Detective Alan Chevalier is living in his own personal hell. His boss wants him fired, his boss’s wife wants him in bed, his ex-wife still calls him all the time, his sister ran away from home and his only relief are the bottles of bourbon he drinks to num the pain. And unless he finds the “Quarter Killer”, he’ll soon be looking for a new job. Then Molly Laraway enters his life. When the police couldn’t find her sister’s murderer, Molly takes it upon herself to help with the investigation, and Alan just wishes she would go home. But Molly sticks around despite his desire and soon, the unlikely pair find themselves getting closer and closer until Molly helps the hard edged detective begin the journey into love.
Submission wraps up the Dangerous Liaisons series and ties up all the loose story threads. The mixture of first and third person takes a little getting used to at first, but it seems to work for the Karayiannis. However, I think the hero and heroine are arguably the most unlikely pairing I’ve ever seen in a romance novel. It’s worth reading this book just to try to figure out what the gorgeous lady sees in the scruffy detective. On the other hand, the suspense is top notch and once you reach the middle of the book, you don’t want to put it down until you reach the very end.
