The second installment in Department 6 series has Roderick Guerrero, the best friend of the heroine in the first book, as the hero. The topic of this book is really in the now, immigration. Brenda Novak apparently did a lot of homework. She painted a realistic picture of the problem with sympathetic presentation from both sides of the fence. I can't help but sometimes felt like I was reading a documentary. That is not typically a bad thing. I do love my reading meaty. But the pacing can need some work since I found the two books I've read of hers so far slowed to a craw in the middle. Another minus is the mood. Eventhough we get most of the perspectives coming from the two leads who were both on the law enforcement side, I still felt like a strayed dog getting kicked over and over the whole time while they were being picked on left and right. By the end of the book I was practically depressed With that being said, Brenda Novak is an author I wouldn't abandon. I admire that she's not afraid to touch difficult issues. Her books are gritty and definitely will leave you impression sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

HTML: Twelve people have been shot at point-blank range and left to rot in the desert sun. It's Sophia St. Claire's job to do something about it. She's Bordertown, Arizona's new chief of police--and she's out of her depth. Help arrives in the form of Department 6 hired gun Roderick Guerrero. As far as Sophia's concerned, his involvement only makes things worse. Maybe he's managed to turn his life around. And maybe he's a good investigator. But as the bastard son of a wealthy local rancher, he has a history he can't get past. A history that includes her. Rod refuses to leave town until the killer is caught. He's not worried about the danger posed by some vigilante. It's Sophia who threatens him. Because he's used to risking his life--but his heart is another story.

Intense and exciting from the very first page.
The characterization in this book is exceptional. Each and every person in the small town from the hero and heroine to the lowliest deputy and the town prostitute are well written and no one is superfluous.
The balance between the romance and the suspense is excellent. Rod and Sophie have incredible chemistry and their lively banter is highly entertaining. Despite her inexperience with law enforcement, Sophie is always in control and never falls into the TSTL category. Rod, an Ex-Navy SEAL, is smokin' and his protective streak is so endearing.
The mystery is a compelling amalgamation of subplots that are cleverly interwoven. While they do have the potential to become confusing, they, nevertheless, come together quite seamlessly and it is easy to keep track of the twists and turns.
Overall, a very enjoyable romantic suspense read and I look forward to reading the final installment in the trilogy. ( )
