Stranger Shoot #2
First Look
BRYSON
Being a police officer has been the most important thing in my life for a long time. The women I’ve tried to date before either get scared off by the job or they’re badge bunnies; I don’t want either. I don’t know why I signed up for the stranger photo shoot, but the moment I turn around and see her, I’m glad I did.
She’s everything I want in a woman and more than I deserve. That doesn’t mean I’m going to let her slip through my fingers.
When I get her underneath me, a broken condom has her running. She has no idea I want her in my life no matter what. She’s mine from the first look.
FIONA
I’m used to my days being filled with snotty noses, scraped knees and glue. I love the kids in my Kindergarten class, but it’s time to branch out and find more in my life. A stranger photo shoot sounds like the way to make that happen. I thought it would be fun and a little cheesy. When I turn around to find Bryson, it becomes so much more.
I spend the best few hours of my life with him. The longer he’s around, the less he feels like a stranger. The more he feels like forever.
I shouldn’t have freaked out over the broken condom, but all I could think about how similar it was to what happened to my mom. I made a mistake but have no idea how to fix it. It’s too big, too difficult and I’m too embarrassed. Bryson doesn’t give up, not on me or us.
If you like alpha heroes and an insta-love story that is sweet but isn’t necessarily simple, then this is for you. No cheating with a guaranteed HEA. My Stranger Shoot Series are novellas that take place within the Denver Family world but is not part of the main timeline. Each book can be read as a standalone. Don’t be surprised to see characters from the Denver Family, other than Ellie, pop in.

4.5 Stars
This was my first book by Ember Davis and I will be back for more. I though that this was a really good book. I loved the connection and the chemistry between Bryson and Fiona. Bryson knew that as soon as he felt Fiona's presence that he finally found his person. These two have an amazing start but Fiona lets what happened to her mother dictate her actions after a night of passion and she runs. These two go through a lot when they are apart but they finally make their way back to each other and finally get a really sweet HEA. I really enjoyed this book and I would recommend it.

“Never going back.”
“From our first look. I knew. So did he.”
Wow! Just wow! I am completely blown away by this story! Ember Davis writes with such depth of details and heartfelt emotions that pulls you in to experience the lives of these wonderful and amazing characters! Fiona and Bryson share an instant connection, with an almost audible click, at their first meet cute-or meet shoot, rather. It all started with a stranger photo shoot which changed their lives forever. Hearts were stolen and love was instant with so much heat it burns. And though sweet Fiona has fear and reservations at first, she knows her alpha cop Bryson is her everything. Such a wonderful book! A must read!!

Mixed views on this one
I really liked Fiona and Bryson's Stranger Shoot, and I understand her initial shock and running, but I am disappointed that she continues to hide. I found her a little frustrating and selfish, so this is not one of my favourites of the series.
I read this on Kindle Unlimited.

Bryson is a cop hoping to find the one he is meant to spend his life with. Fiona dares to dream of the same. They both take a chance on a stranger shoot and win big. Things are going great and then life sends a curveball that sends Fiona spinning. Ms Davis is a master at getting you invested almost immediately with each couple she writes about. I felt Fiona's panic and her fear, I was holding my breath in hopes that it would all be okay. Bryson is everything, he was just dreamy in his steadfastness! I was overjoyed at how it all came together and whetted my appetite for the next stranger shoot! 5 stars for First Look!

This is a super book! Ms. Davis painted a sweet story woth Bryson and Fiona. The characters were so lovable and suited one another perfectly. Their chemistry was palpable and passion was off-the-charts! I have read several of this author's stories and she's quickly becoming a favorite. This story is a perfect example of why I think she's great! Well done! A must read!

This is the second book in the series and I read the first one. I really like that you don't have to read each book to get the complete story since each story tells one couples full story from beginning to end. This was a super fast read. Absolutely loved Fiona and Bryson. I felt like we really got their connection right away at the stranger for those shoot and you can feel it. It's really hard in a novela to get that connection right from the start and it was done really well.

Another sweet addition to the series.
When I stared reading the series I wasn’t expecting to love the series like I do. What started as a stranger photo session becomes more as Fiona and Bryson felt the spark that will change their life. I love the whole concept of this series and this newest addition did not disappoint. Sweet, intense emotions brings these two characters together with light drama and a whole lot of heat level. I’m invested in this series and can’t wait for more!

This was another wonderful entry in this fun series. Bryson and Fiona's story delivers all the feels and a massive amount of swoon. The storyline quickly sweeps you up into it and in no time at all you'll find yourself fiercely invested in this couple as their romance unfolds. Tons of emotion, sweetness, a bit of drama, cuteness, steam and heart make this fast paced book and series an absolute delight. I'm posting a forthright, volitional review.

Bryson & Fiona...
These two both want the same thing in life and that is to find someone that will love them forever. When these two take a chance they meet and sparks fly. Although there are a few complications that can cause them problem. These two were great together!

Bryson and Fiona's Story . . .
Fiona and Bryson respond to a photo shoot invitation. They felt an instant connection as soon as they set eyes on each other. It was beginning to feel like a beautiful “forever”. Everything was wonderful until the moment the condom broke and Fiona panicked as her thought went immediately to her mother’s situation. So she ran. Will Bryson give up on her now? Has she lost the best thing to come her way in a long time?

Super short fast read. Instant everything between the characters of Bryson and Fiona. The storyline was really cute by meeting someone at a photoshoot. These two work really hard to fix their relationship once Fiona runs. She was letting her mother's experience influence her actions.

An enjoyable book two in the Stranger Shoot series! It is engaging, relatable, emotionally deep, and well written with steam, some drama/ups and downs, and more. The characters are likeable and well developed with undeniable chemistry between them. Definitely recommended!

HEA
Standalone - interconnected characters
Photoshoot blind date
Trigger warnings
DV (mentioned as a call the police officer took)
Broken protection
Police shooting
Bryson and Fiona meet at a stranger photoshoot. He's a police officer, she's a kindergarten teacher. He's the oldest of 6 kids and has a female partner at work. She was the result of a ONS and doesn't have a good relationship with her father. When Bryson and Fiona get their first look at each other....hot. Thoughts slam into Bryson that he almost can't control. Her whole body felt his presence before she ever saw him. They agree to meet at the dog park the next day. Her dog, who hates everyone, immediately loves him. It's a sign. When things get too hot, with possible consequences, will she run? Will he let her, or can he convince her he is serious about her? Or will his job cost him everything...
I am loving this series so far. This is book 2, book 1 was interconnected characters to a different series. Now I need to find Rhonda's story as well as Ellie's. I loved Fiona's mom in this.

I received an ARC from the author thru Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving my review. The Stranger Shoot series is a new twist on finding love. The second book in the series is about Bryson and Fiona. They have an instant attraction when they meet and their connection grows quickly. Things are not all smooth sailing. Bryson is going to have to prove his heart to Fiona if she is going to get past her fear. They are a couple who is meant to be. I really enjoyed their story

At First Sight
I LOVED the concept of this book! I follow a photographer on social media who does these shoots and always wanted to know about what we didn't see. This book nailed it!
The pairing of Bryson and Fiona was spot on, and their immediate spark and the sexual tension was 🔥🔥
There was a bit of a predictable "history repeats itself twist to the storyline but it worked for their HEA.
Now I'll need to go back and read book one and continue the series!

This was a fantastic instalove romance. I loved how prominent the stranger shoot were in this story, I could see the pictures so clearly in my mind that I felt like I was right there beside Fiona and Bryson. They had amazing chemistry and even though they hit a small bump in the road their romance was so beautiful. I can’t wait to read the rest of the series.
