Chasing Frost by Isabel Jolie
4.0
What a turnaround! The FBI agent is an undercover female agent and the hero is a business guru, everyone's favourite guy! He's also not the strapping 6ft plus hero you usually find. But good things come in shorter packages - do not let Chase's shorter stature make you think he's less than capable.
Sadie AKA Sydney is newly arrived in NYC and finds herself immediately working undercover investigating BB&E for possible mishandling of funds. The main target of her investigation is Chase but from her first day, she realises that he is everyone's favourite guy. The guy clients love cos he can get them what they want and he'll come through on all his promises. His colleagues and clients would be heartbroken if theallegations are true!
Chase may be the life and soul of the party but he is also business savvy and has the bank balance to prove it. He's also become aware of some irregularities but thinks it's down to the recent demise of the account manager. But as things progress he and Sydney realise that someone is out to frame him for the fraud!
They spend more and more time together, between the gym and get togethers with his friends. They slowly open to each other but Chase is still left reeling when Sadie's true employment is revealed!
Sadie is so used to men trying to one-up her that she doesn't really know how to deal with Chase's open nature. He wants nothing from her except her time and company. Sadie didn't want to become her father, always mission first, but that's just what she is becoming. Chase and Sadie bring out the best in each other and I really enjoyed their dynamic. I loved the way Sadie was just absorbed into Chase's group and how tortured she was as she got to know them but also learned how deeply Chase might be involved and thought of how devastated they would be - not your typical Agent response and reaction!
My first read from this author but I doubt it will be my last!
