The second title in Samantha’s HotWires focuses on Sarah Jessup, who was forced to take a break from investing computer crimes for the police. Visiting a small bread and breakfast on Maryland’s Eastern Shore she runs into another cop, Logan Sullivan, who’s also nominally on vacation. Logan tracked his partner who disappeared in this area, through pornographic pictures posted on the Internet. Logan and Sarah actively try to conceal their jobs from each other, but eventually their attraction brings them together as they work to solve the mystery behind Logan's missing partner.
I think this is Samantha’s best work yet. The romance between Sarah and Logan is slow to evolve, which is exactly what you would expect for two people on vacation to pursue widely different agendas. This makes the characters very believable and causes a few smiles along the way. Couple that with a strong plot and a little action and you’ll find yourself wanting to read just a few more pages even though you know you shouldn’t.
Score: Great
