Later Sophie gets an anonymous tip to talk to Megan’s brother Marc Hunter.

Marc is a lifer, for murder of a fellow DEA agent, and possession of heroin

Sophie interviews him… and is kidnapped. She tries to escape and for that effort only gets hypothermia, she blacks out.

When she finally wakes, she is naked in a sleeping bag with Hunter. After she tortures his nuts and he calls her Spirit (Hunt’s nickname for her), she finds out he is “Hunt”.

They kiss until she remembers, oh right he is running from the law, and he kidnapped her.

There is an inmate in Denver county jail that dies of a heroin overdose, Sophie covers that story

Marc then talks with the Rawlings (Megan’s adopted parents) they are cold and there’s no love lost. 
They are going on vacation; he tells them it’s good because Megan’s big bad brother has escaped prison. So he crashes there when they are gone.

That night he breaks in to Sophie’s apartment and asks for help. She has already asked for the record of Megan and the other girls rape in juvenile detention.

There is another overdose both girls were around Megan's age

The DOC says there is no record of the "incident" (guards raping under age girls). So she goes to Ken Harburg (Megan parole officer) to see if he can get it for her. Marc shows up, but no one recognizes him, praise the lord... and the only thing he did was cut his hair and remove the beard.

Later that night, she gets pulled over... and they find heroin - anyone else seeing a reacquiring theme.

She goes to jail for a night, and a guard comes to her cell, though he does not get a chance to go in since he is called away.

Marc goes to her place looking for drugs... and he finds them he leave just before the k-9 unit came along

There is a court hearing and she bails out, she returns to the paper only to be suspended with pay. She is in a fog and when Marc comes around with the Jag she simply jumps in. They go to the Rawling house. And sleep together after a crying jag and smaller crisis is averted.

They check the Rawling house for clues about Megan and where she could be.

They start making connection between the recent OD's and Megan.. and it's not a pretty picture.

It's a good book and all sometimes it's really hard to follow, the details were really good and made it a realistic book.
Julian's whole lone wolf, my life and romance before sucked therefore no love for me. It's irritating and kinda cliche.
Also the topic is not really something I know about, but I did get sucked into this book anyhow.
I like that we get both POW's from both Tessa and Julian.
I also like the glimpses we get of the bad guy

Rock Chick

India Savage mostly known as Indy has a tiny tiny problem with an employ  from her used bookstore/coffee store... he has a million in fucking stolen fucking diamonds.

Rosie her barista has a small side businesses including a smaller jungle of freaking pot... well, these guys that gave him diamonds wanted him to keep them for a time... but they have stolen them from some bad ass crime dude. The crime dudes goons come and want the diamonds back... and they have guns, so of course Indy has to mouth of. 

She calls her best friend Ally if there is someplace she can crash, and there is... at her brother Lee's place... only trouble the last 10 years Indy has been trying to avoid him like the plague, since she from 5-20 had a major crush on him... and at 20 he told her she was like a sister for him... so that broke her heart and she wants as little possible contact with him.
Ally says Lee isn't supposed to be home for a looooong time, but he turns up at night, tapes Rosie up and wakes Indy up.
The next morning Lee tells Indy that in payment for him helping her sort Rosie's shit out... she has to sleep with him... totally his little sister.

Well, after some kissing, Ally and Kitty Sue (Ally, Lee and Hank's mother) come over and Rosie has escaped.

And since Indy does not want to sleep with Lee, she does her best to find Rosie herself.

“Lee and I have a bet, the kind of bet I don’t wanna lose.” 

It wasn’t a total lie. If Lee found Rosie, I would lose a lot, peace of mind, my grip on reality, things like that.

First time it goes wrong is when she and Ally are having a stake out at Rosie's place Indy gets fucking stun gunned, kidnapped, hit in the face by a big guy and a young and really version of grandpa freaking Munster gets the hots for her... yuck yuck yuck

“It was nice to meet you,” Wilcox said calmly
I looked over my shoulder and said (perhapsfeeling a bit tougher now that Scary Lee was with me). “The pleasure was all yours.”

