"Hard To Put Down Read!"

Tessa Novak is working very hard Investigative reporter for a Denver newspaper. Her life is about to be turned upside down thanks for her need for coffee and being in the wrong place at the wrong time. She is witness to a drive by shooting that leaves a young girl dead. Thinking she is the best person to write the article she sets out as a way of helping the young girl, and as a way of working through her trauma. But, undercover special agent Julian Darcangelo does not want Tessa to write that article. If she does she's going to put his investigation in danger, and point the bad guys in her direction all in one fell swoop. Now he needs to keep her safe while keeping his heart uninvolved...

Ms. Clare's latest effort a spin off from her first contemporary "Extreme Exposure" has solidified this talented ladies spot in the romantic suspense genre. "Hard Evidence" is a strong stand alone read you won't want to put down. The fast-paced story is well balanced with the suspense and romance being seamlessly blended. The chemistry between Julian and Tessa sizzles from start to finish and I didn't want to see the story come to its end. Ms. Clare has penned another winner and is an author I will buy by name alone.
