Improper Conduct

by Isabel Roman

One month on the job--that was all Detective Jules Marshall had with the LAPD but already she knew two 1. Her move from San Francisco was the best move she’d ever made. 2. Sleeping with her sexy as hell boss would be a big mistake. That didn’t stop her from wanting him or from acknowledging the same spark of need in his eyes. And Captain Callum Archer had eyes that devoured her. But when a trio of bank robbers picks LA as their target, her attraction to Callum takes a back seat. She’s seen this pattern before and confides in Callum her suspicions. She thought the case had gone cold until it heated in spectacular fashion; the bank robbers who blew up a car inside a building and killed at least five people have similar crimes back in San Francisco. The problem? She has no proof to go with her suspicions. Despite Callum’s objections, and the increasing temptation to give into her incredibly improper feelings for her captain, Jules plans to push ahead with an extremely unorthodox plan--date the killer. Callum isn’t happy. Jules is the one woman he’d break all the rules for and he’s more than willing to do so to keep her in his life. When she puts herself in the crosshairs of a psychotic killer, there isn’t anything he won’t do to protect her. But can he keep her safe and still catch the killer? Or will their improper relationship get in the way of their jobs?

[Melissa W · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoy books that I can't put down and "Improper Conduct" was definitely one of those books. The characters and the story were well thought out and well written.

Jules Marshall is starting over in a new city and fighting the attraction to her boss, Callum Archer. As she is adjusting, a piece of her past arrives in Los Angeles that threatens everything that Jules is building.

I enjoyed the interaction between Jules and Callum. There is chemistry there that they both try to fight, at first. As they work together though, to hunt down a killer who Jules thinks she has seen before, they try to find a way to make their personal lives work.

I can't wait to read the next installment of their story.
