Review of 'The flaxen femme fatale' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Zach is the last freelance P.I. on Earth and has faced many superwomen in his career, which often comes with saving the world. However, none of those powerful women can hold a candle to Natasha.

As the action never stops, this book doesn't have a dull moment and the funny/interesting characters keep coming. I hope we see a little more of Zach's mother-in-law in the next books. Another great book to an awesome series!
