About this ebook

Hard-driving attorney Jo Pomeroy is as determined as she is sexy—in other words, a major pain in NYPD Sergeant Gabe Townsend’s butt. Working together on a high-profile task force charged with busting sales of counterfeit goods has been rocky from the start. And Jo’s penchant for trouble is as difficult to ignore as her spectacular legs.

The world of knock-offs isn’t as frivolous as it appears. The purses are fake, but the danger is all too real—and Jo seems hell-bent on putting herself in the middle of it. Her investigations have uncovered valuable leads for Gabe’s team, but they’ve also drawn the wrong kind of attention.

Now, she’s on the radar of a mysterious smuggler not afraid to use violence to evade the law. At the risk of their lives—and their hearts—Gabe and Jo must find him before he finds them.

I really liked this one! Adored the characters. The snarky banter between Jo and Gabe was hilarious and so perfectly what you would expect from these two career driven people at the top of their game. You could feel the sexual tension between them but working together on a task force keeps them from acting on the attraction....for a while. This had a great story with Jo and Gabe tracking illegal knockoffs and getting them off the streets as well as trying to find the supplier of the knockoffs. One warning though, this isn't the whole story. While it doesn't have any huge cliffhanger, the story is continued in the next book. I definitely recommend this one.

Jo Pomeroy is an intellectual property attorney, and she has been working closely with Sergeant Gabe Townsend on Operation Clean Sweep, trying to rid New York City of counterfeiting, Jo’s clients would like to see end. Gabe and Jo are both ambitious, strong-willed, and alphas: they work well together, but they get royally get on each other’s nerves. And the sexual tension simmering between them doesn’t help! But Jo is reckless and her determination to find the smugglers endangers them both. While Jo and Gabe start off butting heads, they end up butting more than that! THE CHASE is fast-paced, and I love how I got to experience NYC police work, and Gabe’s rough day-to-day profession. The characters are well defined, the story interesting because the subjects were thoroughly researched by the author. Not everyone will agree with me here, but I found Gabe’s sexual obsession with Jo, especially at the beginning, a bit tiring; I would have preferred to dive right in the suspense part and experience fewer remarks on Jo’s legs and (fake) boobs; but this is a quirk of mine. But when the story really takes off, it’s great! It was nice to see a strong woman not become a dishrag when faced with the likes of “Mr. August” (Gabe, who is rather hot!). Although THE CHASE is part one in the Justifiable Cause series, it does not end on a cliffhanger that will make you angry! I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
