I like the story line, but it is kind of choppy and in some places the author gave too much information. And it ended in a cliffhanger. I am not fond of cliffhangers.

Lori Daniels is an excellent Police Officer. Her personal life, however, is a mess. She has frequent casual sex with men she works with. This leads to a messy situation on her latest case, A former love is working for a drug cartel. Her boss, another former lover, is setting her up for the crime and her current boyfriend has an ego problem.

I have received the book for free from Edelweiss for an honest review. The plot of police corruption is a very good idea. The main problem I had was too many characters and not enough of Lori.

In the subplot is the problem of Lori and her casually having sex with her male co-workers and male superiors. She doesn't address why she attracted to men so easily. No one mentions a conflict of interest with her working with her exes. I did enjoy the scenes with the police solving the mystery.… (más)
