There is never a dull moment in this fast pace story filled with suspense, action, adventure, criminals, family and romance. This is the first book I have read by this author it is very interesting with a well blend plot. It was a thrilling and exciting read that at times had me on the edge of my seat, a few smiles and even a laugh or two, there is sadness, danger. Peter is an interesting character but it took me a while to warm up to him with his wishy-washy ways, first hot and then cold plus he didn’t always tell the truth. Yes I understand him not wanting to get into a relationship due to his past but why not just be up front about it. Pete has always been attracted to Nikki but it is hands off since she is the asst. to the chief, but he just can’t seem to follow those orders. Nikki I liked she is strong, dependable and loving. She as well has been attracted to Peter for a while, but with his on and off again ways she should have just told Peter where to go. The only issue I had with her was she couldn’t walk away and kept jumping in bed with him. The chemistry between Pete and Nikki s very hot and steamy and emotional. I have very mixed emotions on these two. Beside that I thought the story was great, loved the plot, the suspense and the action. There is always something going on that holds your attention. The story starts off with a shooting that is anything but random. Nikki is a witness and needs protection. Peter had to find the killer and protect Nikki at the same time. Talk about pushing the lines' heck he can’t even find the line where Nikki comes in. The story does leave some unanswered question which may come out in the next book. It will be interesting to see where the author will take this series. I have not read Andi and Cole story but I feel I might have to. I really liked how Andi stood up to Peter and let him have if for the way he treated Nikki. Bottom line the plot has a few issues in the romance but the rest of it makes it worth reading.

This is the 2nd of Romantic Suspense series featuring various law enforcement officers. Detective Pete Crane is investigating a shooting. One of the witnesses to the shooting is the Chief of Police's assistant, Nikki Harper. Along with her grandmother, also a witness, he wants to put them under protective security. He never knew just how combative she could be! Nikki has a history that causes her to absolutely hate being a victim. It doesn't help that she's been attracted to the detective for 2 years. But because her grandmother is also at risk, she has no choice but to give in and try to help Pete solve his case. Sparks fly and neither one of them seem happy. He thinks she's prickly and she views him as being macho man issuing orders. But Pete isn't only thinking of his job when he's around Nikki. I found this one to be more suspenseful with lots of action than the first book in the series. Since there are different characters, there are no cliff hangers. I liked the characters and how they related to each other. The chemistry between them is hotter than an Arizona desert. Many thanks to the author / CrushStar Multimedia LLC / Paper Dragon Publishing / Netgalley for the digital copy of this steamy Romantic Suspense.

Received an ARC at no cost to author..This is the second book in this series, and even though I had not read the first book I was not lost, the author bring you up to date so that you know what is going on. We have a lot of action and suspense and if I was Nikki I would have knocked Pete out since he was like a ping pong ball, back and forth, back and forth, dude make a decision and stick by it. And Nikki, if you felt like he was going to dump you, take a step back and stop jumping in bed with him until you know he wants you..Anyhoo, it kept my interest enough, so onto the next book. Enjoy! netgalley book
