Eve Morgan is an FBI agent. Well, she is actually a suspended FBI agent but to her that doesn’t matter. Going undercover at a strip club to find her father’s killer, Eve is ready and willing to do anything to get to the bottom of his murder. She is at the point of her undercover investigation where she is getting close to discovering who killed her father when in strolls Nick Shaffer, supposedly her new bodyguard.

Nick Shaffer has been hired by his friend Grady to protect Eve Morgan. Although Eve is fighting him every step of the way, Nick is relentless in his pursuit of fulfilling his obligations. He refuses to allow her to talk him out of his protection. Especially since his conscience won’t let him.  Last time he was on a mission someone died and Nick has to make amends, even at the price of losing Eve.

Eve and Nick, while together because of Nick’s status, keep secrets from each other. Secrets that would help each of them but in their own stubbornness they keep silent. Which in turn could be deadly.

Having never read Sophia Rae, I anxiously opened NAKED VENGEANCE and began to read.  Hours later I was stunned. Simply and completely stunned at the raw emotions and totally enticing scenarios of this novel. Eve and Nick could have been anyone I know, their characterizations were so realistic. The sexual tension each experienced for the other was over the top hot and made me yearn for more. I love Nick’s bullheadedness to protect Eve even when she wanted him gone. His bravery and loyalty was apparent even if he didn’t feel that way. Eve was sassy and bold and I love how she pushed herself to achieve her goal – finding her father’s killer.

Sophia Rae has me hooked on her work with NAKED VENGEANCE. I look forward to reading more from this relatively new author!
