Book Synopsis

Cheating spouse? Stolen jewelry? Missing person?



Call Frances--Frankie--Post. A private detective with a trick of two up her sleeve and a few skeletons of her own.



What starts out as a simple missing person's case dumps Frankie and her lover Jack right in the crosshairs of a dangerous human trafficking organization. With lives on the line, bad blood and old wounds finally see the light of day. And Frankie and Jack are forced to realize: The past always catches up with you.

My Thoughts

L.M. Pruitt has taken a simple premise and created an extraordinary story and one of the coolest female characters I have had the pleasure to read in a very long time. Taken: A Frankie Post Novel is the first in what I hope is a long running series with P.I. Frankie Post and her detective partner/lover/best friend Jack Waters. If the next book is half as fun as this one count me in with no reservations. The two main characters are crafty, clever, somewhat shady but oh so mouth watering steamy together that you forget that this is a suspenseful mystery as the scenes with Frankie and Jack always seem to somehow end up with sexy byplay! Not only was this a book that totally kept me riveted to my seat it also was fast and easy to follow from the first page to the last. The story line was in no way lighthearted but it had lighter moments that cropped up to break up the tension for the reader. I am now a firm fan of the author as have previously enjoying reading her first book in another series that I am looking forward to getting to further pursue if time ever permits. If you enjoy fast paced banter, quick plot changes and quite a few hot and heavy scenes that explore the sexual exploits of Frankie and Jack very explicitly than this one will keep you reading until it ends!

Great review, I have put this series on my wishlist. Do you think it is a cozy mystery series? Or too much romance for that?

Cozy mystery no, down and dirty hot sex with no holds barred fierce investigative teamwork and some Badass crazy antics to get the jib done yes.

Aurian there is actually nothing cozy about Frankie Post, she is smart mouthed, sarcastic, intelligent and all out sexy. Not your normal take home to meet the parents type at all.

Lol, not what I expected from your review, but those books can be my kind of thing too. Nothing paranormal?
