http://obsessionwithbooks.blogspot.comREVIEW: 5 out of 5 stars Face of Danger is definitely my favorite in the Guardian Angelino series; I have been eagerly awaiting Vivi's story along with the delectable Special Agent in Charge Colton Lang and I loved absolutely everything about it.Vivi is a 31 year old skate-board loving tomboy and former Investigative Reporter who along with her brother Zach and her Rossi cousins run the Guardian Angelinos agency, she wants nothing more than to see the Guardian Angelinos become a force in the security business so when the Red Carpet Killer case is bought to her attention, Vivi automatically sees the resemblance she has with one of the targeted actresses and takes action to offer her services as Cara Ferrari’s body double.With 2 award winning actresses having already been murdered, this case has been passed onto the FBI to investigate & when Lang hears of Vivi’s plans to act as the body double he’s none too impressed.Colton ‘Cautious’ Lang is a by-the-book agent and has been offering Vivi and her company business on a regular basis; he has formed a professional relationship with Vivi but outside of work has also secretly fantasized about her much to his own dismay.He has lost love previously so tries to keep himself at arms length which is not easy when he has been assigned to protect Cara 24/7 or in this case, body-double Vivi,The initial plane scene (lap dance) between them was hot & certainly not expected given what we learn of Vivi’s past but with the iron-clad non-disclosure she has been given by Cara, it is the only way she feels she can stop Lang from talking & boy did it work.This case is one that will seal Colt's promotion to L.A and for Vivi it is the make or break of her business, there is a lot at stake for both of them.There was mystery, suspense and danger in trying to not only work out who was behind the Red Carpet murders but also of why Cara had dealings and attempts made on her life by a known FBI suspect, Emmanuel Roman who is involved in dealings which included child slavery and trafficking.There were many characters who could have been a potential suspect in wanting to harm Cara but I was clueless throughout, just as I thought it could be one character, the plot would change and I would suspect another, it kept me guessing which I always enjoy.I love the chemistry and sexual tension between Lang and Vivi, they couldn’t be more different but they worked well as a team; their emotional history has left them both feeling detached and they find it hard to admit their true feelings. Seeing the slow build-up to their relationship and the trust they forged cemented the start of a loving partnership.I was saddened to hear of what Vivi had to endure as a teen, it explained why she was the way she was, she hadn’t trusted a man in a long time so the faith she placed in Lang was a huge step for her. I loved Vivi as a character; she was compassionate, strong and determined, she seemed fearless and liked to live life on the edge.The secondary characters are wonderful, their interactions at times had me laughing out loud and I was pleased to see more of the mysterious Gabriel Rossi; I have been intrigued by him since ‘Edge of Sight’.Face of Danger was an action packed, emotionally charged and very sexy story. Colton 'Cautious' Lang & Viviana 'Poison' Angelino are definitely two of my favorite St Claire characters.It is best to read this series in order. 1. Edge of Sight 2. Shiver of Fear 3. Face of DangerI look forward to the next book in the Guardian Angelinos series and I am hoping it is Gabe’s story.
