"Thoroughly Enjoyable!"

Kelli Hatfield has just returned to Washington, DC after spending several years with the NYC police force. She decides, this one time, to throw caution to the wind and have a one night stand with the handsome man she meets in a local cop hangout.

David McCoy is known as the Casanova Cop. He's stunned to find that the woman he met and bedded the night before is none other than his newly-assigned partner!

Kelli tries to smooth things over by telling David she'll act as if that night never happened. David says 'nothing doing' as he'd like nothing other than to pick up where they left off.

But Kelli knows what would happen should her father find out she was dating the son of his old nemesis and doesn't want to take the risk. However, the heart has a way of washing away all resolve.

When a series of sex crimes results in the death of a woman, Kelli volunteers for the task force, thinking not only will she help find the DC Exterminator, as he's become known, but she also has something personal at stake. Her mother was killed by a similar sexual predator years ago -- a crime which remains unsolved.

Tori Carrington pulls out all the stops in this seductive story of nonstop action and sexy repartee. Although this is #4 of five books in the Magnificent McCoy Men series, the books stands on its own quite nicely and the reader never feels lost.

This was a thoroughly enjoyable read from start to finish. It's recommended for anyone wanting a quick, satisfying read, and a darned good story.