Next morning Lee and Indy have a heavy make out session on the border to sex... when the buzzer goes three quick and then a long beep -  emergency code
He leaves and here we go for yet another escapade to find Rosie.

 Lee has put one of his guys on Indy duty, Indy sees him and starts flirting, that ends with Lee calling her and telling her to leave the dude alone, telling her Fortnum's is wired, though under the thread that she will move to Venezuela.

She gets pissed - cause who wouldn't.
She and Ally (and Matt) go door to door and after that they go to visit "The Kevster" one of Rosie's emergency contacts, through no luck.

After that they meet Tex a guy that looks like Grizzly Adams, but the serial killer version. He was also carrying a shotgun and had some kind of freaky-ass goggle apparatus on the top of his head.

That night she decides to firstly stand Lee up on a date, then she breaks in at Tim's (another one of Rosie's (very few) friends) and Tex got the same idea and helps, inside they find something freaking gross... dead body

“I did the breakin’ and the enterin’ for both of us. After I did the breakin’, I threw her through the window,” Tex offered this information and Lee’s eyes cut to Tex.

“I’m sorry?” Lee asked and his voice was scary. 

Tex seemed not to notice it. “She was gettin’ second thoughts

They go back to Lee's condo have a smaller rip roaring fight where Indy decides to not go looking for Rosie anymore since - oh right she saw a fucking dead body.

He leaves... with her cuffed to the bed.

The next morning they almost make love, that comes to a halt when Indy wants to talk about if they fuck it up.
He gets pissed and kicks her out and then she gets pissed starts
yelling and Lee gets unpissed and they start gettin' it on again... and again they have to stop the happy activities, this time cause the doorbell "Urgent Code".
Indy's friend Andrea calls and talks about Lee's reputation.

Hank, Matt and another of Lee's men Bobby are there about the B&E though not knowing Indy was a part of it.
It turns out there was blood on the scene. Lee makes sure it isn't Indy's he makes her take her clothe off to check her.

“Was that really necessary?” I snapped.

He smiled The Smile, pleased with himself.

“Nope, but it was fun.”

And well it isn't her blood.

Later she takes time to reflect on everything while making macaroni salad... and Rosie shows up... with a gun, he shoots at Tod Indy's neighbor.

"We both didn’t want to leave you.” 

“So now you’re getting shot at, you’re gonna leave me?” 

“Girlie, I’m from Texas. We shoot at each other to say good morning. Now you’re getting shot at, we can’t go.”

She calls Lee and he comes over and a little later comes a gift from Terry "Grandpa Munster" Wilcox, it's a one thousand seven hundred fifty dollar dress. 

Well they go to the family barbecue... and walk in 15 minutes late. And Lee gets pissed at Indy cause she says that her father isn't on team Lee+Indy and that he hated all her boyfriends and that he would rather have her be with Hank, Lee's brother... maybe not the smartest move.
He leaves, someone knocks on the door... and Indy gets kidnapped... again.

She gets saved by Tex that throws a grenade inside (I think it's a smoke grenade).
The kidnappers shoot at them one of them (Rick  a.k.a. Pepper Shooter) nails Tex's shoulder. Indy being more or less traumatized by the incident she doesn't want to leave him like at all.

“Now you’re bein’ a girl,” Tex said. 

“Soon you’ll be slobberin’ on me. It’s just a shot to the shoulder. Shit,I’ve had worse than this.”

They go to the hospital where they get interviewed by the cops. Indy does also get an intimate relationship with her kneecaps while waiting for Tex's operation to be over.

Indy after thinking about something Lee said finds out he has been lying to her the whole time... Oh fuck, poor Lee. Indy ends it with him... as if.

She leaves to go to sleep in the couch, but of course Lee isn't gonna let that happen.
They get to he story telling/apologizing part of pissed of, and everything is fine in paradise.

Next morning Lee is off hunting - and not little furry creatures.

Fortnum's is supposed to be closed, but Duke opened it anyways and there is a Rosie riot, Indy goes to smooth it all out, she ends up making a story up about him going to El Salvador to building houses for the poor... out of mud... UUHHMM... What!?!?!?!?!

