Dang, if the Taggarts and their crew disappear, I might fall into a deep depression. I love this bunch of characters.
This story falls into a familiar pattern. There's an h in trouble, and an H has to save her. Of course, all that happens while the h/H have a pile of seriously smokin sex and fall in love. The plot is also pretty standard, but in this case, it ran quite thin. I found myself skipping ahead to avoid another multi-page-long conversation around who might be involved in the dirty corporate deeds. Disappointingly, there was a psychotic, narcissistic women running the Bad Corporation. I say disappointing because this is a very tired trope in the Taggart universe (see Hope McDonald, who i would have virtually killed myself if they hadn't FINALLY finished her off).
Even worse, this story set up Yet Another Psychotic Woman, who looks like she'll be woven into multiple storylines. Again, this is a very overused character, and I beg you, Lexi Blake, to rethink this. I nearly stopped reading this series over the endlessly unkillable Hope McDonald. If another Psychotic Woman runs the show, you can count me out as a future reader.
One last issue, hence the 3 stars--the h. Almost 3/4 of the way through, she still seemed unable to grasp that people might not be who they say they are. Wha? She got on my last nerve with her lack of sufficient savvy to not accept that people lie like smelly dogs. This was after she was presented with numerous blatant examples of just such evidence. This made her otherwise smart character appear sorely lacking for a Taggart female role. She was a disappointment. Most female characters in this universe are smart, strong, funny, and self-aware. Oh they aren't perfect, and they do evolve, which is the beauty of reading them. But this h, not so much.
I pre-ordered the next book, as Lexi Blake is now the only author I'll take that leap with now. Here's to hoping the next book is better.
