Lethal in Love #5
Double Down
Rocco Neri, hot billionaire and the city’s most eligible widower, might be in the market for a mistress if he could find a woman who didn’t simper and laugh at everything he says. He’s not that funny.
She needs to be feisty but know her place. And he doesn’t want her anywhere near his son, a sweet boy with a serious obsession with cats, Spider-Man and rocks. In that order.
Eva Parr is certainly feisty. She’s a parolee with some unusual talents who is happy to take a mallet to his ego every chance she gets. Until she needs his help finding Ellie, a lost child. Rocco can’t turn her down. Together they hunt for a little girl who nobody else is looking for.
Things get complicated and dangerous.
Now Rocco has to keep Eva alive and find Ellie before the baby comes.

It seems forever!
But what a wonderful ending, (I thought 😁) to this series!
Frankly you could end it with Eva and Rocco's novel!
How could you not love a sweet arrogant, I am rich", man like Rocco. Honestly, he was the best male character I have met in ages!
Eva, that poor woman, even at her age, she was a woman, one child who grew up fast, ending up paying for the sins of being "owned" by a psychopath, and yet suddenly had hope, when all was taken from her. Rocco, believed, and he is her hope, and her hea!
I loved!
Thanks for the immense fun!

Wow. That was a thrilling emotional roller-coaster ride of a story. I felt like this book took us back closer to the style of the second one by being more straightforward romantic suspense with a little less slapstick humor than a lot of the rest of the series has had. It still had lots of absurd, over-the-top moments, but it didn’t feel like they were quite as frequent for Rocco and Eva as when Big Mike and Minnie are leading the charge. I adored seeing the soft squishy underbelly Rocco hides so well and I loved the way Eva just kind of marched in and took over their lives – all while Rocco still believed he was the one in charge. I don’t have the foggiest clue where the author is going to take us next, but I can’t wait to go on that journey.

Love this series, it is funny, a bit dark, with lots of mystery and romance. This book is about Rocco who is Big Mike's mysterious boss. He has a history that has made him hard, calculating and cold to most everyone except his young son. Book 5 continues where previous books left off and goes into detail about why Rocco is so obsessed with security. He met Eva in the previous book, she is a thief, felon and parolee. He said she was bad news but was drawn to her. Now he finds out her past and wants to help her find her little girl who is missing presumed dead.
I think this may be the best of the series so far it has humor, suspense, intrigue and the same reappearing characters which I have grown to love.

A Sweet, Sassy, Sexy, Funny Story
I loved this story for all the reasons stated in my review title plus so much more. The story took me away from my day to day absurdity. It made me care for all the characters. I laughed, cried, and cheered throughout this book. I am now going to go and read the series in order. Because I know I will be laughing, crying, and cheering all the way.

Eva and Rocco
Both Eva and Rocco had dealt with loss in their lives. His wife and unborn child were killed in a bombing. Her daughter was supposedly killed in a boating accident.
When she finds a clue that her daughter is alive she turned to Rocco for help. They ended up helping each other.
Lovely book.

Love For Rocco
Always loved Rocco from the other books. Eva was perfect for him and definitely not boring. Enjoyed the mystery about Ellie, while Rocco and Eva fell in love. Also enjoyed the update on the characters from the other books. Would recommend this book to a friend.
