast enough as the last one I read through in basically one sitting. The plotline also just didn't really interest me. Even with a not so great novel in this book I will still stick with Sibel because I know her humor is fantastic when it is there and her other books have proved to be winners with me. This one was just ok. 2 stars.
review 2: This is the second book in the Amber Fox series and was a fun read. What really made this story different was the fact that it is written as Amber is telling the story personall... morey to you. Not to mention she is sarcastic, quirky, funny, sexy all wrapped into one bundle of energy. Amber Fox, ex-cop, now works for her ex-fiance Brad as an insurance investigator. Brad calls her to investigate what starts out as a "something doesn't feel right moment" that he has while watching a pay-per-view boxing match between the current world champ title holder, Levi (who has recently taken out an insurance policy with brad's company), and Levi's old friend Ricky. When someone comes up to the ring yelling at Levi during the sixth round of the match and Levi is knocked out, Amber is thrown into a whirl-wind investigation that ends up being deeper than she ever thought. With the help of Brad and the other members of their investigations team Amber starts finding answers. What started as a world-title boxing scandal, quickly turns into a bank safety box robbery and murder. Who was the mysterious man and what was he yelling to Levi is her first question, but the answers don't come easy as the questions keep piling up As more players come into the mix the pace picks up as the owners of a bank, a bank owners wife, an author, an ex-con, an ex-girlfriend, and an accident four years ago play a role in the who-dunnit. Is Levi being blackmailed? And if so by who and for what reason? As things start coming together, the pace quickens as Amber finds herself in a deadly situation. As if receiving disturbing messages to back off wasn't enough, Amber finds herself smack in the middle of a love triangle between still having feelings for Brad and him wanting her back and her on-a-break boyfriend Romeo, who happens to work as an investigator for the police and is also working on the case. Sibel Hodge has a way of writing that really makes the characters come to life as Amber struggles to get to the bottom of the case and her love life. I recommend to fans of a fast paced, sometimes funny, crime filled chic lit story. I look forward to reading The Fashion Police, the first Amber Fox book, and hope Ms. Hodge keeps this series coming because she has a new fan! less
