Taha Hussien _aha_ussien — Debut FBI Special Agent Lucas Vasco has been working undercover to find evidence to bring down the mobster Joey Silvano. But just as he finds an opportunity to go through Silvano's office he hears voices outside the room and escapes by diving out the window. Unfortunately he's been seen, his getaway car takes a bullet to one of the tyres and he's done-in his ankle. Luckily for Luc, there's a car stalled at the traffic lights. Katie McCabe found her fiance with another woman. Six months and a job later, she still hasn't moved on. When her car stalls at the lights and a dark-haired stranger dives into the front seat and bullets start flying she's got no choice but to gun it out of there. After coming to a dead end in a quarry Katie is forced to defend herself against Frankie Silvano, Joey's son. With the quick arrival of the police Frankie is arrested. He's never been collared before - no arrests, no warrants and he's not taking it very well. He's got revenge on his mind and Katie in his sights. Author Betsy Horvath writes with a really good sense of humour. The plot, the prose, the main characters were great. But what lifted this above your average romantic suspense was the really funny situations and dialogue. (I've always loved Zorro. Now I have another reason to smile when I think of him). If you're overly sensitive to the f-bomb. Beware. It's used a lot. Sometimes I think its use can be appropriate. As for instance when Joey or Frankie use it every second word. It just sounds exactly how a mobster would talk. But when every man and his dog uses it, then it's overdone and loses its impact. There was a sub-plot involving Katie's parents. It seemed unnecessary, unless of course this book is the first in a series. I did check the author's website and though there is no mention of a follow-up, I imagine there will be since there is at least another story here with Katie's foster sister Melanie and Justin, a former partner of Luc's in the FBI. Hold Me is a very good debut, a recommended read for those who enjoy their romantic suspense with a side-serving of humour. ARC courtesy of Carina Press via NetGalley
