Read a Review:
Craig (Divorced, Desperate and Delicious) fills her new romantic thriller with a playful tone and quick banter. Law student and pizza delivery girl Macy Tucker becomes the special project of detective Jake Baldwin after her sweet but unreliable brother, Billy, escapes from jail on the heels of suspected killer David Tanks. Jake starts out focused on recapturing Tanks, his nemesis, but soon begins to feel very protective towards Macy. Unpleasant experiences with her dying grandfather, abusive father and cheating ex-husband have left her with little trust, so Macy has sworn off men, but Jake is persistent and attractive, and their families quickly begin encouraging the match. Supporting characters like Macy's sexy, yoga teaching grandmother are engaging and funny without being caricatures, and the mystery and romance plots fit seamlessly into a witty and fast-paced novel that's easy to read and satisfying to the heart.
Publishers Weekly (June)
Filled with plenty of action, delightfully quirky characters, a mean villain and a rocky road to romance, Craig's novel is an entertaining tale that holds the interest from the first sentence to the final word. The hero's family dynamics and the brother's travails add to a great story.

Macy Tucker’s brother, Billy, who is in jail for three to five years for robbing a convenience store, has made a life-threatening decision. He’s fallen in love with Ellie Chandler, the girlfriend of David Tanks, a murderer best known for decapitating those who cross him. Tanks has threatened to kill them both, and Billy is scared, not so much for himself as for his beloved Ellie, and he turns to his sister for help. Detective Jake Baldwin, the man who put Banks behind bars, is interested in Billy’s sassy sister, but Macy, who found her husband entertaining his secretary in bed and who now has to deliver pizzas to put herself through law school, has had it with men. Banks’ prison threats take on a whole new meaning when he escapes, and his first calls are to Macy. Funny, fast-paced, and full of suspense, Craig’s latest will delight her fans as well as fans of Janet Evanovich and Harley Jane Kozak.
