The Chase (Fox & O'Hare, #2)

by Janet Evanovich and Lee Goldberg

Janet Evanovich and Lee Goldberg, New York Times bestselling authors of The Heist, return in this action-packed, exciting adventure featuring master con artist Nicolas Fox and die-hard FBI agent Kate O'Hare. And this time around, things go from hot to nuclear when government secrets are on the line.

Internationally renowned thief and con artist Nicolas Fox is famous for running elaborate and daring scams. His greatest con of all: convincing the FBI to team him up with the only person who has ever caught him, Special Agent Kate O'Hare. Together they'll go undercover to swindle and catch the world's most wanted - and untouchable - criminals.

Their newest target is Carter Grove, a former White House chief of staff and the ruthless leader of a private security agency. Grove has stolen a rare Chinese artefact from the Smithsonian, a crime that will torpedo U.S. relations with China if it ever becomes public. Nick and Kate must work under the radar - and against the clock - to devise a plan to steal the piece back. Confronting Grove's elite assassins, Nick and Kate rely on the skills of their ragtag crew, including a flamboyant actor, a Geek Squad techie, and a band of AARP-card-carrying mercenaries led by none other than Kate's dad.

A daring heist and a deadly chase lead Nick and Kate from Washington, D.C., to Shanghai, from the highlands of Scotland to the underbelly of Montreal. But it'll take more than death threats, trained henchmen, sleepless nights, and the fate of a dynasty's priceless heirloom to outsmart Fox and O'Hare.

[Baroness Book Trove]

Okay so I have been reading this book for 23 days!?! I can't believe it. That's the longest I have ever read a book. But I can sincerely say that I finished it!!! And I am so sorry to my fans for not updating my blog to tell you with why I hadn't updated since my last update on February 10. See my mom is in California right now doing some stuff for her job and so I was busy hanging out with her while reading somewhat.

Anyways back to the reason for this blog post. I finished this book today and I loved every single second of it. I know I know. Your probably thinking if I loved every single second of it I would have updated my blog sooner but I couldn't because I was busy with my mom and doing other things around the house. But I swear that is past me for right now that is.

Anyways in this book like always Kate O'Hare gets herself wrapped into one of Nick Fox's elaborate cons that seemed to have started out simple but ended up being not so simple. One of the things that I like about this book is that it's so good with the cons, which would make it an action book, but it also has a good dymanic between Kate and Nick that just makes you want to go just kiss already. And that second aspect is the romantic part of it. I swear this book has every single thing that would make any reader want to read some more of it. But this is only the second book of the series that I think would be as successful as Stephanie Plum. Oh and we also get to see a little bit of Nick's back history of when he first started conning!
