Synopsis

TRUE CRIME DOESN'T PAY . . . TAXES.

IRS Special Agent Tara Holloway has risked her life to take down drug cartels and other dangerous tax frauds. But going after the mob is one offer she can't refuse . . .

He's no Tony Soprano. Still, local crime boss Giustino "Tino" Fabrizio is one shady character that Tara would love to see behind bars. He operates a security business—or so he claims on his tax forms—but his clients don't feel so secure when it's time to pay up. Problem is, no one can get close enough to nail this wiseguy for extortion. No one, that is, except Tara . . .

Going undercover, Tara lands a waitress job at Benedetta's Bistro—which is owned and operated by Tino's wife. Being surrounded by cream-filled cannolis could be hazardous to Tara's waistline . . . even though the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, right? Only thing Tara can't afford to do now is blow her cover. Because serving Tino his just desserts will surely come with a price . . .

I have read a few other books in this series. They are fun, quick reads. Fans of cozy mystery books will like this series. There is none of the blood and guts like a suspense/thriller book.

Tara Halloway is a gunslinger for the IRS. She always gets her man no matter what she has to do! This time she had to pose as a college student and work as a waitress, all while staying away from home, pets, and boyfriend! She hardly ever whmpers about it either! She is after a mob boss who's securi......more

I remember enjoying the earlier books in this series when I read them during grad school, but found this one to be disappointing. I'm not sure if it's because my tastes and mindset have changed, if cozy mysteries are not a genre I enjoy, or if the series itself is starting to drag, but there just wa......more
