Sophie Rose lives in the shadow of her infamous father, Bobby Rose. He's a notorious modern-day Robin Hood, suspected of stealing from other nefarious groups and individuals. Sophie is trying to make it on her own without her father's financial assistance. Her best friends, Regan and Cordie, are supporting her independence.

Sophie is a struggling reporter, working for a small city paper, and inadvertently walks into a dangerous assignment. Enter FBI AgentJack MacAlister, Alec Buchanan's partner, who ends up having to provide her protection. Though Sophie is loathe to get involved with a lawman, both cannot avoid the attraction.

The dialogue in the story is snappy and fun. Sophie and Jack are a great pairing and the mystery, while not rip roaring, is interesting enough. The poker games hosted by Alec make for fun interludes, with characters from earlier books in the series making substantive appearances.

I highly recommend this 7th book in the series.
