Pertenece a las seriesAlex and Cassidy (1)
FBI agent Alexis Toles is dispatched to New Rochelle, New York, to investigate threatening letters sent to Congressman Christopher O'Brien, and to protect his ex-wife, Cassidy, and six-year-old son, Dylan. But when she gets to New Rochelle, Alex discovers that there is more to the situation than simple stalking or political agendas; she finds that she has growing romantic feelings for Cassidy-and that the feelings are mutual. As Alex and Cassidy explore their budding romance, they must surmount many obstacles in explaining their relationship to those around them, including Dylan. All the while, the investigation continues, and the disturbing, convoluted, and complicated web surrounding the threats begins to unravel, placing the characters' lives in grave danger. Intersection is a taut political thriller that combines the action and suspense found in hit television shows like 24 with the insight and drama found in the widely popular fiction of LGBT authors such as R. E. Bradshaw and Stacey D'Erasmo. It is sure to appeal to fans of intrigue, mystery, and romance, and to provide positive role models for marginalized groups and relationships.

Less successful, imho, is the thriller side of the book. I appreciate the care the author took in developing the convoluted plot. The political machinations, wheeling and dealing, and influence peddling that drive the action and events in the book was believably done. But because the focus kept shifting back to the romance and drama, the edge and tension that is so critical to a thriller's success kept getting diffused by the slower pace of daily life of the lead characters that the author takes us through. There are some scenes that could have been better placed for a more suspenseful read. And some stretched believability. These are major twist spoilers so avoid if you haven't read the book.
Overall, I would rate this a very good first effort. Maybe a good editor can help tighten up the next book a bit. ( )
