REVIEW:THE GRIFTER is the third instalment in Kimberly Kincaid’s contemporary, adult THE INTELLIGENCE UNIT erotic, romantic suspense series-a spin off from her Station Seventeen and Remington Medical series. This is police detectives/undercover unit Shawn Maxwell, and Frankie Rossi. THE GRIFTER can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.
Told from third person perspective THE GRIFTER follows the second chance romance and relationship between former partners and lovers police detectives/undercover unit Shawn Maxwell, and Frankie Rossi. Eight years earlier a domestic call landed Detective Frankie Rossi in six months of recovery and rehab following a knife stabbing incident. Having partnered with Shawn Maxwell for close to two years, their personal relationship was about to implode, wherein Shawn filed for a transfer. Fast forward to present day, and Frankie’s ongoing narcotics case has brought her face to face with her former love, working together to take down a known drug kingpin. What ensues is the rebuilding romance and relationship between Shawn and Frankie, and the potential fall-out when their identities are discovered, and our couple are targeted.
Frankie Rossi struggled in the months following the knife attack including the ‘loss’ of the man that she loved but working together brought up too many memories, memories of which Shawn battled to control. Shawn’s past is about to upend his present, and with it, Frankie must decide where in Shawn’s life she belongs.
The relationship between Frankie and Shawn is one of second chances; a rekindling romance wherein eight years apart did nothing to contain their palpable sexual attraction. Shawn continues to struggle with his feelings and emotions, and in this, changes in his life are about to take hold. The $ex scenes are intimate, passionate, and intense without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.
The secondary and supporting characters include Detective Isabella Walker, Shawn’s new partner Addison Hale; Detective Matteo Garza; tech and surveillance expert James Capelli, and Sargeant Sam Sinclair. The requisite evil has many faces.
THE GRIFTER is a story of an undercover and takedown, betrayal, vengeance, friendships, relationships and rekindling love. The fast paced premise is intriguing, engaging and entertaining; the romance is captivating and impassioned; the characters are dynamic and charismatic.
