So the pattern is emerging. I first declare the book as cliche pnr and then can’t put it down when it gets past 50 percent.

Fun magnetic and mysterious hero, sassy and sexy heroine, and great chemistry. Love how the romantic suspense is combined with a sense of humour.

I love the male characters in this series, they are strong and powerful and always say dumb stuff when trying to woo their ladies. the women sometimes irritate me as they are such do gooders. in this case Zinnia gets drawn into solving a murder for a client she work with. a little hard to believe she would risk her life just for some random person she knew but other than that I really like the dynamics between the characters.

3 1/2 The characters seemed interchangeable to the first book, in my update below. Even so, I found the mystery and the way it ended to be quite satisfying, especially since I didn't see it coming. More so than the first book, which I had qualms about how it got there. I thought the female character became a little smarter through the book, which she really had to do or it wouldn't have worked either in the relationship or mystery. I wish we got to see a little of the couple of the first book but didn't happen. They were talked about but not seen.
-----------------
About a 1/3 of the way through and have a similar feeling of woman as the first book. Almost interchangeable in their tenacity to the point of stupidity, powerful prism. The man is very similar too in that he is a rich powerful owner of business, powerful psy. Both men were in the conflict war zone and were friends. Slightly different situation/mystery but the characters are so similar it is boggling to keep them separate from the last couple.
