Samantha Spade works for the Air Force testing new
inventions to see how much use they would be to Uncle Sam.
Her technical skills don't match the rest of her team but
she is in command. When a new gadget comes in that is too
cool to resist, Sam takes it out for an unauthorized trial
run. She doesn't expect to see a masked gunman start
shooting or to watch an MP run him down.
Border Patrol Agent Jeff Mitchell and Sam are dating, as
much as their schedules allow. When Sam goes out into the
far reaches of the desert to test the equipment, there are
lags in their relationship.
The MP, Sergeant Roth, has two children to pick up so agrees
to pick up her children while she is checked out at the
hospital. When the gunman turns out to be a soldier that
served in Afghanistan with Sgt. Roth, the investigation
takes an unusual turn.
Once again Sam finds herself involved in some things that
are none of her business and the danger to everyone is very
real. Not only that, Jeff seems to be spending more time
with the Roth children than with Sam.
Ms. Lovelace has been a longtime favorite of mine in the
romance genre and her mystery series is a good way for her
to expand her repertoire. The characters are interesting
and quirky. The interaction of the Air Force and Border
Patrol keeps the interest level high as well as the cool
gadgets she talks about. The mysteries are well-plotted and
not easily solved by the reader. If you like light-hearted
banter and some unusual settings, this is a series that you
will thoroughly enjoy.
