Loretta Kovacs #3
Hot Fudge
alternate cover edition of ISBN: 9780312875909
Loretta Kovacs and Frank Marvelli, the fugitive-hunting heroes of Devil's Food and Double Espresso are back in another sexy, savvy yarn of lowlifes on the lam -- and the quirky characters who hunt them down.
Partners -- and lovers at last -- Frank and Loretta usually bust parole violators for the New Jersey Jump Squad. But their off-hours relationship runs into a couple of curvaceous speed bumps in the form of Vissa (short for Elvissa) Mylowe, a fellow PO and former flame of Frank's who is just too out-an-out irresistible for Loretta's piece of mind. When Vissa "borrows" Frank to help her track down a notorious career criminal who has surfaced in San Francisco, Loretta can't help trailing the pair all the way to California, just to keep an eye on them.
'Frisco is a long way from Jersey, in more ways than just miles, and Loretta and Frank soon find themselves in a sticky, tricky imbroglio involving a murderous menage a trois, a bisexual Chinese dominatrix, the I Ching, and the secret ingredient in Elmer Fudge Whirl ice cream.
Can a spanking new romance, and old-fashioned street smarts, survive the New Age twists and temptations of California? Or will Loretta's heart -- along with the rest of her vital organs -- be ground up into dogfood?

Great book and series!
I loved all the books in the series. Each book was action packed with a plot that was easy to follow and had some humor in it also. If the author decided to continue the series, I would definitely read it.
