Diversion (Diversion #1) by Eden Winters (4 Stars)

Enjoyable suspense with Lucky and Bo working undercover to find out who is selling expired drugs. Lucky is a very quirky and entertaining character. He hasn’t had a charmed life, but he’s managed to make the most of it. The story lagged a bit in some parts when it became too focused on the drug trafficking. Instead, I would have liked to have seen Bo and Lucky spend more time getting to know each other better.

BLURB

There are good guys, bad guys, and then there’s Lucky.

Former drug trafficker Richmond “Lucky” Lucklighter flaunts his past like a badge of honor. He speaks his mind, doesn’t play nice, and flirts with disaster while working off his sentence with the Southeastern Narcotics Bureau. If he can keep out of trouble a while longer he’ll be a free man–after he trains his replacement.

Textbook-quoting, by the book Bo Schollenberger is everything Lucky isn’t. Lucky slurps coffee, Bo lives caffeine free. Lucky worships bacon, Bo eats tofu. Lucky trusts no one, Bo calls suspects by first name. Yet when the chips are down on their shared case of breaking up a drug diversion ring, they may have more in common than they believe.

Two men. Close quarters. Friction results in heat. But Lucky scoffs at partnerships, no matter how thrilling the roller-coaster. Bo has two months to break down Lucky’s defenses… and seconds are ticking by.
