Street
CODENAME: HEATHCLIFF/CHARLIE STREET
His codename is Heathcliff. He's an assassin for a secret government agency. Trained to be the best of the best, Heath has only two flaws; his insatiable thirst for revenge, and the inability to resist a beautiful woman.
Crusading lawyer Charlize Street is determined to be one of the good guys. In a city like Detroit, justice is hard to come by, especially in the halls of power. So when a senator known for doing good deeds is smeared with criminal allegations, Charlie is determined to clear his name. But she isn't prepared to handle the senator's sexy bodyguard, a man who exudes both charm... and danger.
Once Charlie starts looking into the case, she finds herself with a target on her back. But she's not alone. Heath insists on helping her, although she can sense he has his own agenda. Soon the heat is coming from more than just the people who want to stop her. And she wonders if there is anyone in the Motor City she can truly trust.
STREET is the prequel to DETROIT RULES, book one in Linda Style's new STREET LAW series.

I picked this up because I love love love me some Codename: Chandler. I love the world and I love the superhuman scary assassins. I mean, c'mon they're pretty badass.
Anyway, this prequel belongs to Charlie Street. Heath is just a supporting character lent from the Codename: Chandler series. Heath is still Heath and we know this takes place before HIT. Although, I know this is really about Charlie, I felt myself wanting more from Heath. I mean, we know what he's capable of and I don't think we got to see him at his fullest. Probably, because he spent most of his time hiding it from Charlie and inevitably me.
When Charlie automatically trusted the Senator, I did as well. I felt myself believing her feelings and trusting her gut. However, it hurt a bit when my feelings started to sway and yet hers remained steadfast. I started to feel betrayed.
I like how we never really know what Heath is about to do. I mean, you think he's going one way and then he surprises us and goes another or you feel he would never and then he does. I like being on my toes that way.
All in all it was a pretty good read. Not as much action as I'd hoped or I'm used to with the Chandler series but I still enjoyed it.