Something like this I guess

Well, after this bizarre speech Mr. & Mrs. Kumar show up also
with an almost mummy like person turning out to be Mr. Salim Mrs. Kumar's mother.

"...They were standing in front of Ally and I gave them a big thumbs up. In slow motion, old Mrs. Salim returned the gesture and I feared that her thumb would break off in a poof of dust like the zombie’s arm in Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” video.."

And she gets a rescue call from the Kevster, a scary guy had been there, he is sure he will be back and he will die just like Tim.
So Indy being Indy goes there cause he doesn't like cops... It's a pot jungle, literally pot all over the place

"I turned and saw that The Kevster’s living room was filled with pot plants. 

Every surface was covered with plants, and that included the floor. 

There was a narrow path forged through the plants but other than that, it was wall-to-wall marijuana. It was a pot jungle."

Indy wants to move the pot to Rosie's place before calling the cops... Hank of course does not think that is a good idea, since him being a cop and all.

Just after the cops show they have to pick up Tex that got released from the hospital
They get him home and do cleaning thing, cat things and  a mix of both, when they leave Tex comes with cause he is a sad man (he is also crazy) and he needs a hobby... other than cats

“Listen man, I been on this block for twenty years without leavin’ except to go to the fuckin’ dentist when I had a toothache in 1998. I got off it last night and for the first time in years, I feel free.” 

They get to Indy's place and practically everybody is there. They go of to get pizza before Tod/Burgundy Rose (Tod's drag queen alter ego) show. So they all go to a gay bar including Tex, Lee and Hank... weeeell

“No one and I mean no one but Indy’s Hunk of Burning Love would be allowed to see me this way. You talk, you die.”  - Midway in Burgundy Rose transformation

Well in the middle of the show Tod gets Indy on scene and pepper Rick shows up and starts shooting to the place.
She is in a car with Ally and Tex when they see him escaping so they have the brilliant of having a high speed car chase.

They almost crash, but only almost Ally and Indy get in a shouting match after that is over the parents get there Malcolm (Nightingale dad) starts shouting at Ally and when he is done, her boyfriend Carl gets there and he starts shouting at her... definitely not Ally's night

Next morning there is a dead body on Fortnum's front door... a gift!?
The cops show up and Lee and of course Fortnums is closed,Indy goes to Tex's place and and Allt gives her a manicure.

And they talk about Indy+Lee. After manis and confessions of the heart she goes home and waters
Stevie's flowers.

I’m sorry about last night.”

“I’m not sure I forgive you, though Tod says you threw yourself on top of him to protect him from bullets so I guess I’m not so mad. Tod thought it was a blast. Says it reminded him of home.”

“The way Tod tells it, I don’t think I want to go to Texas.”

She goes to Lee's place and starts making his favorite food... but he never shows. Indy doesn't get angry though since she prepared for that since the work schedule isn't very nine-to-five. He finally comes home around midnight and they finally get down to business. After being done they start eating. but Lee being all macho man  goes for round two.

The next morning they get in an agreement that Indy can help with conditions - of course.
Indy finds out he read her diaries, so she gets pissed at him. And last but not least he gets her to move in by the weekend.

There is a crazy Italian dude, he turns out to be a  present from Terry, they sort it out by Tex being Tex.
After that situation is handled they go to Lee's office in LoDo she meets Dawn, Monty and Vance. She kinna flirts with Vance which pisses Lee of.

They keep on the quest to find Rosie...

It's hilarious alright, I love Tex he is so fucking crazy... he is just a nut job
And the fact it seems to be impossible for Indy to not get in trouble.

Heroes of Olympus: The Son of Neptun

"THE SNAKE-HAIRED LADIES WERE starting to annoy Percy.
They should have died three days ago when he dropped a crate of bowling balls on them at the Napa Bargain Mart. They should have died two days ago when he ran over them with a police car in Martinez. They definitely should have died this morning when he cut off their heads in Tilden Park."

They are beautiful, right?

