Into the Night

Into the Night is the first book in The Reliance Group series by Janelle Denison. From the author’s website.~

A former Marine and Las Vegas vice copy, Nathan Fox has seen it all and then some. Heading up security for the Onyx Casino is tame compared to his past, but it's not his only job. Working for The Reliance Group is his real passion project. His current case: a missing woman. His mission: to find her. But soon Nathan must deal with a stubborn, and stunning, journalist who's nosed her way into the investigation . . . and into Nathan's fantasies.

To reporter Nicole Hutton, exposing a ruthless, twisted criminal who abuses vulnerable teens isn't just a job. In fact, this story has become very personal, especially now that she's gotten tangled up with sexy Nathan Fox. But before she can break the story, and help rescue a missing girl, she and Nathan must brave the labyrinth of Vegas's dark underbelly . . . where the heat simmering between them is about to burst into flames.

I’m a huge fan of Janelle Denison. I was so excited when Into the Night came out, as it had been over a year since I had read a new Janelle Denison book. All I can say is Into the Night was well worth the wait. I loved both Nicole and Nathan from the beginning. Neither is looking for someone special in their lives, but they can’t resist the instant attraction they feel for one another. Of course, after that one night, Nathan is certain he will never see Nicole again.

Everything changes because of the case Nathan has been assigned. Both are now on a mission to protect young girls because of separate incidents in their past. Only by working together can they possibly rescue and return a young girl to her family. The chemistry between Nathan and Nicole only grows stronger as the story progresses. They made a great team not only as a couple, but as investigators. Both are such strong characters and I also loved meeting other members of The Reliance Group as well.

Janelle Denison gives her readers a great romantic suspense story with Into the Night. In my opinion, a wonderful first book for The Reliance Group series. The second book in the series, Night After Night, is scheduled for release in October 2011 and is already on my to-be-bought list. I actually have been given an ARC from the author and will do a feature on Night After Night for the October release.
