Lethal Corruption

GIVEAWAY

CHOATE, JANE M.

LETHAL CORRUPTION

Uncovering dangerous secrets could bury them both for good.

Nothing will stop deputy district attorney Shannon DeFord from prosecuting the biggest case of her career -- not even a warning at knifepoint. Unsure of who to trust, she accepts security expert Rafe Zuniga's daily protection. But when the threats turn deadly, they both know this is more than a typical criminal trial. Together, can they unravel a conspiracy or will the truth get them killed?

My Review:

I think I might have turned permanently blue from holding my breath all through this read. Tons of action including choreographed fight scenes that had me ducking and rolling right along with Rafe and Shannon! And the intricate suspense adds even more edge-of-your-seat stuff. Love that Shannon is a crusader on the side of justice and Choate made me feel all the exasperation and despair and anger over what these unscrupulous people are doing to innocent, hardworking folks. I so love it when the smarmy, corrupt guys get their comeuppance in the end though. That made my heart happy. :-)

And so did Rafe, by the way. He's got taciturn, brooding hero down pat, but with glimmers of humour. The last thing he wants to do is play bodyguard to the DDA, especially when he meets her and can't help but be intrigued. I do so love a reluctant love interest. :-) And this ex-military man is full of surprises! Loved peeling back the layers of his back story.

Also love the pithy lines of dialogue and surprise bursts of humour sprinkled throughout this intense story. Like this:

"Rafe decided he should put in for hazard pay. Shopping was a blood sport... Battle-hardened soldiers who had faced the enemy without flinching would have cowered at the hordes of women who attacked the sales racks in a fevered frenzy." (p 51)

Bwahahahaha!

Another riveting romantic suspense from Jane M. Choate.
