LEANN'S REVIEW: Blitz (FX Scully) Emerald City #1/Black Family #4

When want-to-be PI Sydney Bucco lost her dad, she picked up the pieces, left home and never looked back. Now on the verge of losing another close family member she may be forced to do the same. But this time her job and her dream are the line. And there's only one way to save them--achieve the unattainable and make a multi-million dollar deal with the most wanted man in America.

Ray Carlson has always been great at two things: playing football and taking care of his little sister. But while he's away at college, scoring touchdowns and winning the hearts of fans, he drops the only ball that really matters. It's been four years since he last saw his sister and she's constantly on his mind, but so is the biggest decision of his career. As first ranking draft prospect, everybody wants a piece of him, and when his would-be agent is involved in a tragic accident, everyone comes running--including her assistant, Sydney.

She's an amateur and she's desperate. But so is Ray and they soon forge an alliance to get the two things they want most in the world. Somewhere along the way, they get far more than they bargained for.

Review:

I really enjoyed this read. Sometimes I am not a fan of switching POVs, but this book is written very well. The transitions from one POV to the next is very smooth. I also really enjoyed the dual POVs. Getting insight in to both of the characters really brought the story together.

I love the Black family. I was really excited to hear that we would get another Black family story. I was also kind of excited it was Ray's. This book was a really fun read. I liked the witty characters and their fire. I also like that this book didn't just have one broken character. Instead both of these characters worked to save each other.

Rating:

F.X. Scully loves romance, but she doesn't write your typical Happily Ever After. Because let's face it, in the real world, it can sometimes take a lot of angst and pain before you get there. And some of us never do. But since most of us pick up books to escape the real world, her stories don't lack hot boyfriends and sexy encounters. Neither will she leave you completely heart broken, sobbing into a tub of ice cream. Rest assured you'll be on a roller coaster, but you'll be glad you went along for the ride.
