Recommendation
There is a lot of action packed into this novella and it shows promise for an exciting series. I like the mystery surrounding April’s amnesia and what actually happened the night of the murder. I tried to keep my expectations low as this is a prequel and I knew it would be short and fast, but I do feel it was slightly rushed at times. My hope is that it is was just setting the foundation quickly for a suspense filled, sexy journey. I did love the chemistry and attraction between April and Jonah and look forward to more!
Excerpts
Jonah's gaze went to her soft breasts beneath the cotton T-shirt and the long shapely legs showing beneath the hem. An image flashed in his head of sliding up her T-shirt, bending her over the table and easing the lust he'd felt since she walked into the kitchen.
"If I had my way," he said, "I'd haul you straight back to bed, but unfortunately, we're expected."
"Tell me to stop," he said. "Remind me who you are and why this can't happen."
She slid her fingers into the silky black hair curling at the nape of his neck and leaned into him. "I don't want you to stop. We don't know what might happen tomorrow. We both want this. We deserve tonight."
Publisher synopsis
Don’t miss the thrilling prequel to New York Times bestselling author Kat Martin’s brand-new series, Maximum Security!
Private investigator Jonah Wolfe knows trouble when he sees it. So when April Vale storms into his office at Maximum Security, all his warning signs flash red. April’s been accused of murder, except she has no memory of how she woke up in her coworker’s bed—drenched in his blood, as he was shot with her gun. As the campaign manager for the mayor, April’s job and life are on the line if she doesn’t figure out who’s trying to frame her. But the clock is ticking, and the pair must find the murderer…before April winds up dead.
