Description:
A cop who tosses the rulebooks to
get his way…
Vampire Ian McCready doesn’t care
for Alice Capshaw’s opinions about his version of justice. Her humanity makes
her off-limits, but that does nothing to lessen his overwhelming desire for
her. To Alice, Ian is just another bad cop as detestable as the one who
destroyed her family. She’s attracted to him, yes, but he threatened his way
into her agency’s murder case and has too many secrets.
When a new case resurrects ghosts
Ian believed long dead and buried, his law-bending ways might result in his
execution. The second Alice becomes a target, his cold heart flares into
blinding existence. But following the law for her sake may end with devastating
results.
Excerpt:
“Don’t look at me, Agatha Christie.”
“Are you calling me a snoop or old
and wrinkly?”
Instead of answering, she pushed off
his chest. It made him wince, but she tried not to care. Something about the
way he avoided responsibility grated on her. He seemed to sense her shift in
mood.
“I’m a Tracker. It’s what we do.”
Yeah, like she hadn’t expected that
response. Why couldn’t he just own what he did?
“You mean whatever you want?” she
asked. “We’re supposed to stop criminals, not become them.”
“You think the killer’s going to
cooperate and fall into our laps?”
“Why are you so sure they were the
killers?”
“You did see them shooting at us,
didn’t you?”
She half wished they were still
shooting at him. “We were trespassing on private property. They had no idea who
we were.”
He glowered. “They’re vampires,
Alice. Of course they knew who we were.”
“Don’t talk to me like I’m an
idiot.” She glared right back at him. “Either way, we weren’t legally
authorized to be there.”
“And they were authorized to shoot
at us? In the middle of Capitol Hill?”
“If we hadn’t been there, they
wouldn’t have—” She blew out a breath. “Never mind. Let’s just get out of here.
I’ve had more than enough of you tonight.”
“You
sure have.”

My Review: 5 stars
First off, this was such a great book I read it
in one sitting. Yes, I love it - how could I not? Killian McCready (Ian) is an
Immortalis Tracker, the vampire version of a cop. He does things his own way,
but gets results. After a few hundred years of being a Tracker (cop), how could
he not? Alice Capshaw has come in to cover for Val while Val and Kade are in
seclusion. Alice believes things are black and white and that cops like Ian
always do what they want and has a good reason to think so; or does she? As
soon as Alice steps in, there is a situation that requires her immediate
attention and requires her to work alongside Ian. (What a tragedy!) Sparks fly
between them right from the get go, and it's amazing. Ian is freaking gorgeous,
not to mention Irish, so he's got that going for him too. The playful banter
that Ian and Alice have is endearing from the start. And once things go in a
romantic direction, whoa!! Talk about melting you into a puddle of goo - damn!
Angela is a fantastic writer, with a quick wit, great storylines, amazing
characters and oh my damn sexy love scenes. I am loving this series and the
author!! I can't wait until the next book is released, and this one isn't
really out yet. Wonder if that one will be about the broody Declan? Can't wait
to find out.
About
the Author:
Angela McCallister has always
wanted to grow up to be someone who would never grow up, and lucky her, that’s
exactly what she’s done. Nothing says adventurous more than being a career US
Navy Sailor with an imagination wild enough to create stories and characters
with a paranormal bite. A mother of five, she’s gained plenty of story ideas
from her family as well as her military experience.
Angela is very laid-back and happy to try just
about anything once, from skydiving, sailing, slacklining, Aikido, and even
hang-gliding--as long as she doesn't have to subject anyone to her
"singing" or make an appearance in a bikini. Like all authors, she's
crazy for books, especially Romance, and will talk about them for days. She's
currently stationed at Naval Base Ventura County Point Mugu in California where
she can be spoiled with some of the best weather in the country. With such
platforms as an aircraft carrier, an amphibious ship, and an Aegis destroyer,
and duty stations in Illinois, Washington, Hawaii, and California, her
experiences vary widely. She's visited Thailand (a favorite), Bahrain, Dubai,
Jebel Ali, Hong Kong, Guam, Canada, Mexico, and Singapore. She's a member of
RWA San Diego, From the Heart Romance Writers, and Rose City Romance Writers
and especially loves to hear from and meet readers and fellow authors.
