The second book in the series starts off soon after the first one ended. Jim is dealing with injuries sustained and finding the courage to ask Calista out. Lucky for him, Calista asks him first. Jim and Calista were perfect together. The author included the realistic elements of a relationship, with disagreements and protectiveness. I liked how Lacey was included, she wasn't just mentioned and forgotten about, but had actual characteristics! The story starts slow at first, but does pick up.

This is the second story in the "Arresting Onyx" series and can be read as a stand alone one. This is a good story about Jim and Calista. This is a fun romantic suspense with witty banter. I love the characters and the plot is very captivating.

I am voluntarily leaving this review. This was a well written, thought out story. It will have you on the edge of your seat from page one with all the suspense and romance throughout the story. Jeremiah “Jim” had thrown his life into his career and never acted upon his crush on the waitress at the diner he frequented for work meetings. That all changes when the waitress, Calista, single mom, finally gets tired of waiting for him to take the first step. When both of their pasts and dangers collide, they have to work together to protect themselves and her daughter. Their chemistry is steamy, their love for one another is perfect. I love that they both are stubborn and determined to do what’s right for each other as well as her daughter. I can’t wait to read the rest of this series.
