Beschrijving uitgever
The second novel in nationally bestselling author K.A. Tucker’s breathtaking romantic suspense series, about an undercover detective who is dangerously drawn to her target.
Luke Boone doesn't know exactly what his uncle Rust is involved in but he wants in on it—the cars, the money, the women. And it looks like he's finally getting his wish. When Rust hands him the managerial keys to the garage, they come with a second set—one that opens up the door to tons of cash and opportunity. Though it's not exactly legal, Luke's never been one to worry about that sort of thing. Especially when it puts him behind the wheel of a Porsche 911 and onto the radar of gorgeous socialite named Rain.
Clara Bertelli is at the top of her game—at only twenty-six years old, she's one of the most successful undercover officers in the Washington, DC, major crime unit, and she's just been handed a case that could catapult her career and expose one of the West coast's most notorious car theft rings. But, in order to do it, she'll need to go deep undercover as Rain Martines. Her target? The twenty-four-year-old nephew of a key player who appears ready to follow in his uncle's footsteps.
As Clara drifts deeper into the luxurious lifestyle of Rain, and further into the arms of her very attractive and charming target, the lines between right and wrong start to blur, making her wonder if she'll be able to leave it all behind. Or if she'll even want to.
Klantrecensies
Original and awesome story by KA Tucker
Burying Water is still my favorite, which I was emotionally more invested in. I didn't really like Luke that much in the first book (I don't like spoiled playboys), but we saw a whole other side of him in Becoming Rain. I really liked Clara/Rain, because I just have a thing for strong heroines who can take care of themselves. Normally I am not a fan of undercover stories, but this one worked really well. I loved the beginning where Clara tried to get Luke's attention and that it took some time before she had it. Luke proved her wrong --> don't judge a book by it's cover. This was definitely the case with Luke.
Eventually I warmed up to Luke more after getting background info on him, I understood why he tried to please his uncle so much and why he was involved in the criminal activities. The chemistry between Rain and Luke was of the chain. I loved the build-up in their romance. I do wish the epilogue was longer.
