Narrator Nicole Poole captures Piper Dove's determination to prove herself as a private detective, When she's hired to spy on newly retired Chicago Stars quarterback Cooper Graham, he quickly catches on to her snooping. Their personalities clash, and, naturally, romance follows. The story is entertaining, and Poole does a nice job of depicting the characters' voices and emotions. She deftly portrays Piper's feistiness as well as her vulnerability. Occasionally, her narration sounds perfunctory and rushed, but overall it fits well with the fun, diverting story. Fans of Phillips's Chicago Stars stories will likely enjoy this one, as well as those who enjoy listening to stories about the glamorous lives of the rich and famous.

The latest book in romance writer Phillips's Chicago Stars series displays her knack for creating likable leads with an abundance of chemistry. In this case, the reluctant romantics are retired Stars quarterback Cooper Graham, who's hoping to parlay his popular nightclub, Spiral, into a national chain, and Piper Dove, an ambitious private detective hired to tail Cooper, but when he spots her, the client drops Piper, leaving her at poverty's doorstep. Piper uses her observation of a Spiral bartender's thievery to convince Cooper to hire her to keep an eye on the club's employees. Criminal elements build up, including an intriguing whodunit, but the main delights come not from mystery but from the sly ways Phillips pulls her convincingly human lovers apart and draws them together again. Reader Poole doesn't settle for superficial performances. Her Piper speaks with a snarky attitude that doesn't quite mask an underlying quaver of uncertainty. Cooper, for all his throaty bravado, can't resist a softer voice when he's one-on-one with Piper. Her sprightly rendition of the novel neatly matches the highs and lows of the duo's on-again/off-again affair. A Morrow hardcover. (Aug.) Copyright 2016 Publisher Weekly.
