Book Review - Changing the Rules by Catherine Bybee (Boked 1 Richter Series)

ABOUT THE BOOK

Description

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Catherine Bybee comes the steamy first novel in her new adrenaline-fueled Richter series.

As an employee of MacBain Security and Solutions, Claire Kelly can certainly hold her own. Armed with an impressive set of covert skills, she’s more than prepared to tackle any job that comes her way…except one involving Cooper Lockman.

Cooper and Claire used to work together before his feelings for her sent him packing to Europe for six long years. But now he’s back and determined to ignore the still-smoldering heat that lingers between them.

Their current mission: go undercover together at a California high school to root out the mastermind behind a prostitution ring targeting young girls. The closer they get to the truth and the closer they get to each other, however, the deadlier their task becomes. As Claire and Cooper risk their lives to bring down their target, will their hearts be the final casualties?

REVIEW

I was so happy when I found out that Catherine Bybee was starting-up a new series and picking-up the character of Claire from the First Wives Series.  It was clear there was some tension between Cooper and Claire, which considering Claire's age would not have been okay at that point, so catching up with them in the future and meeting again was the perfect way to handle that relationship.  For anyone who hasn't read those books, having that history is not really important and Bybee is great filling in the details you need without boring those of us who already know them.  The story is one of my favorites of Bybee's so far.  The characters are both so well written and not too "perfect" with both showing some immaturity at times, but still learning from it.  The mystery was also well done and the development flowed very naturally.

OVERALL RATING - 5 STARS!

MATURITY RATING - 18+ a little steamy
