Two Knights Tango by Tagan Shepard

4.0

“Two Knights Tango” is the second book in the “Queen of Humboldt” series by Tagan Shepard. It’s a romantic crime thriller that continues six months after the first book ends.

It’s been six months since Marisol and Sabrina have returned from Bogota when people start coming up missing in Marisol’s territory of Humboldt Park. She knows who it is as it’s the same person who kidnapped her and Sabrina from book one, the trick is catching them without more bloodshed. Because of certain circumstances Marisol and Sabrina haven’t seen one another since they’ve been back. Each of them is searching for their enemy using the resources available to them.

This is a fun series. I really enjoyed the first book and was looking forward to this one. This book is very different from book one in that Sabrina and Marisol spend about 80% of the book separated! Sabrina is using her position as governor and working with NSA agent Tyler (who I hope we see more of) to catch him through legal channels. Marisol, on the other hand, is using whatever means necessary to stop him. They’re also dealing with the pain of being separated and also with the nightmares from their previous ordeal.

“Two Knights Tango” is slower paced than book one with less action. You get to know the characters a little better, however. It has an open ending so I’m assuming there is at least one more book coming. My hope for book three is finally getting the bad guy…but them bringing him down together! This was painful as a romance reader for them to be separated for so long.

I’m looking forward to the next installment and I definitely recommend this series! It’s a fun action-pack thriller with some dramatic antics and a little bit of romance.

I received an ARC from Bella Books via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