Percy has a couple of problems:

1. 2 gorgons are trying to kill him and have for days
2. He is going somewhere, he is not really sure where the end destination is
3. He has amnesia

"Percy hated tests. Since he’d lost his memory, his whole life was one big fill-in-the-blank. He was ____________________, from ____________________. He felt like ____________________, and if the monsters caught him, he’d be ____________________."

He comes to a hill... and he is trapped.

Snake lady's come, they try to kill him and he jumps of the hill on a metal tray... just a normal day for a demi-god

"As he fell toward the highway, a horrible scenario flashed through his mind: his body smashing against an SUV’s windshield, some annoyed commuter trying to push him off with the wipers. Stupid sixteen-year-old kid falling from the sky! I’m late!"

He gets to the highway without dying... an incredible task by it self.

U get the idea

There he meet's "the goddess of smelly, heavy, useless hippies", it's actually Juno in disguise.
He carries her all the way to Camp Jupiter, where one of the two guards that where at the gate gets caught by a gorgon, Percy does his thing with water and saves Frank.

Old bag lady becomes Juno everybody is in awe and all, but Percy is Percy and shows no respect what so ever.

He gets taken to the principia (Roman version HQ) he talks with Reyna praetor of the Twelfth Legion Fulminata,then he gets send to the Augur... that by the way is a creep and the stuff in teddy bear nightmares.

He meet's Nico DiAngelo (... again)  at Pluto's shrine 

They talk and Percy thinks he knows him, but he isn't sure for obvious reasons.

Hazel talks with her brother "the oh so brooding" Nico, we find out she was dead for 70 years before coming back to the world of the living.

They have a initiation thing with Percy, Hazel stands up for him and he gets put in the fifth cohort

“Thanks, Hazel,” he said. “Um, what exactly does it mean—your standing for me?” 

“I guarantee your good behavior,” Hazel explained. “I teach you the rules, answer your questions, make sure you don’t disgrace the legion.” 

“And…if I do something wrong?” 

“Then I get killed along with you,” Hazel said. “Hungry? Let’s eat.” 

Then they play war game - the fifth wins - Mars shows up and claims Frank as his son - much to Franks dismay.
They get send on a quest (no wonder) to save Death... in Alaska the land beyond the gods... where Hazel died... raising an immortal giant... that can't die... Well, let's see how that goes.

The only help they get from the Romans are the "great" roman navy... one old rowboat called Pax.

They row out to no man's land cause Hazel  is having a blackout like thing - she relives her life... old life - in no man's land Hazel gets kidnapped by a grass field...????

"HAZEL WAS AN EXPERT ON WEIRD. She’d seen her mother possessed by an earth goddess. She’d created a giant out of gold. She’d destroyed an island, died, and come back from the Underworld.

But getting kidnapped by a field of grass? That was new."

She escapes by summoning a pile of schist... did i forget to mention she can summon all the riches from the earth... with the little problem that if you touch them you die.

The guys rescue her, they see the armies in their way to Camp Jupiter, Percy gets a freak out so the go to a little shop close by... they only have to fight 3 basilisks.
They reach the place it is partially owned by Iris the rainbow goddess (BTW, she is thinking about becoming a Buddhist...???). Frank gets advice from Iris slays the basilisk with his dragon tooth spear.

They go on Portland to visit Phineas a blind man that sees the future, he also gets the title of seriously mother fucking creeper.

They  find a harpy named Ella Phineas wants, but they won't give her up so the make a bet with the dude that sees the future.
They have 2 vials with gorgon blood one from each side one cures all the other gives you a painful death.

Percy makes Gaea trick Phineas into choosing the wrong vial, they get the location of where Death is kept prisoner and of they go to Seattle to Amazon territory.
They get taken prisoners, escape on a untamable horse faster then the speed of sound, they ride all the way to Franks grandmothers house, outside a large quantity of "Canadians" - Laistrygonians -  and again dragon tooth spear to the rescue.

They get to the house, Mars is there and they have a loving father-to-son talk, Frank finds out about the family "power" he can change shape...Nice!!

They fight a smaller war on top of grandmas house they escape take a plane to Alaska.

Here they take a train and get attacked by griffins and get saved by sliding under the butt of a cute blue giant.

