Unlawful Contact
4 Stars
Synopsis:
While looking into the disappearance of a young woman, investigative journalist, Sophie Alton, is led to the girl’s brother, a convicted killer who uses her to escape from prison. Little does she know that the convict is someone from her own past and the two are about to embark on a perilous journey toward truth and passion.
Review:
Intense, romantic and steamy.
One of Pamela Clare's strenghts is her ability to write about controversial and intriguing issues and this book is no different. The plot centers on the abuse suffered by female prisoners while incarcerated and even though the story is not as disturbing as in Hard Evidence, and the identity of the villain can be guessed quite early on, the story is gripping and action packed. It had me spellbound from the very first words of the prologue and on the edge of my seat until the absolute end.
Characterization is another one of Clare's amazing skills. Sophie and Hunt are an outstanding couple. Sophie's belief in Hunt and her willingness to sacrifice herself makes her one of my favorite heroines. Hunt is an amazing hero (tortured just like I love them). His honor in the face of immense suffering is incredible and his love for Sophie is simply breathtaking.
I enjoyed catching up with some of the characters from the previous books and can’t wait to read the next one.

This book is awful. There are so many ridiculous scenes. I don’t even know where to start on my rant. The part where I just gave up was the sushi scene. I’m serious. Am I the only one who thought that scene was disgusting? I tried this series as it’s highly rated. I won’t be continuing to read it.

Almost didn't read this one because I found the heroine in the previous book to be annoying as hell. But, I'm glad I picked this up.
We start out with a flashback to the heroine and the hero hooking up as teenagers. Cut to the present and he's in prison and she's going there to interview him. Low and behold she doesn't realize she's going to see the guy from her high school days. When she does find out his identity she reminisces that she never knew his full name back then. I had to roll my eyes at that. If you have a huge crush on a guy when you're a teen you find out stuff about him especially his name!
But I liked this story a lot more than the previous one. I felt the suspense was good and rooted for these characters to have their HEA.
