She’s smart, seductive, and in way over her head.He’s her only way out.
An undercover DEA agent has gone off the radar. Suspecting an internal mole, the government needs Luke Dubois and his elite team of operatives to recover their man, and the New Orleans native thinks he’s found his way inside the dark underbelly of Manhattan: Olivia Taylor, the girlfriend of a mob boss and the sexiest woman he’s ever laid eyes on. His new mission objective? Get past Olivia’s defenses and convince her to take a chance—on him.
All Olivia wanted was to finish law school and live a normal life, but that dream was shattered when one dangerous night put her deeply in a mobster’s debt. Now Luke and his team will help her escape—in exchange for intel on the missing agent. But Olivia doesn’t anticipate her intense attraction to the reckless Louisiana charmer or that she’ll be forced to risk everything—including her heart.

I keep saying it, but I am loving this series. Loving it. The men are hotness and Luke Dubois is no exception.

A new mission has put Luke and his team in Manhattan. An undercover DEA agent has gone missing and they are tasked with finding out if he’s alive or dead. Their way in is a strip club which is a front for a mob boss. Luke is in the strip club every night trying to figure out a way in and he thinks he’s found one in Olivia Taylor, the mob boss’s girlfriend. He just has to figure out how to get her to help them.

All Olivia ever wanted to do was take care of herself and her mom. Her dad was in and out of her life as a child. She only wanted stability. That changed after she went to work at a strip club to pay for her mom’s medical bills. After someone attacks her, she ends up being at the mercy of a criminal who falls in love with her. Pretty soon Olivia has no way out. She would run, but she has her mother to consider. She’s playing a dangerous game with a dangerous man and it’s only a matter of time before her luck runs out.

When Luke shows up at the club and asks for her help, Olivia sees a way out. She agrees to help him if he helps her get her and her mom out of town. Then everything changes when she finds out what her “boyfriend” is capable of. Soon she is adamant about bringing him down. Then her and Luke are working together.

So I loved Luke. Loved him. Only Luke can be getting a lap dance and come up with this gem:

So, have you always wanted to be a stripper?

Yep. He said that. Olivia? Not so much. She was supposed to be really smart. Which she was, to a point. She was able to hold Vince off in really imaginative ways. I understand that emotion got to her in the end which is why she insisted on helping with the mission, but it was so freaking stupid. Not TSTL, but stupid nonetheless. The way Luke and Olivia got together in the end fell sort of flat for me. Still, Luke. Sigh.

Rating: 4 out of 5.
