In The Ace by Debra Webb, Clarissa goes undercover as a maid to dig up some dirt on three high-rollers and a possible inside sidekick at a casino, but ends up pretending to be the wife of a star cyclist.
In The Joker by Catherine Mann, Kim pretends to be her cousin, Princess Ting, to uncover a possible diamond smuggling operation at a casino, but her ex, posing as her boyfriend/bodyguard just might prove to be a distraction.
In The Wildcard by Joanne Rock, Dorian dons the garb of a high-price streetwalker to bust a women-trafficking ring, but working with her partner just might be a problem if they don’t resolve the issue of their “mutual past”.
This was a quick-read, nicely-paced, entertaining, suspenseful and gripping anthology (well, the first and third stories, at least, because I just can’t muster any “fanhood” toward Ms. Mann). Both Webb and Rock created great characters, wonderful chemistry, sizzling attraction, and an overall great plot, despite its shortness. Ms. Mann’s story on the other hand had much to be desired with a rather silly heroine despite her being a cop, a rather cardboard-ish hero and a completely out-there plot about mistaken identities and royal connection to an imaginary country.
The first and third stories were enough for a good rating, though.

3 1/2 stars would be a better review. 3 stories, 3 authors, all with the female undercover cop hooking up with a partner from her past, so it's 3 reunion stories. As with any anthology, some are better than others. Also, by the 3rd story, the theme gets repetitive, so the last author gets the short end of the deal. However, the writing is strong throughout, and it's an enjoyable read.

Three short novels intertwine as three female LAPD detectives tackle three separate cases. One is playing maid , another pretending to be her indentical cousin, and the last playing a call girl. Along the way, they find love in these suspense stories by veteran authors.
