Customer Reviews

another great read one the top writing team

After the mess of Katrina, somehow the books that capture the spirit of the old New Orleans is all the more precious. There is NO place like New Orleans, especially the French Quarter. The Carringtons capture this with a dark sexy tale that hits the target. Claude Lafitte is the bad boy your mamas warn you about. But what lass can resist them? Claire (we don't know her last name) had a one night stand with the dark and dangerous lad. The next morn, she is found dead. In comes FBI Agent Akela Brooks. She accidentally stumbles onto the body, while on a different investigation. She immediately follows the trail back to sexy Claude and arrests him. However, Claude is no mama's boy, cheri. He turns the tables, kidnaps her and carries her off to da bayou to have time to prove himself innocent. Claude knows he's been set up and has little chance to save himself, unless he can win Akela over to his side, convince her he is truly not a murderer. Only, she is a by-the-book sort of cop. Can he convince her to ignore the rules and come over to his side? This is obviously an opener for a new series, and it's a slam bang, steamy novel that is perfect for the Bayou setting. The sexual tension radiates as Akela doesn't trust Claude, but is drawn to him anyway. The writing sizzles. But then would you expect anything less from this brilliant, bestselling team!! Keep them coming, and let us recall New Orleans as it was, and hopefully will be again soon.

fabulous opening police procedural romantic tale

In the New Orleans French Quarter Claude Lafitte slept with Claire "no last name"; the next day she is dead. FBI Agent Akela Brooks accidentally stumbles on the corpse while working a different investigation. She arrests Claude, but instead of bringing him in, he abducts her as he flees into the bayou. Claude knows he must take some sort of action to prove that he is being framed for the homicide, but is not sure what or how to evade the cops who will surely be looking for him. His only hope resides with persuading Akela of his innocence and that if he can do that impossibility she will break law enforcement ranks to team up with him to find the real killer. POSSESSION is the fabulous opening police procedural romantic tale of the Dangerous Liaisons series. The story line is filled with non-stop action as Claude finds himself caught in a web in which his only hope to escape is the law enforcement official Akela trying to arrest him. Fans will feel the sexual tension between the agent and the suspect as neither want to trust the other while live complicates the matter. In spite of the specter of the hurricane on the New Orleans' locations, this is a fine thriller from Team Carrington. Harriet Klausner
