"I really love FATAL AFFAIR."

Fresh Fiction Review

Romance Suspense

In FATAL AFFAIR, meet detective Samantha Holland. While overcoming many problems, Sam has finally made it. She is now a lead detective on some big cases. This is what Sam has wanted her whole life. Years ago, Sam met Nick at a party that she really didn't want to attend, but she promised her sister Angela that she would go with her. The minute Sam and Nick meet, the attraction is there. They spend the night together, with Nick promising that he will call her as soon as he returns from a business trip. Now, Sam is called to a homicide of a state senator. Sam never thought she would encounter Nick at the crime scene. The senator is Nick's best friend. The shock is on both of their faces. The attraction is still there for both of them. Nick tried to explain what happened six years ago, and at first Sam wants nothing to do with his explanation. Sam's main goal is to find out who would murder the senator and why. Sam also explains to Nick why this is not a good time for them to resume their relationship. After all, she is the lead detective and he is a prime witness. Wow is all I can say on the writing of Marie Force. I really love FATAL AFFAIR. The one problem is I finished it way to quickly. I feel her writing is right there with Debra Webb and Tiffany Snow. Marie Force shows how women can have important jobs and handle personal and business matters. I can't wait to read the third one in this series. I just finished the second.

SUMMARY

Walking the thin blue line… Detective Sergeant Sam Holland of the Washington, DC, Metro Police needs a big win to salvage her career—and her confidence—after a disastrous investigation. The perfect opportunity arises when Senator John O'Connor is found brutally murdered in his bed, and Sam is assigned to the case. Matters get complicated when Sam has to team up with Nick Cappuano, O'Connor's friend and chief of staff…and the man Sam had a memorable one-night stand with years earlier. Their sexual chemistry still sizzles, and Sam has to fight to stay focused on the case. Sleeping with a material witness is another mistake she can't afford—especially when the bodies keep piling up.
