This was a rather short novel. The reason I gave it 4 rather than 5 stars was the fact that it ended leaving too many loose ends requiring you to get the next book to wrap them up. I like the characters and the plot though the mystery was fairly obvious. This is a good short read.

Excellent story as usual from Mimi Barbour. Aurora gets a new partner after her previous one gets pregnant and married. Kai is in Vegas searching for a rapist. The story is emotional as they each are chasing their own demons embodied in the same person. You will enjoy their spirited banter and wicked action. The story is fast paced as they try to catch a cunning and warped criminal. A very candid and lovely story.

Engaging romantic suspense. A serial rapist has committed his crimes within the police world. He will be hunted down with personal revenge in mind. The location of the story doesn't matter in this book. Lots of interesting back stories emerged along the way to the end. I will read the next one in this series. Thanks to the publisher for providing a copy via NetGalley.

Smart, tough and sassy Las Vegas detective Aurora Morelli and her new partner hunky former LA detective Kai Lawson are searching for a serial rapist that attacked Kai’s sister and Aurora’s former partner. This is a high energy story that will keep you flipping pages. I really enjoyed the chemistry between Kai and Aurora and look forward to their further adventures.

Our heroine is after the guy that hurt her friend, while our hero is her new partner, also after the same guy for similar reasons. Will they be able to put their individual agendas aside and team up to catch the bad guy?This is book two in the series, but it works just fine as a standalone. Feel free to jump in at any time.This is an excellent example of a romantic suspense story. We get action, intrigue and romance all rolled into one. The story is well written and easy to read, but still manag...

WOW!As the second book in this terrific series it certainly holds its own. It’s action packed as a part of this series and is definitely well written. Terrific characters and story. (After reading this book in the series, I got the entire series and LOVED it! Definitely a recommended read!I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.

I received a copy of Roll the Dice from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.Before I get into the meat of the review, I want to state up front that there needs to be a content warning for rape. Aurora’s partner is recovering from rape, and is unsure if the baby she’s carrying is her husband’s or her rapists–which is a big part of the plot. The rapist also assaults several other victims. The rape is all off screen, but I think this would a difficult read for a sexual assault survivor.Havin...

3.5/5.0Aurora is smart and although she portrays a hard cop on the outside, she is a woman just wanting to be loved and to have a family. Read full review in the 2013 June issue of InD’tale Magazine.

Lacking:I was disappointed by this short book by Mimi Barbour. I have read others that she wrote at a later date and enjoyed them, but this one seemed immature in it's writing style and lacking in depth. While there was lots of action, it seemed one dimensional and there wasn't the added level of intrigue or suspense. It was hard to feel a close connection with any of the characters as the book jumped right into the action and there was little buildup or character development. I also found it hi...

A very good crime novel. A bit more gritty than I prefer but the plot is good and the characters interesting. A bit of romance. The crimes are horrible but the worst are not real-time in the story. I liked the ending to the crime very much but I disliked the very abrupt ending for the characters.

I read the re-edited version of this book. It revolves around Aurora, a hard on the outside, soft on the inside cop, who privately wants a home and family of her own. Kai is not too happy when she is assigned to work with him. The blue-eyed hunk wants to be the one to take down the man who raped and killed his sister. But Aurora has her own payback agenda for her best friend. The banter between Aurora and Kai is fun and sexy and adds a welcome element of humor to the serious crime plot. Really g...

A republication of the second book in this series. Though I did not read the first one I was able to get caught up with the characters and the storyline right away. Aurora Morelli a detective for the Las Vegas police department has a new partner, Kai Lawson a transfer from LAPD. He though reminders her of Bruce Willis but with hair. They are both after a rapist and each has their own issues with the person besides wanting him off the streets. Aurora has been shot and Rondo the suspect has gotten...

He feel the same way about her, but he has been a playboy for so long and he wants to settl...

This wasn't my normal type of read. Occasionally I like to read something with a little more "depth" and this book provided me with that. My only real issue is the fact that this is an ongoing story-line. I like my stories to have a HEA for the main characters at the end and then move on to new characters if a series. Will I read the other books in this series? I'm honestly not sure.*I received a free copy of this book via Hidden Gems which I am voluntarily reviewing*

So much happened in this book. From Aurora's ex-partner Debbie and the baby to finding and losing Rhondo, a few times. Hooking up with Kai to sneaking away from him. I can only imagine what will happen next.

This was a decent story, but a terrible book. Somebody needs to get Mimi Barbour an editor - STAT! She obviously doesn't have a firm grasp on English grammar. I'm not even sure this grammar would work in any language, though."Her and Kai went to wherever." NO."We don't know who's this is." NO.There were countless other errors that really screwed with the flow of the story. And they were all errors that could have been fixed by a 6th grader.My only complaint about the actual story is a huge one,

The partnership between Kai and Aurora was a slow development but it was good nonetheless. The story seems to take a while to apprehend the Rhondo character and as with anything you want to see this bad guy off the streets as quick as possible. The baby situation sure did make things interesting and intense. The ending makes me want to read the next book because I need to know what happens.Thanks to netgalley.com and the publisher for a copy of this book.
