Crossing the Line for a Bad Boy

by K.L. Hall

There’s only one thing Detective Averie Morris wants more than the badge hanging around her Sir Daniels.
Sir Daniels is not just a drug lord. He’s a figure of power and wealth in New York City. His dapper appearance and commanding presence make him a force to be reckoned with.
Averie is acutely aware of the opposing forces at the law on one side and her heart on the other. She knows indulging in her feelings could tarnish her career and reputation.
When gunshots at Sir’s club shatter the calm of New Year’s Eve, Averie is thrust into a high-stakes investigation and straight into his arms. The outcome could affect her heart and the quiver between her thighs.
Soon enough, she finds herself in a sensual tug-of-war with the handsome distraction they both know she can’t afford.
Giving into her desires means crossing a line to the point of no return.
But behind closed doors, the risk may be worth the reward.

Is that adage true, that good girls love bad boys? Sometimes, maybe... but in this case absolutely! Averie was raised by a pastor, who was also law enforcement. Whew… how could she not be a good girl? But there was something about the bad boy Sir that drew her in from the time they met, that she couldn’t let go of. She knew that they could never be, her a detective, feeling the kingpin of the city!🤯 Gurrrlllrl...... 🙄 However, she still held out hope.

Time and opportunity have finally presented themselves, where Amerie and Sir can scratch the itch, they’ve been craving. I must say that the fourteen years she waited for this man was well worth it, cause damn!!! 😜 Their chemistry was intense and hot like fire!! 🥵♨️ Sir put in his all, as he has been waiting to get his hands on her for years! Now I know this was a novella, but damn! You gone leave us like that??????? Please tell me that there will be more. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Averie and Sir had the history and the chemistry to make this novella overflow with passion. Mixing business and pleasure doesn’t always go smoothly, but sometimes the risk is absolutely worth it.

This was the perfect erotic novella; right pacing, smooth writing, and all the heat you want. And honestly, New Year’s Eve is the ideal time to let your guard down and give in.

When there is a thin line between mixing work and pleasure. Amerie had her attention on Sir Daniel’s for all the right reasons.

GREAT READ

This is new author that was recommended to me from a book club. This was a very quick read, and a suitable title.
