The Crime is the third installment of the All In series by Maggie Cole. This book reeled me in as did the first two books. I immediately fell in love with Jack and Maddie. The characters are well-developed, and you see them evolve throughout the book. Yes, they fell for each other immediately, but the story continued for many months. As with the previous books, the secondary characters are an important part of the story. There is a sense of family with the characters. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I highly recommend it.
A beautiful, adventurous damsel in distress. A reluctant, but intrigued hero with dimples. The surprising criminal that ties them together. All the details in between make this a steamy read that will make you stay up way past your bedtime! And you still get to see all your previous friends from The Lie and The Secret. Can’t wait to start The Lie!

What happens on vacation may not always stay on vacation
The Crime is the third book in the All In Series and it has a lot going on but in all the right ways. This story centers on Jack and Maddie. They have a short fling while both are in Tampa, FL. She is there on vacation and trying to heal after just being out of a relationship that was verbally abusive and loveless. They have a strong connection and there is mystery and danger along with romance and sizzle.
This is another well written and entertaining book in the All In series. The story-line is nicely developed and the characters are wonderful.

The Crime is Book 3 in Maggie Cole’s All In Series… and what a series it’s shaping up to be.
Fresh out of a unhealthy relationship Maddie is in Tampa for a little R&R. By chance she happens to meet Jack and gets a glimpse of how Romance could be.
“God gave him dimples too”
That line pretty much sums up Jack.He’s amazing!
Jack is a very successful business man, who happens to be on a business trip in Tampa. Right place, right time and his worlds about to change forever.
Fate brings them together but fate also connects them to “The Crime”. Something so horrific it’s bound to destroy them.
I loved this book!! I really connected with Maddie and I think most women will. Her courage to step out on her own is admirable. Jack, Jack, Jack. What can I say about him. I loved his vulnerability, his passion to right a wrong, his willingness to put Maddie first, his determination and loyalty. He’s an incredible character and absolutely makes this story what it is.
Another 5 star read for this series!!
This was a great and well written storyline. The characters are well developed with plenty of chemistry added making this a must read.

4 1/2 Stars!! I liked it!
This romance had a contemporary feel to it with mafia like undertones. Setting the stage with the prologue, Jack is the good guy who was trying to bring down illegal trafficking exposed by his dealings with his business associates.
By the time he met and fell for Maddie, his dealings with the FBI were a year long and not completed.
I really liked the way the author wrote the dual POVs as it enhanced the storyline and allowed me to see their inner dialogue. I especially liked Jack’s response and focus on Maddie which was pretty intense and equally romantic.
Maddie , just getting off of a six year relationship with her ex, was surprised at her deep responses to Jack. Not wanting to jump into another relationship, she tried to slow things down, but her chemistry and connection with Jack was too strong.
Their romance started fast and was really over the top intense and sexy, but it worked in this storyline. Some suspense, intrigue, kidnapping, twists and turns as Maddie’s history with her ex connected with her current relationship with Jack.
A very good read full of intense passion and action culminating in a feel good ending.

Maggie Cole’s third novel of the All in Series, The Crime, opens with a shocking prologue about the titular event. As the love story between Maddie and Jack unfolds their relationship is tested and the reader is taken on a wild ride filled with twists and turns. The characters are once again well written and relatable, the romance is spicy and the story is a true page turner. Can’t wait to read the next novel in this series!
Scheduled plus Spontaneous equals Super Steamy! This book pulled me in from the beginning and never stopped pulling! I love the chemistry between Jack and Maddie! The story line has twists and turns that kept me from putting the book down and the steamy sex scenes are soooooo hot! I like a lot of oh-la-la in a romance novel and this book delivered! I cannot day enough great things about this book and series…..I highly recommend it!
Another great book in this series. This one has some darker topics (no details) and deals with two people who have self esteem issues due to their past relationships. Maddy works for Liv and recently left her emotionally/verbally abusive boyfriend of six years. She literally bumps into Jack while on vacation in Florida. Neither are interested in starting a relationship but their attraction is immediate and powerful. Jack is working with the FBI to turn in one of his business associates who is in human and drug trafficking. That person happens to be Maddy’s ex and there is a lot Jack cannot talk to her about because of the investigation. Maddy gets kidnapped and Jack helps save her. They have a lot of therapy to get through but they get their HEA in the end.
