"A Romance That's Fun To Get Caught Up In..."

Take one sexy, cynical and hyper-focused CIA agent, one beautiful and elusive thief, add an attraction that can't be denied, set the scene in beautiful and romantic Paris, and you have an elegant and suspenseful story that was mighty difficult to put down!

Sam Tremaine needs the help of Juliette Morris to bring down an international criminal. He is aware of her true identity and he possesses the resources to persuade her that her cooperation will definitely be in her best interest. Incarceration can be a great motivator. While he felt that he couldn't trust her as far as he could throw her, he wrestled with an immediate and undeniable attraction; and the more time he spent with her, the more his preconceived notions (and libido) would be challenged.

Juliette was a woman with a mission. Her ability to be everywhere and nowhere at once serves her well in achieving her objectives, and though they share a common adversary, her reasons are personal, and she isn't above using Sam to help her achieve her goal. Juliette's emotional well-being hinges on the completion of events she had long ago set in place. Juliette is sure that the fact that she seems to lose her focus whenever Sam is near is but a minor irritation. As long as she maintained her legendary control, he couldn't chip away at her heart, right?

I found this to be an elegantly written and well paced read, though I had a difficult time becoming fully invested in Sam and Juliette at first. Ms. Brant paints a very intense and detailed picture, and I really loved her attention to detail with respect to Juliette's profession. I held my breath more than once during the descriptions of her escapades. The tender moments between Sam and Juliette will make you sigh; the moment they hook up will make you break out in a sweat! I enjoyed ENTRAPMENT and look forward to others in "The Tremaine Tradition" series.

Summary

She couldn't refuse him...

Sam Tremaine could charm the thorns off roses, and Juliette Morris both wanted and hated him. The CIA agent had learned her secret identity--and had used it to gain her help to catch an international criminal. Even worse, she was falling for this man of honor who had every reason to despise her.

He'd thought her a liar and a heartbreaker. But in Juliette, Sam discovered a woman whose loyalty and warmth shook him to the core. Hiding his growing feelings would take every covert skill he possessed, but Juliette's future depended on her never learning she'd stolen his heart....
