Riley Cowan and Finn Bradley have just met, but their relationship is already fraught with issues. Riley is determined to find out who killed her estranged husband, while keeping herself and her in-laws safe. Finn is an FBI agent who is more focused on finding the millions of dollars that went missing when Riley's father in-law was sent to prison for fraud. The two form an uneasy alliance as they try to work together to solve both of their problems without getting killed and without giving in to the heat that sparks whenever they're together. 
 Although Hush had some minor weak spots in the writing and plot plausibility, the chemistry between Finn & Riley was so luscious and the suspense aspect so fast paced and fun that I thoroughly enjoyed this story from the first page to the last. 
 I liked Riley from the beginning- she's tough and practical, yet doesn't think twice about stepping up and taking care of her former mother-in-law and young sister-in-law (two secondary characters who are drawn authentically and sympathetically). Hard as nails Finn got to me quickly as well. I have a soft spot for tough guys who have their own soft spots, and I love that he is dedicated and tries to be business-like but still can't resists protecting and supporting this woman he barely knows. (Plus, when he sent the ice-cream, I about melted myself). Just thinking about the story kind of makes me want to read it again!
