Ranger Ops team member Jess Monet wants love in his life. He's lonely and becoming a bit depressed as his fellow Ranger Ops teammates fall like dominoes in the world of love. While he is happy for his buddies, he can't help wondering what it will take to meet the woman of his dreams and settle down. Sure he meets plenty of women. He has no problem scoring, dating and committing. The women he has dated, however, have failed to stick around once he professes his interest. Then he meets Avery Aarons at a CPR recertification class. A police officer and total hottie, he immediately wants to get to know her better. But how to go about doing so without scaring her off like all of the other women he has dated?
I have to say, I have a MAJOR crush on Jess! What a blend of super hot qualities: an Alpha who protects what is his but who is sensitive and vulnerable when it comes to women. It is SO refreshing to read about a guy that is physically strong, handsome, commanding in bed, intelligent, and compassionate--- yet internally questions what it takes to land the woman of his dreams. He's been hurt in the past and is vulnerable. Rather than get hurt again, he tries to put Avery safely in the "friend zone". What he didn't expect is for Avery to resist. That is one zone she has no desire to be placed in. Can Avery successfully chip away at Jess' resolve? Can her will for Jess battering ram its way through the thick walls around his heart.
This was a book that I devoured in one sitting. Engaging and likable characters, passionate and sizzling chemistry, and a fast paced plot make this book a definite "must read"! Every book in the Ranger Ops Series is a standalone novel but I highly recommend reading the series in its entirety and in the order in which they were published. I'm already looking forward to reading Cav's book. I'm completely hooked on this series!!!
