Some gambles are worth the risk . . .Trapped in the nightmare of Miami’s illicit underworld, Meg O’Hara has no choice but work for a high-stakes criminal to repay a debt. Freedom is a pipe dream, until FBI agent Christopher Shaunessy offers her a way out. It won’t be easy, especially playing the role of lover to the charismatic agent. Getting the goods on her boss could mean her life, a risk … her life, a risk she’ll take to be rid of the rat’s vulgar advances.
Chris Shaunessy doesn’t break rules, but working with Meg is pushing even his well-honed control to the limit. Personal involvement should never mix in the sordid world of organized crime. They’re playing a perilous game. Giving into temptation could be his biggest mistake because the kisses they share might be more dangerous than the case…
***Wild Card Undercover is the first in the Love on the Line series. It’s an undercover lovers suspense that offers ‘Romance with a splash of danger’ featuring a professional-to-a-fault FBI agent and a sarcastic waitress as they delve into Miami’s underworld to put crime in its place. What they find is …each other.
– RT Book Reviews says: “Wild Card Undercover will capture your heart with its humor and witty characters. A knight in shining armor rescuing a damsel in distress while infiltrating the mob is no small task. Kudos to Lemor who has gracefully mixed a femme fatale with a dash of The Godfather and tossed it together with romance and laughter.”

Author Kari Lemor is noted for her emotional stories and passionate characters. Wild Card Undercover will make you root for Meg who finds herself in constant danger because of a choice she makes. Not only is she in physcial danger, but her heart is at risk too. The appealing cover encloses a very appealing romance.
Margaret Kathleen O’hara is having a bad day….a bad 18 months, actually. That’s how long she’d been forced to “work” for infamous and lowlife mob boss Salazar Moreno. It’s not Meg’s fault. Her sleazy bad-boy, almost boyfriend skipped out on Moreno, owing him a ton of money and Moreno is now making Meg pay it back.
Enter FBI Agent Christopher Martin Shaunessy. He’s undercover trying to get the goods on Moreno and his organization. A chance meeting has him devising a plan to use Meg to arrest the mobster, and help her make her way back home to the family that misses her and has no idea where she is.
Wild Card Undercover gets a big 5 stars from me because it hit all the spots I lovelovelove in a romantic suspense: characters you can root for, a wealth of emotions from both protagonists, and a plot that I can actually see unfold while it’s being told! Someone should be buying the movie rights to this story any day now because it’s such a visual tale, it’ll do boffo box office!
Ms Lemor’s novel is a delight. A heroine who’s feisty, smart, snarky and able to give as good as she gets, meets up with a hero who’s smart, hunk-a-licious, loyal and protective. All the things you want in romantic characters. Add the added suspense factor in and you’ve got a debut novel in a new series that I’m pre-ordering whenever a new one goes up!
Set in Miami, the heat in the region is a metaphor for the steam the two characters create whenever they’re on scene together. Witty dialogue, great scene descriptions, and a knowledge of how to create dynamite sexual/romantic tension jumps off every page.
I can’t recommend this book enough!
It was a great summer read for a hot lazy afternoon. It was enjoyable and a fun read. I am looking forward to reading more of her books.
Great “light suspense” story with the emphasis on the romance.
I love a book with a bit of suspense, high sexual tension, and edgy characters — Kari Lemor’s Wild Card Undercover delivers all three!
Kari Lemor’s work is always a treat!
The first in a series I’m looking forward to. Kari Lemor delivers the light suspense and flirty romance I love.
Romantic suspense just the way I like it … light on the action, heavier on the romance. The two main characters spar with witty banter and share some great sexual tension leading up to a very nice lovescene.
If you like great romantic suspense and even better romance, you’ll love this book!
Kari Lemor’s stories are always a treat. She writes characters you care about and somehow explores serious issues with humor.
