Pat White (Author)

Book Description

Series: Harlequin Intrigue | Publication Date: January 9, 2007

WANTED: GIRL FRIDAY FOR CRANKY DETECTIVE

Max Templeton had been tapped by the mysterious Blackwell Group to catch the one man who had escaped him. Packing his bags for Chicago, Max had to crack the case before another body turned up. Luckily, he had his new assistant Cassie Clark in tow.

The ill-humored inspector needed the lovely Cassie by his side—even if he was too stubborn to admit it. And despite her whip-smart mouth, Cassie had demons of her own. Being back in the Windy City was sure to blow trouble her way—though this time she had a dashing Englishman to keep her safe. Not that she needed him. Now, with a resurfaced killer on the loose, neither was looking at a good night's rest—unless they began seeing eye to eye.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not what I'd hoped it would be., July 2, 2007

This was a book I'd pick up and continue reading when I was bored, not a book I'd hate to put down. While the ending was a bit surprising the rest of the book was hardly a page turner. I never felt all that connected to any of the characters and the storyline seemed to drag. Lots of unanswered questions and inplausible scenarios.

I love all books with the word "Inspector" in the title...yes, it's a weird quirk :)

This is a great read: suspenseful, romantic, with a troubled, tortured hero...what more can a girl ask for? I found Cassie to be just the right combination of fiesty and soft and I loved the fact that when Max and Cassie knew they were attracted to each other, they acted on it instead of beating around the bush for 100 pages.

By the end of the story, I was madly in love with both Max Templeton and Jeremy Barnes. Two hot guys for the price of one!

Great book Pat! I am going out to get the second book in the Blackwell series immediately!

I know Pat White from her professional wrestling romances. Who knew the writer with a sense of humor could write an engaging romantic suspense? I felt the anguish in Max's character to find their suspect. And Cassie was a nice surprise. I'm halfway through the second book in the series. It's definitely holding my interests!
