HTML:New York Timesâ??bestselling author Amanda Quick returns with a thrilling new venture into romance and mystery, featuring the most unusual, highly compatibleâ??undeniably combustibleâ??pairing of Tobias March and his mesmerizing partner, Lavinia Lake.

But the loversâ?? plans are foiled when their first cozy interlude of the weekend is disrupted by the appearance of a stunning woman from Tobiasâ??s past. Aspasia Grayâ??s beauty is as haunting as her connection to Tobias. Her long-deceased fiancé was a friend of hisâ??in addition to being an eccentric assassin.

In this third and final installment, private inquiry agents Lavinia Lake and Tobias March attend a house party in the country in an attempt to finally have some intimate time together. Unfortunately, their amorous interlude is interrupted when a man plummets to his death right in front of them. Soon they are on the trail of a daring assassin with a troubling connection to Tobias's past.
This series has been a delightful romp from start to finish. Tobias and Lavinia's ongoing romantic exploits are very entertaining as is their banter and chemistry.
While the mysteries in each book are on the predictable side, and the investigation in this book is no exception, the cases are interesting enough to keep turning the pages and the final explanations and resolutions are satisfying - there is even a solid twist at the end of this particular case.
All in all, I'm sad to say goodbye to these charming characters, but loo forward to continuing my foray into Amanda Quick's backlist. (
