REVIEW: The Rome Affair (The House of Steele #3) by Addison Fox

The Rome Affair (The House of Steele #3) by Addison Fox: The Rome Affair is the third installment in The House of Steele series. The series features Steele siblings Liam, Campbell, Kensington, and Rowan.

The first two books in the series took readers to Paris with security expert, Campbell; then gallivanting around London with former thief, Rowan. Now author Addison Fox whisks us off to Rome with Kensington Steele and Jack Andrews to investigate a foreign ambassador for the Italian government.

Fierce competition between Andrews Holdings and House of Steele always seems to end with Andrews Holding leading the way. Jack had taunted Kensington after each win. However, his latest assignment requires that he cultivates a partnership with his adversary; otherwise he risks losing the Rome assignment. The adversarial relationship makes for hot foreplay.

The author describes their first kiss as “Rich. Lush. Enticing.”– It is the exact words I would use to sum up my thoughts on the book.

The danger and passion are amped simultaneously – romantic suspense is known for rushing toward the climactic moment, but Fox knows how to sustain it. Addison Fox has won this reader over and has her looking forward to Liam’s story.
