Dani Watson is a hard-edged, fiercely independent control operator for the Indianapolis Police Department. After breaking up with a detective on the force she's sworn off dating cops. That is, until she is assaulted and the responding officer is one of the sexiest men she had ever laid eyes on.
Jacen Fuessler is unprepared for the chaos that is Dani Watson. Instantly attracted, he's dazzled by her great rack, her lethal right hook, and her quirky sense of humor.
Through their jobs they share a life that is like two sides of the same coin. As far as Dani is concerned, that's already too close a connection. But work and circumstance keep throwing them together and Dani is having a hard time keeping her distance from the super hot Jacen. As she begins to fall for him, things are complicated by a terrifying stalker and Dani finds out quickly that her heart and sanity aren’t the only things in imminent danger.
Romantic suspense, really, but I don't have a shelf for that. Dani is a strong, independent, passionate heroine, and Jacen a worthy hero. The author's inside knowledge of police procedure is solid, though some of the lingo and atmosphere is a little heavy in the beginning. Dani might over-think the relationship aspect of things with Jacen... but she doesn't over-think the physical chemistry, which is refreshing. I get tired of heroines who want to know everything under the sun about every potential outcome in a relationship before they admit the attraction. Overall, a very strong story from a promising new author.
This book captured my attention on the first page, grabbed me and held on to the end! Wonderfully written with gritty, real life descriptions and characters you'd actually meet on the street. There was excitement, danger, fun and some need-a-hot-shower passion! A highly recommended read!
