I’ve found a new author to add to my list of favorites. Reading Pamela Clare’s Extreme Exposure was a real treat. From the first margarita enhanced scenes right to the very end, I was hooked. I could not put the book down.

Extreme Exposure is the story of Kara McMillan, an investigative journalist. Kara has the opportunity to expose a major polluter in her area. Her investigation puts her in danger and causes some very scary moments. Luckily, she has Senator Reece Sheridan as her protector.

Opening Line: “Kara McMillan was going to kill her best friend.”

So how good was this! Thanks to everyone who kept recommending this series to me over and over (and over) again, now I get what all the fuss has been about. And Pamela Clare well what can I say, this is the 7th book of yours I’ve read now, covering two genres and they’ve all been 5 star reads, so thanks for being amazing.

One of the reasons I put this off for so long was that I just couldn’t get into a politician as our hero. Yeah I Opening Line: “Kara McMillan was going to kill her best friend.”

One of the reasons I put this off for so long was that I just couldn’t get into a politician as our hero. Yeah I made assumptions, because I couldn’t believe that a stuffy, suited, paper pusher could be so, freakin hot! Or for that matter even slightly interesting, I mean at some point his character is going to have to do political stuff which is always so bor-ing, and yes Reece does hang out at the capital and pass bills and vote on shit but he’s also so much more. Okay I’m just going to say it; Reece Sheridan is the perfect man, a total keeper.

I’ll admit I still cringed a bit when he was described as wearing a bow tie ...um no thanks but the Senator makes up for his fashion sense in so many other ways; like his extreme cooking skills, he’s great with kids, he’s also funny, has a six-pack, knows his wines, and drives a jeep (I wonder if it’s a CJ or a YJ ?) He has a compassionate yet take charge nature and goes all alpha and growly in the bedroom, he’s also good with his hands i.e. he has the ability build a cabin in the woods complete with a bed made from tree branches and then take you outside in the snow and have mountain lion sex with you !! Jeez Louise.

Okay where was I? I’m all befuddled now.
Right, Extreme Exposure book is book 1 in the I-team series, centering around Kara McMillian a single mother and hard hitting journalist with a penchant for margaritas and purple jiggly things (god those scenes made me laugh) Kara is struggling to be a full time mum for her son while still holding down a full time job. She’s given up on any hope of a love life after the disaster that was her son’s father and the fact that her boss is a bit of an ass and there just aren’t enough hours in the day.

When Kara receives an anonymous tip from an employee at the Northrup Mining Corp regarding a host of environmental crimes including the dumping and disposal of toxic waste (I admit I had flashes of Erin Brockovich here) Launching into her investigation Kara soon realizes she’s got the potential for a huge story on her hands. People’s lives are at stake and the extent of the corruption is beyond anything she could have imagined, going all the way to; you guessed it, the senate which does put a kink into her blossoming affair with a certain politician. Before long he’s also on her list of suspects and Kara’s running for her life.

This was just all out fantastic read, superbly written with believable, well rounded characters, sex scenes that were off the charts hot, an exciting suspenseful and interesting storyline that stayed out of OTT territory and kept me engrossed with moments of humour, vulnerability, intrigue and passion. I can’t wait to see what lies ahead next. Cheers

This is my first Pamela Clare novel. I was entertained, but definitely not blown away by this one.

I think my major disappointment came with Kara's character. She seemed "childish" to me at times. In the first chapter of the book, she is at a bar (tipsy to say the least), and approaches the Senator, Reese Sheridan. I won't get into the details of the conversation, but I'll just say there were moments that I had the experience of thinking "DID I REALLY JUST READ THAT/DID SHE REALLY JUST SAY THAT" ...more

WOW!love it, it was amazing. how Pamela is going to top that i have no idea but from the review about Pamela she does and i cant wait to continue reading.

Kara has been hurt by the man in her past and now is very cautious with the men she meets. Reece has no problem taking it slow and showing her that he's there to stay (as many times as it takes ;)). they meet at the right time. but they meet when she's having margaritas with her BFF. Now any man that comes back for more after a margarita girls ...more

THis book really grabbed me from the start with an extremely funny introduction to the hero State Senator Reece Sheridan and the heroine, newspaper reporter Kara McMillan and continued to hold my interest throughout. The relationship between reporter and politician took a new spin as they become involved romantically. Kara works on a developing story which is reminiscent of Erin Brockovich which turns dangerous. Loved the suspense thriller aspect but I did suspect the villain right off but was c ...more
