About Recovery

Recovery by Alexandrea Weis is the second novel in the wildly sexy series featuring the enigmatic Nicci Beauvoir. A thrilling read, this character-driven book boasts a whodunit mystery, sultry seductions, and an unforgettable cliffhanging twist. Once a darling of New Orleans society, Nicci pens a novel about her departed love, the artist David Alexander. While promoting her book in the Big Apple, she’s approached by David’s former boss, Simon La Roy, who has a theory about David’s death that devastates Nicci. She learns David’s murder may be linked to someone from her past. Enter Dallas August, an elite member of Simon’s organization of corporate spies prized for his ruthless ability to get the job done. Playing the part of Nicci’s lover, Dallas returns to Katrina-ravaged New Orleans with her to flush out the killer. But everything is not what is seems in the Big Easy, and soon the couple finds themselves trapped in a psychotic’s twisted game of revenge. As the danger grows, Nicci’s relationship with the handsome spy turns from adversarial to amorous. On the run for their lives, Dallas and Nicci must confront their tormentor before it is too late. It’s a deadly decision that could cost Nicci everything, but it is her only chance for finally revealing the identity of the murderer. Just as the truth behind David’s death is discovered, another more compelling mystery is unearthed. It’s an unexpected turn of events that rocks Nicci’s world.

My Thoughts:
As stated in the description, Recovery is the second book in the Nicci Beauvoir series.I had not read the first but that didn't hinder my enjoyment of this book. The story takes place post Katrina in New Orleans and the author did a great job describing the conditions that still remain to this day from the devastation that Katrina left in the Louisianna area. Aside from that this story is about the investigation into the death Nicci's love,artist David Alexander. With the help of Dallas August, a man with his own secrets and is a corporate spy, they go back to Nicci's hometown to find the killer all the while pretending that they are a couple. At first Nicci finds that Dallas is an egotistical jerk, but as time goes by the sparks start to fly. This is a story of suspense, with love, lust and intrique thrown into the mix. I hope to see another book in this series, and will go back and read the first Nicci Beauvoir book.
I received this book from the author and Pump Up Your Books and was not monetarily compensated for my review.
