Curiosity is definitely going to get me dead one of these days. Probably real soon. I'm Gin Blanco. You might know me as the Spider, the most feared assassin in the South. I’m retired now, but trouble still has a way of finding me. Like the other day when two punks tried to rob my popular barbecue joint, the Pork Pit. Then there was the barrage of gunfire on the restaurant. Only, for once, those kill shots weren’t aimed at me. They were meant for Violet Fox. Ever since I agreed to help Violet and her grandfather protect their property from an evil coalmining tycoon, I’m beginning to wonder if I’m really retired. So is Detective Donovan Caine. The only honest cop in Ashland is having a real hard time reconciling his attraction to me with his Boy Scout mentality. And I can barely keep my hands off his sexy body. What can I say? I’m a Stone elemental with a little Ice magic thrown in, but my heart isn’t made of solid rock. Luckily, Gin Blanco always gets her man . . . dead or alive.

I really enjoyed this continuation of this series. I am looking forward to the next in this series.
Gin Blanco is the former assassin known as The Spider. She is retired and now owns The Pork Pit barbecue restaurant. One thing to quickly bring her out of retirement? Somebody stalking a woman and trying to force her into a relationship against her will. Gin might be deadly, but she always feels the need to help those that can't protect themselves.
I loved this. It's fast paced, full of action with amazing characters. I couldn't give it 5 stars just because of the eye-rolling sexual innuendo. Have I mentioned that I'm not a romance fan? Other than that, I loved it. I will definitely continue the series.
