Private eye Nevada Baylor (Burn for Me, 2014) takes another case putting her in the path of Connor Rogan, and it soon becomes clear they've taken on some powerful enemies; Nevada may have to truly embrace her magic in order to save her family and fight for her happiness with the prickly mage.When a client asks Nevada to look into the murder of his wife, she discovers a coverup that sprawls into at least two magical Houses and seems connected to a recent event that nearly destroyed the city of Houston. Working with the powerful Rogan to get to the bottom of both mysteries leads them into danger as well as into the highest echelons of magical society, but things get really interesting when combat-grade soldiers attack her family's office and home. Nevada has never been sure of Rogan's feelings, but things between them heat up when he takes a protective stance toward herâand she is both touched and resentful. Nevada has spent years trying to keep her magicâthe abilit y to tell when people are lyingâunder the radar, but when she chooses to save a child with her power, her secret gets out, complicating her life even more. Tracking down at least one layer of adversaries fulfills her promise to her client but leads to even more questions as to who the true mastermind is and sets up the third and final title in the series. Andrews (which is a pen name for a husband-and-wife writing team) is a prolific and popular author, and her magical worldbuilding is brilliant and compelling. Her imaginative use of magical personalities and traits is spellbinding, and Nevada, Rogan, and the other characters jump off the page. Add breathtaking romance and sexual tension plus a complex, layered plot, and you have a book that's hard to put down. An enthralling paranormal romance from a master of the genre.

Connor "Mad" Rogan (aka the Scourge of Mexico, the Butcher of Merida, and other equally well-deserved epithets) is the last person PI Nevada Baylor plans to have anything to do withâever again. Still, when Nevada learns that her new client's wife and four of Rogan's people were killed in the same bizarre massacre, joining their talents and resources to bring down the bad guys is the only thing that makes sense. Desire sizzles and sparks fly as a powerful Prime mage and a skilled truth-seeker manage to sort out their conflicting emotions while battling a malevolent foe bent on total destruction. An alternate Houston where magic is a given and families with deadly abilities reign is the setting for this high-energy, smartly plotted adventure.
Copyright 2017 Library Journal.VERDICT Confronting a deadly villain while furthering a volatile romantic relationship will keep fans absorbed until the end. Andrews (Burn for Me) is the pseudonym for husband-and-wife team Ilona and Andrew Gordon. They live in Oregon. - Publishers Weekly Reviews : PW Reviews 2017 March #4
Andrews sets fully realized characters, killer action scenes, and a hot and sweet romance against a dynastic world of mages. It's been two months since the explosive concluding events of
Copyright 2017 Publisher Weekly.Burn for Me devastated Nevada Baylor, a Houston PI and psychic truthseeker (able to tell when people are lying). She hasn't heard from mage Connor Rogan since then, which is just as well, because she's fighting strong feelings for him that go against every one of her instincts. When Cornelius Harrison, an animal mage, asks for her help after his wife is murdered, she takes the case, but her investigation leads her back into Connor's orbit and the stakes become even higher. Nevada's eclectic family is a delight: Mom is a sniper, Grandma specializes in armored vehicles, and her teen sisters and cousins aren't to be trifled with either. Nevada herself is a deeply compassionate person who discovers that Connor isn't as cold and calculating as she first thoughtâespecially when it comes to romancing her. Andrews does a fantastic job of catching up new readers while enchanting existing fans.Agent: Nancy Yost, Nancy Yost Literary. (May)
