I read an early copy of this book. I was not disappointed. Meg and Chris have sizzling chemistry together. The action is crisp, the secondary characters intriguing enough in their own right, and a bad guy who will make you cringe with the things he says to Meg. I was rooting for Meg and Chris from the beginning. You'll have to read and find out if they make their temporary working relationship into something deeper or not. Two thumbs up for a fantastic newly published author.

Wild Card Undercover is a thrill-a-minute romance that throws together Meg, a "damsel-in-distress," with Chris, an undercover FBI agent. But this damsel is smart and has a huge hand in her own rescue--and maybe Meg will end up saving Chris as well. From the first moment these two meet, there's a crackling chemistry that they recognize. Working undercover, they have to pretend to be romantically involved which puts them each in doubt of how reciprocal their feelings are. They both have powerful reasons to stifle the romance before it takes off, but they fit together so perfectly, you can't help root for them to overcome the obstacles and finally get together. But those obstacles include some super shady bad guys and a whole lot of good guy ethical rules. All of that keeps the tension taut until the last page.
This is the first in Lemor's Love on the Line trilogy. I'm looking forward to the next in the series.

An exciting and entertaining read, this book grabs you from the first sentence and never lets go.
On the face of it, Chris and Meg are two characters that are easy to fall in love with -- Meg as the damsel in distress, and Chris stepping up as the quintessential (and always gorgeous) knight in shining armor. Kari Lemor embraces the stereotype and has fun playing with it. But, lucky for us, she didn't stop there. The characters she has created are wonderfully multifaceted. Chris isn't all polish and shine. He's a war veteran with a past that still haunts him and family issues that he struggles with. And Meg isn't just a beautiful girl crying out for help. She possesses that vulnerability, but she's also a strong woman, determined to stand on her own feet and do her part. Like Chris, she has a past she wishes she could walk away from, and what we get are the two of them standing together to try to put that past where it belongs.
The author does a stellar job of balancing the humor with all the drama and action as they unfold. The plot moves well. Moreno is about as despicable as villains get, and Dave and Tina are a very enjoyable sidenote in this story that I did not expect.
Definitely worth the read! Greatly looking forward to the next book in the series and seeing what Kari Lemor has in store for us next!

I have to admit, I don't read much romance, but found myself pleasantly surprised when an early reader's copy of this novel fell into my lap. The book begins by Chris saving the day for Meg, swooping her up and out of harm's way, but that's just the beginning of the action in this thriller. Meg and Chris toe the line between their professional and personal lives, with sexual tension jumping at the reader from every page. The villain of the book is skeezy on several levels and definitely will give you a shudder or two, and when Chris and Meg go up against him, you'll be cheering them on. Romance readers should add this right to the top of their TBR piles.
