Wicked Pleasures
4 Stars

Series note:While this is book #2 in the mini-series, it is possible to read and enjoy this installment as a standalone. As an aside, a short glance at some of the reviews for book #1 reveals several problematic tropes cheating, and an unlikeable heroine, which are thankfully not present in this book.

Regina and Linc's romance is very engaging. The heat level of some Harlequin Blaze romances is sometimes surprising, and this is an excellent example as the couple's chemistry is scorching from the start. Both are appealing characters with interesting and well-developed backstories, and Regina's past is particularly relevant to the suspense plot.

Speaking of which, the action surrounding the stalker plot is fast-paced with an exciting climax and resolution. The one caveat is the lack of information surrounding the villain's prison escape and the motivation for his behavior, which is only clarified at the end.

Overall, this is an entertaining story that is actually more romantic suspense than contemporary romance.

I came across Working Stiff when I was browsing at the library the other day. I saw the author’s name, recognized it, skimmed the blurb, and said ‘what the hell.’ Go figure that I find out after I start reading that this is actually the fourth book in the Sofie Metropolis series. Even so, I still read and enjoyed this one.

Sofie Metropolis is a P.I. out of Queens who takes on a case of a missing body - a missing dead body – for her aunt, and a case to try and find the real killer of a teenage girl so that a young man does not end up on trial for a murder he didn’t commit. This is something of a change from the cheating spouse and missing pet cases that Sofie is used to, but she is determined to succeed nonetheless.

In addition to following along with the cases there is the sheer insanity of working with a superstitious office manager who is sure that there is a neighborhood vampire around, dealing with a large Greek family and the meddling that comes along with the family, and of course a big Austrailian bounty hunter.

Working Stiff has a little bit of everything in it, mystery, romance (though not in the traditional, happily ever after sense), family… you get the jist. All in all it was a great read.

Many of the reviews compare the Metro books to My Big Fat Greek Wedding, but personally I find it’s not as outrageous as the movie was. However! The authors (Tori Carrington is actually Tony and Lori Karayianni) do a great job of winding a modern P.I. tale around the true Greek stereotypes that have been passed on over the years. I look forward to going back and reading the first three books in the series and then the fifth book which is scheduled for release this week.

Loved this book. Unfortunately this is in the middle of a series. These books seems to be pretty standalone, but it might be a good idea to tart at the beginning.

This is the first book that I have read by this author. I enjoyed it a great deal. There was a bit of everything... a bit of mystery a bit of romance and lots of action. Great for a weekend read
