Store
owner, Karina “Kari” Strauss, is willing to do anything to ensure
her sister’s freedom from drug lord, Carlos Moreno, including
smuggle drugs or people across the Mexican boarder. Though it goes
against everything she believes in, saving her sister trumps all of
her moral convictions.
Boarder
patrol officer, Adam Cortez, suspects the tempting entrepreneur of
illegal activities after he spots known gang members coming from her
home. He doesn’t hesitate to infiltrate her life, knowing that to
do what is necessary, he needs to gain access to her personal life.
Both
of them are willing to exploit their sizzling attraction, but what
neither of them count on is the emotional entanglement that they
can’t seem to stop.

In
CAUGHT IN THE ACT, Jill Sorenson created two characters that reached
out and grabbed hold of me, and a plot that tore me up, as the
conflicts Adam and Kari both fought internally and against each other
were so emotionally tormenting. This is a book that I gobbled up,
resenting all interruptions, as I just couldn’t get enough, and I
was so on edge, worried how things were going to play out between the
pages.
I
loved how Ms. Sorenson spun this storyline, pushing the characters
right over the edge and compromising their ethics. It didn’t hurt
that the sexual tension between Kari and Adam was off the charts,
yowzer! Kari knew that she was breaking the law, but to save her
sister, she was willing to do whatever was necessary, no matter how
much anguish and guilt she felt. Adam couldn’t help her because he
didn’t know the extent of her involvement, and circumstances kept
him from doing more to aid her. Kari struggled to maintain a
distance, while Adam worked too move in closer.
Jill
Sorenson has found a space on my auto-buy list, and I can’t wait
for whatever she has coming next.
