Hard Evidence
Mills & Boon Intrigue series brings you stories filled with secrets & seduction... CAN YOU TAKE THE HEAT?From street-smart kid to respected cop, Killian - Chili Pepper - Cray had left her old life behind eight years ago and never looked back. But after an attempted murder left her foster father in a coma, Killian was forced to wade through the bitter memories back home in Syracuse and dig up evidence that would bring down the killer. Facing her past had never been easy, but it was reuniting with the man who'd loved and betrayed her that really shook Killian to the core. Stubborn as always, Jack O'Brien insisted on helping her, especially as the threats against Killian's own life mounted. And before long, the man who'd helped build the walls around Killian's heart was doing his best to break them down.

I don't know if I would have picked up this book if I knew it was published under the Harlequin imprint. I have nothing against romances -- they're just not my cup of tea. So I was pleasantly surprised when, after reading the book and discovering it was from Harlequin, I thought it was pretty darned good.
Overall, Peterson is a smooth writer. The plot was an interesting one full of twists and a few predictable turns, yet not too banal or too hard to follow. There were a few instances where the perfect character emerged at the perfect time with the perfect clue, but hey, I'm willing to overlook that.
I did think the main character (Killian) was a wee bit squeamish for someone who was supposed to be a cop. I doubt a real cop would almost keel over at the sight of a dead body lying in a puddle of blood -- at least, not one with 8 years on the force.
My summation: A good story with some fun characters, but if I never see them in another book, I won't be too depressed. It was fun while it lasted.
