Undercover Lover

I've been a huge fan of Ms Katherine Jones since she first authored Love Worth Fighting For. In this recent addition, Undercover Lover, she blends romance and suspense into a fast paced, stimulating, and intriguing tale of two co-workers (Rod and Helene) who have loved each other for many years. They've managed to skirt around these feelings until they are brought together to solve a series of murders of wealthy couples. To solve this mystery, they portray a married couple living in San Antonio, Texas. Because of their close proximity, they are forced to finally confront these emotions and this is where the sparks really fly! The reader is taken on a roller coaster ride as the heroes play cat and mouse with each other while they solve the case. I was drawn into the storyline and really felt for both agents as they are pulled together and pushed apart and are pulled together again. As with previous novels, Ms Jones was able to successfully craft a story that had just the right amount of romance and suspense. After reading the teaser for her next installment, Never Too Late For Love, I can't wait to watch the romance unfold between Michael and Bea!!

Undercover Lover is the romantic suspense story of Special Corruption Unit agents Roderick Radford and Helene Maupin. Wealthy couples are being robbed and murdered. It is up to the hero/ heroine to solve this case. Helene Maupin is a career woman who has devoted her life to being the best she can be, hoping to find worthiness outside of herself due to her unhappy childhood. Roderick Radford has kept his distance from Helene for years. He is also driven by his career, but can't understand why Helene seems to push him away. The story unfolds as Helene and Roderick pretend to be a wealthy couple to entice the criminals. Of course, this close proximity brings them closer on a daily basis and both have to fight the attraction to keep their perspective on their assignment. Katherine D. Jones has written a suspenseful book with hot, romantic elements. The book is well-written; however, more dialogue between Helene and Roderick would add further depth to the story and would show the emotions of hero and heroine better.

Imagine yourself being secretly in love with someone for years, only to have the object of your affection constantly avoiding you at every turn. In UNDERCOVER LOVER, the latest novel by Katherine D. Jones, FBI Special Corruption Unit (SCU) agents Roderick Radford and Helene Maupin are assigned to a case without either one knowing that they would be working together nor the facts surrounding the assignment. Roderick and Helene are madly in love but they each have failed to make their feelings known; however, their strong attraction didn't slip by the watchful eye of their SCU boss. When a case lands on his desk involving the robbery and murder of wealthy married couples, he needed to find two agents to serve as a decoy. He didn't have to spend countless hours going though the dossier of his many agents because without a doubt, he knew that Roderick and Helene would make the perfect couple. Katherine D. Jones has done it again. First there was Love Worth Waiting For, then Worth the Wait, now readers will be thoroughly entertained once again. UNDERCOVER LOVER is well-written, highly engaging and chock full of murder, mayhem, espionage and suspense. Roderick and Helene were fun-loving, witty and so madly in love that I wanted to scream at the top of my lungs because they kept skirting around the issue. I really enjoyed this novel and applaud Ms. Jones for bringing back characters from her previous novels, but I am also saddened that the next book Never Too Late for Love will be the final installment to her SCU series.
