BOOKWORM REVIEW: Better to See You by Isabel Jolie
RATING: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
SPICE: 🔥🔥.5
Isabel Jolie's new series kicks off with a wild suspenseful ride.
The Arrow Tactical Security Series is a spin-off from Jolie's Twisted Vines series. It begins with Ryan "Wolf" Wolfgang, one of Arrow Tactical's founders, being hired to find a missing daughter of a high-profile client. The client wants his kid found fast and with discretion, so he provides the aid of Alex Rolfe, a local professor of criminal profiling, to help Wolf.
This read strikes the right balance of mystery, action, and romance. I enjoyed the development of Wolf and Alex's strangers-to-colleagues-to-lovers relationship as they solve a tangled web of a case. Their chemistry was fantastic and I wished there were more spicy scenes, but I totally get why more would throw the whole story off.
The pacing is great; Jolie does a great job of building tension during the slower parts of the book to create an adrenaline rush during the highs. I've always enjoyed the action scenes she creates because she weaves such vivid details that it is almost like playing an action movie in your mind.
While I understand that this is the inaugural book in the series, I felt like the ending was somewhat rushed and incomplete. Maybe I will get the closure I am searching for in the subsequent book. Speaking of, this can be read as a standalone, though it does mention details from The Twisted Vines series. If you're a fan of romantic suspense, this book is a good pick.
** I am voluntarily reviewing an advance copy of this book. Thank you to Isabel Jolie and Grey's Promotions for providing an ARC. **
ABOUT THE BOOK
"There are various kinds of wolves...those who are charming, quiet, polite, unassuming, complacent, and sweet, who pursue young women at home and in the streets. And unfortunately, It is these gentle wolves that are the most dangerous wolves of all."
When a billionaire's daughter goes missing, it's all hands on deck.
Missing kids isn't one of Ryan Wolfgang's usual cases. "Wolf" is the head of Arrow Tactical Security, a black ops firm that takes on dangerous missions. His life is fast-paced and that's the way he likes it.
But is she a runaway or a kidnapping victim?
Alexandria Rolfe has grown up in the shadow of her father - the world-renowned forensic
scientist and psychologist, Dr. Richard Rolfe. She's determined to build her own reputation now that she's graduated with her Ph.D., so when she gets the call about the missing teenager, she jumps at the chance to prove herself.
Will they find her alive?
Ryan wants to bring the girl home to help an old classmate and to maintain his perfect recovery record. Alexandria wants to bring the girl who refers to her as Aunt Alex home, but she can't deny the career boost from the contacts alone.
When they decide to team up, they both hope for a rescue, but they might just get more than they were looking for...
Better to See You, the first book in the Arrow Tactical Security series, is a steamy, suspenseful, contemporary standalone romance. Recommended for readers 18 and over.
