Private
Investigator, Jamie McAdams, is one of the best. When
companies hire him to find out who is
embezzling from them or up to other misdemeanors, they hire Jamie who
quickly
gets his criminal. But with this case, for his godfather’s company,
Booth
Industries, Jamie and his partner Mick have a bit more difficulty
closing this
case.
The
distraction for Jamie is practical nurse, Andi Morrow. She runs the
daycare
facility in the company. The idea of
Andi embezzling from anyone seems absurd to Jamie.
But he has to investigate everyone and Andi
is their prime suspect. Jamie is feeling
things for Andi he has never felt for any other woman.
Will his feelings get in the way of his job?
Andi Morrow
loves her job, loves the kids she cares for and feels like she has a
family
with those at Booth Industries. Having
never had much of a family before and fitting in with her coworkers,
Andi never
thought she would be the prime suspect in the embezzlement case. The investigator in charge, Jamie McAdams
sets Andi’s teeth on edge, but also makes her body tingle and she wants
him
like she’s never wanted anyone before.
But with constant
suspicion of one another, deceit and misgivings can Jamie and Andi
really have
a future together? Which will be coming in last – love or obligation?
Jamie and
Andi are interesting and passionate characters in Shiloh Walker’s Coming
in Last. Their
romance is something that fans of contemporary romances will like. Though they both try to resist one another,
their attraction is too much to resist. They find the one for them who
makes
them each feel complete. Ms. Walker pens
a sweet romance between Jamie and Andi.
I enjoyed both characters, Andi more-so for her
strength, yet her
vulnerability.
However,
despite my impressions of the characters and the fast pace of the story
which I
like in a good read, I found the lack of gentleness and care over the
sex scene
involving anal play, to be very
dissatisfying
and too rough. Andi was a virgin before she ever slept with Jamie and
during
the anal intercourse, Ms. Walker allows Andi's pleas for Jamie to stop,
go
unanswered. For a virgin I don't feel
that Andi was ready for that avenue of sexual activity and that it was
too
rough plain and simple. Even after the
act was complete, Andi's 'no it didn't hurt' did not appease this
reader. This scene was not to my liking
and made what
I had considered a very good story, to drop a few notches in my opinion. My opinion of Jamie, who I respected and
liked greatly earlier in the story, dropped a few levels as well.
