Sleepwalker 18+

The following review is for 18+ readers
 Sleepwalker
 
 3 of 5 stars false 
It’s not that Micayla Lange is afraid of the clinking she hears coming from the first floor of the empty McMansion she’s housesitting for her uncle Nicco. She’s a cop, after all. It’s just that finding out her boyfriend was cheating on her was enough drama for one night. Now she’s alone on New Year’s Eve, wearing flannel pajamas and wielding a Glock 22 as she zeroes in on the unmistakable source of the sound: Uncle Nicco’s private office.

Jason Davis steals things for a living, so unexpected developments are a natural part of the job. Getting caught red-handed by a hot, pigtail-sporting police officer in what is supposed to be a gangster’s deserted house is just one more twist in the game. Kind of like finding incriminating photos in Nicco Marino’s safe, only to discover the cop—and the security cameras—have gotten a real good look at his face.

Unfortunately for Mick, she also got a good look at the damned pictures. Her “uncle” might love her like family, but if he knows she’s seen evidence that implicates him in the murder of a city councilman, she doesn’t like her chances. Which is why she’s having a hard time reconciling her professional instincts with what she is rapidly concluding is an inescapable fact: She’s about to help a criminal get away with a suitcase full of stolen money. And she’s going with him.

Mick and Jason’s race for their lives hurtles them through the dangerous Michigan wilderness on speedboat and snowmobile. As their adventure heats up and their enemies close in, Mick is torn between her duty to the force and the combustible passion engulfing her and her unlikely partner in crime. She’ll have to turn Jason in sooner or later…if they survive. But will they ever get a second chance at love?

Review

Micayla is a cop house sitting for her uncle when she hears noise coming from her uncle’s office. She goes to investigate and she sees a man in his safe she also sees pictures of her uncle killing a congressman. She helps the guy getaway and goes with him; they are chased by her uncle’s security. When they find out Mick is working with the guy, she becomes a threat and has to be killed. Jason is a thief, when he planned on stealing the money he didn’t know he was going to be getting pictures of a crime. Now he has to find out how to get away alive and keep Mick from arresting him. The heroine Mick is a cop, yet she doesn’t know her uncle is a criminal. I found it really hard to believe that she was supposed to be this super cop, but she was really clueless about a lot of things. Her instincts her bad and she trusted a lot of the wrong people. Jason was a criminal but he was upfront about it and he knew Mick was going to arrest him but he still helped her. His instincts were really good and he was smart and resourceful. The couple had a lot of chemistry and the book was fast paced and entertaining. I did like the book; I just wanted the heroine to be better than she really was.
