Cavanaugh Fortune
Marie Ferrarella
Harlequin Romantic Suspense, Apr 1 2015, $5.50
ISBN: 9780373279135
Ignoring nepotism charges from those who he
believes can’t meet the APD quality level, Aurora Police Chief Brian Cavanaugh
assigns his second cousin police officer Valri Cavanaugh to assist lead
detective Alex Brody on a murder investigation.
Promoting her to temporary detective; Brian explains to Valri her
computer skills that recently led to solving a case are needed on who shot in
the back gamer and alleged hacker Hunter Rogers and sledge hammered his
laptop.
With his partner in the hospital, cynical Alex is
irate that the boss dumps on him a bubbly relative with no experience. To his astonishment, Valri proves more than
helpful starting with salvaging info from the seemingly busted up hard
drive. As they work the case, the two
cops try to ignore their growing feelings towards one another.
The latest Cavanaugh Justice
romantic police procedural (see Cavanaugh Undercover,
Cavanaugh Baby and Cavanaugh Hero) is an engaging whodunit due to a captivating
mystery. Valri’s temporary promotion
feels wrong as I doubt she meets PD requirements and the image of impropriety
is an important consideration Brian ignores; while the lead relationship
follows the usual series path. Still
fans will relish in following the antics of the fighting and fussing officers
as they investigate and fall in love.
