Ratings and reviews

This was a quick read that packed a lot of punch. Hope is a strong character that had her world turned upside down at 19 when she lost both her parents. She then went through life numb. The only thing that gave her the high she craved so she would feel again was stealing. It all started when she ran out of money and was hungry, she robbed a convenience store. From that day forward, that became her chosen profession and she was good at it. Rowe was a detective that loved his job. His late father and late brother were both police officers and he honored them by continuing the family profession. You could say he was married to his job. He doesn’t do relationships. All the women he is with know he does not commit and is only there for them both to have a good time. That all changes when he meets this sexy, mysterious, pierced and tattooed woman at a bar. She was blunt, snarky and showed no interest in him at all. He was captivated and wouldn’t stay away. He was persistent and was able to break down her walls enough to go home with her. Hope is always guarding her identity and goes by fictitious names. She has no clue the sexy man pursuing her is a detective until he leaves her his business card. She panics and packs up and leaves her sparse apartment. That’s where I am going to end it! Like I said in the beginning, there is a lot that goes on and I don’t want to give anything away. I loved the story, the characters and how they developed. I liked the twists and turns and the final outcome when the ride ended. You want a quick, very sexy read, give this book a try!

Opposites definitely attract in this short quick read. I liked this story and the characters. Hope and Rowe are opposites but the attraction amazing. I enjoyed the story a lot. The last paragraph in this story sums it up so nicely but since I don't like spoilers you must read the book. It's definitely worth reading. I look forward to reading more from this author. *I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book.*

This was a wonderful read with great characters and I was hooked right from the first couple of chapters. The chemistry between Rowe and Hope was off the charts hot these two should not have worked together and while they were plenty of drama they were so right for each other and just could not keep away from one another. This is a super read and I would recommend it to all. I just loved it
