Over and Again
It’s been a hell of a year in New York City. Detective Cohen Bailey is determined to put Jake Bartlett, the last remaining threat, behind bars for good. To do that, he’s going to need all the help he can get. Their team is still reeling from almost losing two of their own and Cohen knows that if there was ever a chance to prove himself, this is it.
Brock Hart is a pinch-hitter for the Department of Justice, a mobile asset that moves with the big cases and steps in to clean up messes when they occur. Prosecuting isn’t all done in the courtroom, and Brock’s got a personal connection of his own to this particular case. Detective Cohen Bailey is attractive, competent and more importantly, half Brock’s age. Brock’s better off sticking to his long-time no-strings arrangement than risking it all on Cohen.
The more they dig into the web surrounding Bartlett, the more certain they become that there’s something bigger going on. Neither of them have the time to fall into bed together, let alone fall in love, but if there’s anything Brock’s learned it’s that sometimes, the best choices are the ones you don’t mean to make.

If you've been following my blog, you'll know that I am in love with Brooke Edward's Casus Fortuitus series. Over and Again, the fourth book in the series, in the perfect addition.
In this book we read a lot about Brock and Cohen, as well as seeing all our favorite characters return. This series have given us a whole cast that I will miss a lot.
Once again, the author treats us to many twists and turns, keeping the readers fully captivated till the end. In addition to all the action and suspense, there's plenty of romance and humor.
The book has such a realistic feel to it, making it so darn enjoyable. It's easy to become fully engrossed in the action, the emotions, and the settings.
As Over and Again is the ending for this series, I am sad to see it end. If you haven't read it yet, be sure to check it out.

Over and Again is the final installment and the culmination of this phenomenal series. The books leading up to this one have resulted in an entire NYPD precinct put through an emotional and physical wringer after almost losing two of their own. There’s a constant need to stay vigilant and on high alert as one more psycho, Jake Bartlett, is still at large and most likely after Police Chief James Carter and US Attorney Derek Moore. These two men have been through a living hell, and their psychological recovery is just as painful as the physical harm done.
Knowing that time is of essence, Detective Daniel Callahan is doing his best to keep their precinct running with everything they’ve got in order to bring in Bartlett. Realizing it’s just not enough, they call in the big guns in the form of Brock Hart, Dept. of Justice. He’s hot as hell, smart, and determined to help nail the last threat to James and Derek.
The guys work relentlessly and leave no stone unturned while trying to find Bartlett. A major asset is Detective Cohen Bailey, who‘s also caught the eye of Brock Hart. I love how Cohen Bailey has really come into his own in this book. He has a lot more confidence and determination in his own abilities to put an end to this whole miserable case. And hot damn, Brock is one lucky guy because Cohen is one hell of an alpha lover—he sure is all grown up now!
There are so many twists and turns and action-packed scenes that had me biting the hell outta my fingernails. The best part of it all is how everyone’s involved in this finale: Derek’s parents, James’s son and girlfriend, Detective Daniel Callahan, who is a rockstar, his boyfriend Peter, along with Kay and the rest of the entire precinct.
What I truly loved and will greatly miss is the incredible cast of characters Brooke Edwards has created. Each one brings so much to the storyline and they have become a familiar and integral piece no matter how big or small their part.
Over and Again ends just the way it should. Everyone’s gonna be okay because this zany, sarcastic, badass bunch of lovable law folk will make sure of it. No one goes it alone. Loved, loved, loved this series. Ridiculously well written by the amazing Brooke Edwards. Another five-star read for me.

Oh boy. Talk about a conclusion. Cohen and Brock's story brings the Casus Fortuitous series full circle. Or at least for now it does because I'm holding very very tightly to Brooke's final words at the end - "for now". I'd love nothing more to get MORE of each character and couple.
Derek and James... sweet Lord those two go through so much together and I enjoy that Brooke doesn't coat the aftermath for them with sugar. She showed the fear and pain and doubts and adjustments for them.
Daniel and Peter continued to plod along and find their ways together with the always present comical ease they have. I adore how Daniel trusted that Peter would hold his own.
And then there's Cohen and Brock... I won't lie, I'd have loved more of the getting to know each other and working around stage. Their personal story leaves plenty of room for my vivid imagination and that's ok too.
Everything seems to wrap up nicely in book four but it's also, main character wise, left open (at least I think it is) for more stories or snippets or even appearances.
I hate when a series ends and the characters are fabulous and I don't want them to be done but YAY for the HEA that they all get.

What a great conclusion to the Casus Fortuitus series! From his first introduction in the precious book, Cohen quickly became my favorite. I'm so glad to see him get his HEA. I enjoyed Brock, as well.
So many twists and turns kept me on my toes. There was such a satisfying conclusion to the big mystery.
The story was balanced really well with the romance and lighthearted moments. (The kitty!)
I enjoyed this entire series and can't wait for what Edwards has up her sleeve next.

With James and Derek recovering from the explosion and Daniel driving up to visit both them and the scene, Brock and Cohen are on the case. This is the last in Brooke Edwards' Casus Fortuitus series and it has lost nothing along the way. Peter is still riling up Daniel, Kay still causes mayhem at the station and the hunt for Jake Bartlett is going strong. Don't miss the end of this amazing series that I don't want to end - all your questions will be answered.

4.5 STARS
This is the book that concludes the investigation and crime spree that began back in book two – Law and Disorder. I’m not sure if this will be the final book in the series (it seems like it will be) but be aware to actually finish this story to a satisfying degree, you need to read all four of the current books. And you totally should, because while I liked the first two books well enough, as I got deeper into the series it’s fair to say I loved it. I thought the author did a brilliant job of delivering both a highly addictive criminal drama and three separate romances in what was really one long story spanning the four book series. As with the previous books this one begins with our main characters dealing with the aftermath of the shit storm that ended the third story.
Again, we don’t really see less of Derek, James, Daniel & Peter (our previous MCs) but it’s as though our two new main men, Cohen and Brock are simply pulled into the limelight beside them. And though that sort of overloading of characters seems a potential disaster, the author very skillfully kept her plethora of men distinctive enough that the merry-go-round of point of views worked perfectly. It was like I got to witness the plot from every angle imaginable, as no one’s thoughts were left unexamined.
Though it takes Cohen and Brock a while to get together, once they hooked up I liked them as a couple. Even with a twenty-ish year age gap, I felt confident in their relationship. I appreciated that the author didn’t force an awkward happily-ever-after for them, or for any other of the couples. All the pairings were left in a good place relationship wise, but bearing in mind all of the violence and trauma they were dealing with, a quick fall into for-ever wouldn’t have felt legit. And because the author made her MCs so relatable, I think the more realistic romances were necessary and fitting.
If you haven’t caught on yet, I totally recommend picking up this series. I know I’ll be looking for more from this author.
