Cover Description:

After receiving a tip from an unnamed source, rookie ICE agent Angelika Dietrich gets her first real case. Things quickly steam up when she’s paired with her secret crush, Javier Carrasco, a veteran agent as sexy as he is stoic.

Javier won’t be an easy nut to crack, but if anyone can do it, it’s the bold, brassy, six-foot-one Angelika—an ass-kicking tornado of a woman. With a wicked sense of humor and a heart as big as her size-eleven stilettos, Angelika will have you cheering for her to capture the bad guys and Javier’s heart.

Read on for my thoughts on Five Gold Smuggling Rings.  No true spoilers, promise.

Five Gold Smuggling Rings was such fun.  Angelika is a butt-kicking rookie agent with a wisecrack a minute attitude.  She’s got a serious crush on a very handsome, very non-talking agent, Javier.  When she gets a tip that leads to a major bust, and when she helps Javier take down a major player that he’s been after for years a new respect and attraction is born.

This one is a bit longer in the story than most of the previous novellas in the series.  Details and engaging personalities make this one a definite new author for me to look into.  Kinda wish this was a series, because I would have loved to run into these two again.
