Another Harlequin Code Red, this is about chief of detectives Adam Guthrie. He's the perfect mate for attorney Faith Lawton, a good-hearted, highly polished defense powerhouse who keeps demolishing police evidence in court. Casually acquainted through work, Adam and Faith get close quickly when a sniper's fire narrowly misses them and kills her client outside the courthouse. Following his attraction to Faith, Adam offers her protection. On impulse, Faith seduces him and they enjoy an intimate relationship. This author does a nice job of developing the romance along the way, with the action as more of a backdrop. The suspense is short-lived and the shooter quickly identified, but he doesn't get apprehended until the dangerous conclusion. This book managed to combine the essential romance ingredients with flying bullets. With its likeable downtown characters and setting, it was a great foil for the outdoorsy, high octane suspense of my first Code Red novel. If the others in the series are as good as the first two, I'll be plowing through them in no time.
This CODE Red is HOT!

I'm hooked on the Code Red series and Julie Elizabeth Leto's contribution is a fantastic read. LINE OF FIRE picks up the pieces from the previous book without beating the reader over the head with repeated story lines. Whether you've read any of the other books or not, you'll enjoy the emotional roller coaster Ms. Leto sends attorney Faith Lawton and detective Adam Guthrie on. The book opens with a sniper, a body, and a question about the next target that will keep Faith and Adam looking over their shoulders for most of the book. Fast pacing and hot love scenes make this one of the best Code Red books to date--don't let this one pass you by!
