A review by lovelybooksblog
Secret Investigation by Elizabeth Heiter

3.0

The Tactical Crime Division is a specialized unit of the FBI, handling the toughest cases in some of the most remote locations. Davis is a former army ranger that is devastated to learn that a close friend has died when her unit is killed during an ambush and the ultimate culprit seems to be the failure of the body armor. He takes the undercover assignment investigating Petrov Armor as away to atone for his friend's death. Leila is the CEO of Petrov Armor, and is shocked that her company may be complicit in the death of these soldiers. She's willing to let the TCD investigate, but wants to be kept up to date with everything they find. Initially Davis blames Leila for the failure, but soon finds that he cannot stop a growing attraction to the woman.

Like the other book in this series the entire book is mostly spent on the mystery and action of the plot and not a ton of time is given to growing relationship between the MCs. I liked both Leila and Davis and would have loved to see more time spent exploring their connection. That being said the mystery was engaging to me and I had fun reading this story even if some of the reveal was easy to guess early on. Also there was a subplot between two other agents from TCD that remained unresolved at the end of this book.

Over all I'm enjoying this new series from Harlequin and look forward to more installments. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC, all opinions are my own.