 Well and of the go to the city where Hazel lived last before she died and yet again get attacked, but
Arion saves their asses and get them to Death prison.

Of they go up the glacier to face a immortal giant and an army of ghost... nothing can go wrong.
Well, Hazel fights the giant, Frank melts Death chains and Percy faces an army.

Frank releases Death, helps Hazel by turning into a giant bear, they take "Golden boy" to Canada where he can be killed (He is immortal in his birth place...country or something).

They kill the giant find Percy get a golden carriage and a lot of deadly gold weapons.
They go back to Camp Jupiter in a couple of hours. They get in the fight and destroy all of their
enemies.

It is a really good book and all it just has these... moments.
The first time in the presence of Octavian, actually him in general pisses me off
Thanatos is creepy and confusing
But in general a really good boom i love the whole Hazel/Frank thing (I'm a hopeless romantic) I also love Annabeth being Percy's only memory.
The whole back from the dead and the blackouts gives the story an interesting spin.
Franks burned wood stick and the whole old roots and magic make him an extremely interesting person in the book.
Gaea waking of course makes the quest even harder and therefore more interesting.

What can you use this book for in real life:
No secret is too big to share with friends, if they are real friends they will protect the secret the best they are capable of

A real life with pain, suffering but also possibilities are better than living a lie and sheltered from the pain of the world.

Heroes of Olympus: The Lost Hero

"EVEN BEFORE HE GOT ELECTROCUTED, Jason was having a rotten day..."

That is a great start for a book

The Lost Hero is about Jason, Piper and Leo

Well, Jason wakes up in a school bus... with no memory.

Piper thinks she is his girlfriend... but it is only a trick of the mist... that seriously sucks for her.

They get attacked by a classmate that turns out to be a wind monster a venti or anemoi thuella depending on who you ask.

The evil coach turns out to be half goat... a satyr or faun again depending on who you ask.

Jason has  a magic gold coin that turns in to a magic gold sword.

And Leo falls in to the Grand Canyon...

They get picked up by Annabeth (Percy Jackson and the Olympians) that demands to know where Percy is... he is missing, if you hadn't guessed. 

They crash land in the lake and Leo gets claimed by Hephaestus (god of blacksmiths and fire)

Piper gets shown around camp by Annabeth... and that ends with Piper finding out every memory she has with Jason are fake... so of course that ends with tears... 

Leo gets shown around "cabin nine domain" and gets to know about " the cabin nine curse"... yeah they have there own curse... and a giant sycophantic metal dragon.

Piper meets Rachel (The oracle)... and that does not go so well, since Rachel is possessed by Hera  and Piper goes unconscious. And at the same time Juno (Roman version of Hera) shows herself for Jason.

“I hate to tell you this,” Jason said, “but I think your leopard just ate a goddess.”

Oh, and by the way Jason should be dead or Chiron thinks he should be dead.

They go to the camp fire Aphrodite claims Piper... which Piper finds rather horrifying... barbie doll mom and bitchy siblings... life is good...not

Piper Woke up and immediately grabbed a mirror. There were plenty of those in the Aphrodite cabin. 

She sat on her bunk, looked at her reflection and groaned.

She was still gorgeous.

We find out ho Jason's godly parent is ... and there comes a new quest YAAAAAYYYYYY!!!!!

“Child of lightning, beware the earth, 

The giants’ revenge the seven shall birth, 

The forge and dove shall break the cage, 

And death unleash through Hera’s rage.”

Leo gets on the quest by repairing psycho dragon and the reason he can do that is that he has a bit of a fire problem... he busts out in flames from time to time.

"You named him Festus? You know that in Latin, ‘festus’ means ‘happy’? You want us to ride off to save the world on Happy the Dragon?” 

“That’s a yes, bro!” Leo said. 

Well and of they go, first to Boreas god of the North wind, there they meet Khione the Ice Princess

They don't get killed, yayy

They get goin' to on there way to Chicago... but they crash land in Detroit in an abandoned car warehouse... or something.

Festus crash lands on a  line of Porta-Potties toilets just behind the giant warehouse.

