review 1: I have read and loved this series for awhile. This was the hardest book for me to read. It nearly became a DNF. There was not enough of the characters I loved and I didn't connect well with the new characters. I did finish since there were important plot points for the series overall in this book. But it felt like too many details, too many extraneous characters. And the main couple of the book - they didn't even kiss until 54% of the way thru the book and then it wasn't believable to me in the situation. I just struggled with this book.
review 2: After reading the first Steele Street books one after the other, it was months before I got to this one. That being said, it brought me back into the fold easily reminding exactly what I loved about these books... more. Janzen is an author, much like Cindy Gerard, who can write an action scene. And she does. She doesn't skimp on it nor does it ever sound forced. I love her books because they steal you, and they do it quick. And in ones like this one, you end up in a crazy stitch in the middle of a city in some other dangerous country where the rules are that everyone has a price. It's dirty dealings, steamy nights, and escaping gun fire. So no, there's none of the muscle cars we know and love. BUT there is Dax Killian, who we met in Johnny and Esme's book, Loose and Easy, and whatever was going to happen between him and art dealer Suzi Toussi, was already teeming with sexy tension after their almost encounter at Duffy's in that book. This one IS a little out there with everyone chasing a woowoo witchy statue that promises immortality, which brings all the freaks who want a piece of it out to Paraguay. Suzi, the art gallery owner we've known for several books from afar, is working a mission for Buck Grant, and is tasked with retrieving it. So is Dax, but his benefactor isn't on the up and up. But with Dax never doubt him, because he's a patriot through and through. His chemistry with Suzi is off the charts, and while there are a LOT of characters and a lot of story to be told, their romance is pitch perfect with the requisite steamy, sweet moments and the epilogue that always delivers. Oh, and there's the issue of this guy Conroy. This guy Conroy who Dylan and Hawkins are out trying to get. Creed too. This guy who looks a hell of a lot like a certain someone else. A certain someone who is supposed to be dead. Oh yeah, it didn't take me nearly as long to get to the next book. less
