Publisher's Weekly Review
In this hilarious follow-up to 2008's Hot, Harper teams up FBI Special Agent Dante Torelli with Zoey Addler, a sassy poet who calls him "Lips of Sin" and jumps in his car when she sees oddly endearing mob hit man Neil Janiowski kidnap her niece, Pete. Dante is assigned to guard Pete's father, a federal witness, and he gladly gives chase. In an inspired twist, when Neil leaves Pete and his own infant son alone for a moment, Indian sisters-in-law Savita-di and Pratima Gupta hijack his car, the high-grade saffron he stole from them and-inadvertently-the children. Dante tries to stay serious and track Pete as well as an FBI mole who's attempting to frame him for the kidnapping, but sassy, scattery Zoey, hapless Neil and bickering Savita-di and Pratima keep the laughs coming.

Booklist Review
Zoey Addler moved back to Chicago to stay near her sister and take care of her baby niece, Petronella Pete, for short. Unfortunately Pete's father is the key witness in a Mob trial, and Tony the Rose decides to exert some pressure by having Pete kidnapped. Luckily, Zoey's upstairs neighbor Dante (or Lips of Sin, as she calls him) is an undercover FBI agent. Zoey and Dante chase the kidnapper across the city until the kidnapper's baby and Pete are accidentally snatched by two bumbling Indian aunts who are trying to track down their illegally imported saffron. Zoey, Dante, and the Indian ladies take a journey from the top of the state to the bottom, and amid all the gunfights and federal business, Zoey and Dante discover they might be drawn together by more than just the need to get Pete home safe and sound. Harper offers one fast-paced, funny, and sexy little romance.--Hatton, Hilary Copyright 2008 Booklist
