Her Dark Half by Paige Tyler

5.0

I love Trevor. I love Trevor. I love Trevor. It took me a while to actually finish this book because I was on a long waitlist at my library...but no worries the wait is totally worth it! Trevor and Alina have a pretty natural relationship... very hesitant at first and totally realistic in how they come to work together and all of the drama that they go through, though the physical attraction is there, then they learn to trust one another, over anyone else, and finally everything else falls into place.

Alina is hired by the bad guys to be Trevor's partner and basically report back to them everything that he does. And at first she doesn't realize what she got herself into, but she is smart enough, and morally sound enough to choose another side when she realizes what is right.

Trevor starts off being pissed that he has to deal with all of the shit from his organization turning on his friends, and even though he is still on their side, he stays at work to play spy and do his best to protect everyone else. So when he gets a new partner, he isn't trilled, but he isn't an asshole to her either. He makes use of Alina's skills and brings her on fact finding missions, where she is able to put two and two together and then willingly work with Trevor.

Then there is the drama, espionage, sexual tension, and snooping neighbors that kept me entertained from start to finish.

I love these kinds of stories where each book focuses on a different couple that we get to see again later in the series, and as soon as their names show up on the page, you have this desire to re-read their book again. We hear a little about the other characters, but I want to know more!!! I mean Kendra gave birth in a Bed and Breakfast during a shootout! I want to hear all about her and Declan, up until that moment and after. I mean I was freaking out about that... I can't even imagine how they were feeling!

Tyler's little details in the story give the characters so much more depth. Like Alina is eating ice cream in bed with Trevor and they can be just so cute together, but then in a work environment they are all business. And there is no unnecessary angst with them either, which I love. Alina notices something fishy is going on, on her own, and figures out who to trust, and Trevor never holds a grudge against her for it.

They might very well be my favorite of all of Tyler's couples.
