3.5

This book was a blast. It has a nice mixture of romance and mystery, sweet and hot. While reading I felt like it was a prelude for Nick and Kelly's story since a few times there were insecurities of how they'd go forward in their relationship, but in the end they made big decisions, and I'm excited for them.

But just like with the latest Cut & Run book, I'm again a bit miffed at how Sidewinder's last op was just brushed aside, when it so obviously affected Nick. I almost feel like Roux is being extra careful with not revealing anything about it so that she can tell the entire story some day. I have to wonder - and hope! - if there'll be a book about it.

Nick and Kelly were fabulous as always. I love their more easygoing outlook on life, each other, and just pretty much everything surrounding them.

I thought the mystery was again excellent, Roux does the good old-fashioned mystery really well. I'm both ecstatic and sad she'll be moving forward to not-so-romance based storytelling, but as long as there's going to be some smexy times in her books, I think I'll survive. ( )

This is what I want to know: Nick and Kelly invade Zane and Ty's story. Getting their own scenes san Z and T, and being annoying , but Zane and Ty get phone calls on this one? Maybe this is why this 'new' series is boring.

I tried to read the book when it first came out. Couldn't finish it (nor the first one). But when the audiobooks came out for both series, I listened. I don't care much for Nick and Kelly. They seem silly to me, and I can't feel the chemistry.
still had hard time to finish, only reason i finished them was my long commute.

3 stars because of Julian and JD. ( )

I have enjoyed reading about Nick and Kelly in the other Sidewinder and Cut & Run books, but this was the first time that I read of them having their own adventure. They are on the hunt for a treasure in order to solve a crime. The storyline is interesting and the entertainment value is high. It's full of mystery, history, and sexiness.




Nick and Kelly are pretty openly affectionate. Nick is authoritative and tough. Kelly is class-clownish and tough.

"This is the staff sergeant coming out," Kelly told Hagan quietly. "I'm used to it."
Hagan looked him up and down, narrowing his eyes. "You come like a fire hose when he gives you an order, don't you?"
"Only if he tells me to," Kelly countered with a smirk.

And it even mentions HP.

"Impressive. They are rumored to have made incredible breakthroughs, including gaining mastery in alchemy and, most famously, creating the philosopher's stone."
"Like Harry Potter?" Kelly asked.
