Burn for Me
by Ilona Andrews
I love Ilona Andrews. And this book pretty much sums up why: strong-willed heroine more focused on family than getting glory, strong, manly alpha males who at first dismiss heroine, but then are forced to confront both their commensense attitude and the fact they don't fall down on their knees in worship the moment alpha male enters the room.
And somehow there's lots of romance and lusting after eachother, but you also learn about Military Occupation Specialities, get long descriptions of guns and ammo, some cool hand-to-hand, and a loving description of each car in the story. (Seriously, between Audis and Range Rovers and Escalades, the cars are like another character.)
So you can't beat the mix of "feminine" romance plus manly info.
Nevada Baylor is a PI in a Houston firm that's composed mainly of her younger siblings, mechanic Grandma, and tech-nerd cousin. She had to mortgage the company to pay for some heavy duty medical treatment, and now the parent company is giving her an impossible task-- track down Prime Magic User Adam Pierce and get him to turn himself in.
She crosses path with another Prime Magic User, Mad Rogan, and things start to go haywire in the non-stop action and taunting/teasing way that Ilona Andrews excels at (If you like Kate Daniels or The Edge, you'll like this.)
Seriously can't wait for the next one. It totally hits the sweetspot in terms of romance, action, interesting world development, and mayhem. Plus manly info about guns and cars presented in a non-tedious way.
