Enjoyable and quick read. Wasn't impressed to pick up the next book in the series though.

An enjoyable romantic suspense with likeable characters. I figured out who did it early on, but was still impressed by how Force introduced a number of possible suspects. I will definitely continue with the series.

This was trying too hard to be like the In Death series and failing miserably, which is a shame, cos I was really looking forward to enjoying a similar series, with a badass couple, but this was a pale imitation, the love was way too insta, and the policwork was so shoddy, eve def spoiled me, but after seeing her work what Sam was doing here was laughable, and ig the fact that we had a lot of telling instead of showing really didn't help matters either, shame, but it is what it is

I went up to x2.5 and I mightve finished it, but then I started reading other stuff and I just couldn't find it in me to pick this back up

I feel like if I had read this book before reading State Affairs, I would have given it a 5 star review but since I didn't, I think it's deserving of a 4 star review. It definitely had more spiciness than I was expecting but I really enjoyed the mystery and the romance as well as the side characters. I am eagerly waiting for the next book to become available and hear more about Sam and Nick.

Good friends and fellow readers introduced me to Marie Force's writing and her two spin-off series, Fatal and First Family. Even though I started with the wrong series order, I decided to start from the beginning and in order.
Sam and Nick's love story had a bump of six years, but bad luck for the young Senator Johnson brought them back together with a couple of obstacles.
Fatal Affair is a thrilling and romantic page-turner that will captivate readers who crave a suspenseful mystery with a strong female protagonist and a sizzling romance. It is perfect for fans of intricate plots, steamy chemistry, and a dash of political intrigue.
I love Sam's family and everybody who surrounds her. I also like how the author shows that people with learning difficulties can become lieutenants in the police force. Sam's dyslexia does not hold her back; she knows how to work with it and has people she can trust to help her.
I love how committed Nick is to Sam. He genuinely loves her for the person she is, and their communication on aspects of life is admirable.
