Chapter 3
I was all out of luck. I’d just stepped through the door of Jodi’s shop, Flans and Things, intent on having it out with the woman, when I ran smack dab into Watcher Ben Hoffman. Literally. I bounced off his broad back and nearly landed on my ass in the doorway.
“Ooof.”
“Sorry. Are you okay?” Ben turned, eyes twinkling when he recognized me. “Hey.”
“Hey yourself,” I grumbled, embarrassed to be caught not looking where I was going. “Any reason you decided to stand right in the middle of the doorway?” Straight on the offensive. Good one, I chided myself.
“I’m not. Well, not intentionally. I’m in the queue.” He moved aside so I could see the line of customers waiting to be served. Flans and Things was hopping.
“Checking out the competition?” he inquired, doing that one eyebrow arch thing that I could never pull off. How did he operate his eyebrows independent of each other? Whenever I tried it, both my brows practically disappeared into my hairline.
“Hardly,” I scoffed. I spied Jodi through the pass-through hatch, busy in the kitchen. Doubtful she’d take time out to talk to me, not with a shop full of hungry customers. A little voice in the back of my head reminded me that she probably wouldn’t talk with me anyway, busy or not.
“I had an interesting conversation with Mrs. Quinn.” Ben folded his arms across that impressive chest of his and looked down at me. Not out of disapproval, but because of his height. I craned my neck to try and stare him down. It didn’t work. He was on to me, judging by the twitch of his lip.
“Oh?” I feigned ignorance.

Très plaisant, une lecture facile, humoristique et romantique avec du suspense.
Côté romance, ce n'est pas très développé, c'est plutôt rapide. Mais bon, ça ne nuit pas vraiment à l'histoire.
Il y a ce côté drole qui fait que rien n'est vraiment dramatique tout en demeurant intéressant.

Faced with a mysterious foe, a family of tight-lipped shifters and a competitor who would stop at nothing to put her out of business, Kristina realizes nothing is as it seems and the shadows hold secrets that some would kill to keep.
