This is the third book featuring private investigator Teresa Knight. MI6 want Teresa to infiltrate a porn film company to find out if it is involved with sex trafficking. She is certainly interested and as she starts her job as a film editor, soon she's telling the actors what to do and becomes a director. Then, suddenly the head of the company in London is murdered and she's running off to Rio after being put on the top of the wanted list. Thank goodness she has a lot of friends who believe she isn't a murderer or an Islamic terrorist. Teresa experiences a whole lot of adventures, both dangerous and erotic until she joins up with a man who is an agent and together they are running for their lives.

When I first started reading this book, I thought it would be just another sexual romp. Teresa, the heroine at first gets herself into lots of sexual situations and I was thinking I was going to be disappointed in this story. But, as I read on, the story unfolded and the sexual aspects became less and it turned out to be a very interesting, adventurous and sometimes breathtaking thriller. We are taken on a ride from London, to Europe, then on to Brazil with agents, terrorists and psycho mob leaders. Once I got past all the erotic parts, which weren't that bad, I really did enjoy this story. This is the third book featuring a heroine who is sassy, strong and very naughty. I found the ending very satisfactory too.
