I always seem to enjoy J.M. Jeffries writing style. I found Marco and Lily's story had a very intriguing plot, and just enough romance. It was very informative with lessons in police work, writing and drawing. The characters maintained good dialog throughout and also kept you captivated with beautiful, descriptive settings. Marco and Lily romance was sweet, funny and heated. Can't wait to read more about the Cold Case Unit detectives and about the Jackson family. The J.M. Jeffries writing duo has yet to disappoint, definitely looking forward to reading more of their novels.
