"First book in new author's mystery series is suspenseful and sexy."

Cally Wilde is wealthy and beautiful. She has everything she needs and wants, except love. Cally also has a gun, which she uses to kill an attacker. When she's attacked again, sexy detective Evan Paley of the LAPD is on the case. He wants Cally safe - and in his bed. Cally hopes the one thing she doesn't have - love - can finally be hers, since she's falling hard and fast for the delicious detective.

LOADED is just that - loaded with emotion, sexual tension, greed, familial rivalry and jealousy, that all add up to a suspenseful, sexy tale. Shattuck's debut novel is a welcome addition to my library. I can't wait to read her next one.
