Every Breath You Take by M.K. Gilroy [5 stars]

Every Breath You Take by M.K. Gilroy
From back cover:
When the son of a Chicago billionaire is murdered, the only lead in this high-profile crime is an exclusive dating service that discretely caters to the rich and famous. Who better to go undercover in that world of promising matches and questionable motives than an ace cop who is as attractive as she is tough?
Detective Kristen Conner may not be able to figure out her own love life, but she is about to get a crash course on finding Mr. Right, even as she finder herself in the crosshairs of a determined killer's gun.

I very much liked the first book in the series, (Cuts Like A Knife) and I was very excited when this book was released. Sometimes the second book in a series isn't always the best, but this book did not disappoint. I thoroughly enjoyed it!
I really like Kristin. She's a great, well rounded and likeable character. It's hard to find a police book with a strong, female lead. Too many times I've read books about some dumb female who can't hold her own and does something stupid just so the 'hero' can come rescue her. But that is not the case with Kristin! She's tough and she's smart, and that's what I really like about her.

This is an exceptional action book with great characters, fight scenes, and a mystery that keeps you guessing until the end!

I can't wait until the next book!