She might look cute
but she is EVIL!!!

There "Dirt lady" talks to Leo... she is the reason his mother died...

And he dumps a toilet on her face...o_ 0!?

And the warehouse turns out to be evil cyclops lair... not good.

Jason gets knocked out, Piper gets captured and Leo saves the day.

Leo goes all machine type hero makes it do stuff... like smash cyclops to dust... oh and he burns.

Next stop Chicago to an evil shopping center, there is a lot of crazy stuff like poisons and old armor and forget potions and remember potions and generally stuff like that.

Oh, she also sells long lost friends 

"Um, right. Actually, Your Highness …” He pointed to the gilded cage on the first floor. “That’s our friend down there, Gleeson Hedge. The satyr. Could we … have him back, please?"

Well it ends up with the boys almost killing each other but Piper charm speaking them out of it. 

The whole thing explodes... KABOOM

And King Midas is up next, he turns Piper and Leo to gold and Jason fights Midas's son Lit (short for Lityerses), they escape and end at Pikes Peak, Colorado where Aeolus’s floating palace should be anchored.

They meet the very first werewolf in the world Lycaon and his pack of not so friendly wolves... they almost get killed... but the last minute The Hunters come and save the lead by Thalia... did I mention she is Jason's long-lost sister... or he is her long-lost brother... whatever

They talk and we find out Jason/Thalia's mother was messed up... as in seriously fucked up. 

She gave Jason to Hera and told Thalia that he was dead... 

WTF happened to a loving and pie baking mother?!!?!??!?

They go to Aeolus castle and Leo accidentally spontaneously combusts and melts the bridge... and of course the god is MAAAAD, as in nutty, kooky, batty, psychotic, lunatic, mental, rabid, wacky.

They end up getting his personal assistant fired, almost get killed and generally causing mayhem.

They get whirled to California. They go to Mount Diablo slay a giant and save Pipers dad that has been captured... all in a couple of hours.

They go of to the wolf house to save Hera... There is a  battle an other giant, wolves and Frosty the princess... They save the world and all is well... more or les

"When she had asked him in for tea, her eyes smoky with female sensuality, he’d been hard pressed to refuse her. But he’d been certain they’d end up sharing more than tea, and he’d always made it a policy never to have sex with a woman who might wake up the next morning and claim she didn’t know how he’d gotten into her bed."

Reece is sponsoring a bill for TexaMent, not so much for them as for the environment, so that companies can burn waste tires instead of coal... and the weird thing Devlin, practical Reece's archenemy is in on the bill... the plot thickens... dam dam dam daaaam (supposed to be scary music)...

To those of us that can't lip read he is saying "WTF" 

"I’m a bit startled myself,’ Perhaps someone ought to check the weather report in Hell.’ ”

And Kara is investigating a company called Northstrup... there is this guy going whistleblower... cause they are dumping tocsins in the water... noooot good.

Just fast info they dump tocsins in the water and living around the plant gets you sick... again... noooooot good in the league of mother fucking shit

“Borated polyisobutenyl succinic anhydride nitrogen, ethylene-propene copolymer, and methyl ethyl ketone—these are common components in engine oil, the kind one uses in heavy industrial machinery. They’re in the water in high concentrations.”

“So they’re dumping waste oil in the water instead of paying to have it removed or recycled.”

“That’s my guess. But there’s more. The water has dangerously high levels of methylene chloride. Methylene chloride is an extremely toxic substance found in solvents used to degrease industrial machinery. It looks like Northrup is changing the oil on their machinery, cleaning up, then dumping everything—oil and solvents—into the water.”

Well, Kara and Reece go out... oooh myyy gawd, who would have guessed...

before the date even starts Kara gets embarrassed as her son found her vibrator and ran out with it...

"Mommy, what’s this jiggle stick?”

She looked up to see her son standing not two feet away from Reece with her purple jelly vibrator in his hand. And he was shaking it, making it waggle back and forth."

