\"Unexpected<\/a>Unexpected Partners by Michelle Larkin <\/b>is the story about finding love while catching a serial killer. But before you go – oh no, killers are just not my thing, – let me assure you that this book is heavy on the romance and light on the drama and action.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dr Chloe Maddox is new to the Boston Police Department and specialises in behavioural profiling. She is invested in stopping the man who kidnapped and almost killed her but she doesn\u2019t remember enough to really be of any help. <\/span><\/p>\n

Detective Dana Blake\u2019s wife was kidnapped, tortured and killed by a serial killer. They are pretty certain that the same man kidnapped Chloe making Dana determined to ensure Chloe\u2019s safety in case this monster returns to finish the job. <\/span><\/p>\n

In the middle of the investigation, Chloe and Dana find themselves drawn together but are either of them ready for romance? The one having lost her wife and the other having almost lost her life.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Characters<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

This book is plot driven. Most of it is about their hunt for the killer and the cat and mouse game that ensues so don\u2019t expect big character arcs.<\/span><\/p>\n

The character work in this story doesn\u2019t drive the story and it\u2019s not particularly good or important to the plot. The characters are pretty standard and because it is a decent read you will want them to win. <\/span><\/p>\n

Dana is sweet, strong and heroic while Chloe is smart, strong willed and feisty. <\/span><\/p>\n

The best character in the book is Taz, the most adorable dog. If you love dogs then this book is for you.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Writing Style<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

The story clipped along nicely and kept me interested from the first bit right through. It was an interesting audiobook and didn\u2019t do anything I expected it to. <\/span><\/p>\n

There were a few moments when unexpected events saved the day. If you can look past how convenient it all was then this is a sweet book. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Narration<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

I enjoyed the narration by AJ Ferraro. Her different character voices allowed me to distinguish between the characters easily, the timing was good and the audiobook was worth a listen.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Pros<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

I loved Taz. He had a large personality and was adorable. I loved his story and cheered him on.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Cons<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

This is a bit of an odd book to try and classify. It straddles the line between suspense and romance and kind of ends up being a romance with a touch of suspense. I would be fine with that if the one main character wasn\u2019t suffering from major PTSD at the hands of a serial killer who literally tortured her and beat her to the edge of her life. I find it difficult to believe that a woman who has been through such a sexual trauma would be able to fall in love that easily while also hunting the man who tortured her. <\/span><\/p>\n

For sensitive readers there are mentions of women being raped and murdered. There is also a rather violent scene at the end.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

The Conclusion<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>I enjoyed the story and am not sorry I listened to it. The characters, while not hugely memorable or indistinguishable from one another, were nice enough that I wanted them to get together.<\/span><\/p>\n

The bad guy was terrible and I am glad about how it ended. <\/span><\/p>\n

Taz is adorable and dog people will love the book for him. <\/span><\/p>\n

If you do get this book then expect a lighter read. You won\u2019t get the police procedural or deep research that often goes into suspense books.<\/span><\/p>\n

Excerpt from <\/b><\/span>Unexpected Partners by Michelle Larkin<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

CHAPTER ONE <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Tantalizing aromas of blended coffee beans and fresh-baked cookies filled the small caf\u00e9. \u201cAbsolutely not,\u201d Dana Blake said, sipping her coffee. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBut she checks all the boxes.\u201d Maribel Murphy had been Dana\u2019s friend and sole confidant for the past four years. She was unrelenting in her quest to set Dana up on a blind date. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAnd what boxes are those?\u201d Dana glanced over Maribel\u2019s shoulder as the door swung open and another customer entered in need of their morning caffeine fix. Boston\u2019s chilly November air drifted in and grazed her hand as she set the mug down. She\u2019d selected a table with a view of the door, positioning herself with her back to the wall\u2014a habit she\u2019d developed from her time on the streets as a cop. Even now, as a plainclothes detective, it was a habit she couldn\u2019t shake. She had already done her usual Saturday morning assessment of everyone in the caf\u00e9. She was off the clock, but these days you could never be too careful. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSmart, sexy, athletic, and not a cop.\u201d Maribel sipped her own coffee and studied Dana with a scrutinizing gaze. \u201cOr a prosecutor,\u201d she added. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat do I have against prosecutors?\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cChris Slater,\u201d Maribel shot back. <\/span><\/p>\n

She laughed out loud. \u201cSeriously?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone in the office knows he chased after you for years. You rejected him at every turn.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNot because I have something against prosecutors. I never went out with him because I\u2019m gay.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI thought you were bi.\u201d Dana frowned. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHow on earth did you get that impression?\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou mentioned a boyfriend in college.\u201d Maribel cast her eyes to the floor in thought. \u201cCharlie. That was his name.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCharlie was a spring fling\u2014\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSo you were bi.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAnd her full name was Charlene,\u201d Dana finished. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOh.\u201d Maribel leaned back in her chair. \u201cSo you really don\u2019t have anything against prosecutors?\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n
