Jack of Hearts by Sandra Owens
3.0
3.5 Stars
I generally enjoy Sandra Owens romantic suspense novels for being engaging and well-written. I’m not a huge fan of this particular opener to the Ace & Eights series. The characters are likeable enough, and even though, I found their attraction to be more sexual than anything else based on the way the story is told, I’m happy to buy into their “love.” What ruined this novel for me is how STUPID and unprofessional the hero was and how casual about mixing his undercover life with his actual life as an FBI agent, using his real name, living his actual real life house... it just beggared belief for me. I’m no expert in law enforcement but even I thought that was ridiculous. I like the world that Owens has created with the Gentrys and I’m intrigued by the revelation in the epilogue so even though I think the premise of this series is pretty unrealistic, I’ll probably read the rest of the series.