They go to a Italian place, and it all ends with them making out in his car... YAAAAY :) and decide next date night - Friday

The next night is not as... pleasurable?, as the night before since there is this creep is calling her and giving death threats

“Listen, little girl, you have no idea what you’ve gotten yourself into,” a man whispered, his voice a malevolent hiss. “You can’t handle this, and if you try you’re going to end up dead. Back off now, or face the heat.”

Reece calls her and she thinks he is "The caller" (cool name, right) screams a little at him and he gets all macho man protective and comes over, they kiss and make out... until Holly calls yelling about her sex life...

Kara is going as chaperon for her sons field trip... but she has to cancel cause Northrup is at the state health department...

"Northrup is crawling all over this place. They’ve been here since Monday. You need to get down here. Their attorneys are scouring through our records, telling the state attorney which documents they can include in your open-records request and which they can’t."

She gets over there with Joaquin the papers (best) photographer and there she goes all Commando Ice
Princess on them... is that actually a thing?..
Well and there we meet Galen a 40 something year old lawyer... and also Conner's father... shock, right?..

"She felt the blood drain from her face and fought to keep her expression neutral.

“Allowing my client access to these documents before making them public is completely within the bounds of the law, Ms. McMillan. According to Colorado Revised Statutes—” 

Ms. McMillan. You had his baby, and he calls you Ms. McMillan. 

Cold rage flared in her belly, and she exploded. “Listen, lawyer boy, don’t quote statute at me. I know open-records law inside and out, and there is no provision that entitles a corporation to pick and choose which public documents the public gets to see. Public records are public. Period.”

Galen looked stunned and sputtered. 

I’m not the naive college grad you screwed and dumped, am I?"

Take that asshole.

And she is so exhausted she can't get herself to look pretty or anything so she calls Reece to cancel, but he comes to her place and make dinner and is generally a super nice, cute and gentlemanly... they yet again make out and it yet again ends because someone is calling though this time it is "The Caller"...
The cops come but she can't tell them anything, but they give her a panic button.

Reece invites her to his "cabin" in the woods for a long weekend and of course she says yes.
And they practically fuck 3 days in a row...

When they come back Kara's house is totaled, she goes to Reece's place.
And the next day the happy bobble gets pricked by a police report about the b&e... with both Reece's name and hers...

The next night Kara sleeps at her mothers place and she convinces Kara about Reece...
She comes to the senate, she invites Reece over, when she leaves Galen sees her and get all... MOTHER FUCKING ASSHOLE like

“Yeah. I know her—if you take my meaning.” Prentice nodded, a self-satisfied smirk spreading across his face. “Watch out for her. She’s a hot piece of ass, for sure, but she’s not worth it. All she wants is to snag herself a successful husband. She tried trapping me a few years back. Got knocked up, then looked at me like I was supposed to marry her or some damned thing. I made it real clear I wasn’t going to fall for that old trick, and—”

He comes over and the usual happens... the next morning Reece forgets about the confrontation with Galen and doesn't tell her... let's just say Kara gets more than mildly pissed

She gets ambushed by the girl for a girls night out,
At shit o'clock at night she wakes thinking there are raccoon on her porch, it turns out to be a man (if you can call him that) with a gun... she breaks his nose and he tries to rape her, but gets killed before he can... YAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!... am I evil for being happy about that?


 She goes to the hospital, police cheif Iring and Tom decide she has to go under protective custody, but before she leaves of course she has to be a bitch to Reece that would do anything for her.

And then Reece is accused of murder... uhmm, WHAT!!

She gets over the being angry with him and breaks the whole cloak and dagger thing by telling him how to get to her hotel, they get going on the investigation and get a pretty big lead.

Kara get kidnapped by the CEO of Northrup... and lets see how that ends

Stars:

4 stars
I have never really thought about what investigating reporters do, so it was nice with all the detail... but it kind of took the attention away from the whole "relationship thing" which was kind of irritating not much but a bit...

I love that both Kara and Reece take their job so seriously and love what they do.
I also adore Connor he is so freaking innocent and Kara is such a the best mother she can be and loves him to bits which is so damn lovely.

The relationship problems weren't like big world shattering problems which was really nice.

What can you use this book for in real life:
Stand for what is right and stand strong.

Do what love and love what you do.
