Serpent In My Corner by JDaniels highlights Hennessy Cooper working as an undercover FBI agent. Hennessy's assignment is to infiltrate the robbery ring of Tristan (T. J.) James. Hennessy has followed in the footsteps of her father, a retired police officer. She is smart, witty and cunning to the point that T. J. falls for her and all bets are off. With one more robbery to add to his elusive trophy case, T. J. swears this heist will set his partners and himself financially free for life. What T. J. does not know is that someone other than the FBI is out to foil his plan for reasons of revenge. But the question remains-who is the real serpent-Hennessy or these unknown assailants.

JDaniels captivates the reader regarding T. J.'s life as she portrays his life growing up as child in South Central Los Angeles and his relationship with his mother and his former neighborhood. We relive his stint in the penitentiary and an important friendship that he cultivates until the very end. Furthermore, T. J. has a demon that haunts him daily that adds intrigue to this story filled with crime, suspense and romance. The reader is taken on a whirlwind and energetic ride from Los Angeles to Washington, D. C., to picturesque New Mexico and back again. JDaniels' descriptions of these locales provide a necessary backdrop to the story at hand.

This is an excellent and fast paced story involving matters of the heart with multicultural characters that put stereotypes to rest. No one is whom he or she appears to be.

This review is from: Serpent in My Corner (Arabesque) (Paperback)

JDaniels has outdone herself. I read this book in one day literally and enjoyed every bit of it. The story unfolds as Henessey, an FBI agent is given an assignment to go under cover to set up a notorious high caliber thief in a mult-million dollar operation to take place. But what she learns is that the criminal she is set to bring down, turns into being her prince charming that she can't turn her back on. I would strongly recommend this book as it will leaving you thirsting for more.

Hennessy Cooper is an FBI agent sent undercover to bring in Tristan James "T.J." Jackson, a jewel thief who is planning to break into the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
With her first look at T.J., Hennessy knows that she is in trouble because the man is too fine!
Once she is accepted into the "gang" of T.J., Mateo, Hawk and Reynolds she starts to care about these men and see the good in them, Of course she has already fallen in love with T.J. and is now determined to "save" him rather than bust him. Needless to say her only contact in the FBI, Sebastian, who has his own reasons for getting T.J., is not happy with the way things are going.
After Hennessy is attacked she and T.J. grow even closer and she is even more determined to change his mind about the robbery at the MET.
What they don't realize is that they both have a serpent in their corner. Hennessy is in danger of her cover being blown and choosing between love and career to save the man that she loves.
You will not want to miss this one. This was an Excellent story full of suspense and unbelievable passion between two people that least expected it.
