TBR Challenge October: The Chase by Adrienne Giordano

My October pick for Wendy's TBR Challenge . This book is on my TBR pile because it was given to me by a local author Adrienne Giordano. She is relatively new to the romance world but quickly making a name for herself in Romantic Suspense. The Chase is a novella in the Justifiable Cause series. Attorney Jo Pomeroy is on the trail of smugglers of designer bag knock-offs in New York. Gabe Townsend is the police sergeant assigned to the case. Jo is working for a high end designer label that wants to put and end to the counterfeit business. But as Gabe tells her, this is an impossible task. Jo is headstrong and puts herself in danger with her aggressive tactics. Gabe is attracted to her and has to juggle his feelings and also keep his eye on the case at hand. What I like about Giordano's writing is the crisp, witty dialogue also, the way she balances the seriousness of the crime and danger with humorous exchanges. This book is a quick, clever introduction to Giordano's work.

My grade for smart, tenacious heroines, the cops who love them, the mention of  designer handbags and chasing deals to good to be true A.
