"A good romance"

In Chicago, physicist Mickey Coleman regrets getting drunk at a bachelorette party and behaving out of character by having sex with John an intern, who taped their session. John tries to blackmail Mickey into more sex by threatening to release the tape on the internet. Though that would shatter her father and hurt her career studying galaxy density differentiation at the Astrophysical Science Research Center, Mickey decides to steal the tape.

She tells her bachelorette pact pal Beth about her dilemma. Beth arranges for Mickey to meet thief Dominic Corlucci, who wants to say no, but reluctantly agrees to help Mickey. As they work together to snatch the tape, they fall in love. She wonders if she can reform this bad boy unaware that the thief who captured her heart is an undercover cop trying to find evidence of a kickback scheme involving a local alderman.

This is an engaging contemporary romance starring a brilliant scientist and an intelligent police officer. The tale is fun to follow as Mickey realizes she is falling in love with the wrong type of guy and Dominic knows his work does not allow for permanent relationships. The latest Bachelorette Pact tale is a wonderful under the covers romance.
