Setting: current day Chicago, Illinois and Alaska. AUDIOBOOK NARRATOR: Rebecca Lowman did a fine job.

They are falling in lust/love and then Sophie breaks it off, which was not consistent with her feelings. And then we have the formulaic separation which could have been done better. I would have preferred some interesting clues along the way. But because they tried to kill Sophie more than once, she and her FBI friends were able to learn things. If the bad guys had just kept quiet and bided their time, she would never discover anything and they would get away with it.

But they will soon be fighting more than growing passion.ģ ½ stars. Sophie's assigned a bodyguard - Jack MacAlister, a sexy FBI agent who grudgingly takes the assignment while recovering from an on-duty injury. What she doesn't realize is that her father's infamous reputation has spread even to the far reaches of Prudhoe Bay. With an unerring nose for a good story, Sophie heads north to Alaska. Those red socks - with Sophie's business card neatly tucked inside - are practically all that's found after runner William Harrington's shredded corpse turns up in Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, the victim of a mysteriously dramatic death by polar bear. Far from her onetime high-powered crime beat, she now covers local personalities such as the quirky winner of several area 5K runs whose trademark is goofy red socks.

When the major Chicago daily where she works insists she write an expose about her roguish father, Sophie refuses, quits her job, and goes to work at a small newspaper. Sophie Rose, a tough and determined newspaper reporter, is the daughter of Bobby Rose, a suave, charming, and handsome gentleman who also happens to be a notorious big-time thief sought by every law-enforcement agency in the country.
