** 4.5 Stars ** 
 First read by this author & LOVED it !!! What a fantastic story filled with little added twists and turns that kept me stumped right until the big reveal. The pacing, the storyline and the back-and-forth banter just worked perfectly IMHO. Loved the main characters - brass, sassy, tomboy skateboarder Vivi ; and follow-the-rules, by-the-book, cautious ASAC [Asst Special Agent in Charge] Colt - she's scarred by an incident from 16 yrs earlier and he's never gotten over the on-duty death 5 yrs ago of his partner and fiance. 
 Thirty something Viviana Belladonna Angelino runs her Boston PI form - the Guardian Angelinos - with older brother Zach. Colton Gregory Lang is is Assistant SAC of the FBI's Boston office and has used Vivi's agency on occasion for outsourced investigations. She's spur-of-the-moment and he's by-the-book but there's that whole 'opposites attract' vibe between the two. A top Hollywood actress - and nominee in the upcoming Oscars - hires Vivi to pose as her body double - a precaution in case the Red Carpet Killer strikes again [having already killed the two previous female Oscar winners]. In exchange for a hefty million $ payout Vivi is to pose as the actress post-Oscars as she takes a break at her Nantucket retreat - and the FBI agent assigned to the actress's protection is ASAC Lang. And let the fun begin !!! 
 There are so many parallel storylines that follow along and the author does an amazing job of seamlessly tying them all together. Flawless writing style, alternating POV's, pages of witty, sarcastic banter exchanges, mystery, suspense, a touch of Steamy - but overall a sweet, slow-to-build romance between two amazing book characters. Add in a KA-worthy book ending Epilogue and WOW !!! Definitely up for more reads by this talented author.
