BLURB:
Jonah Landers’s promotion to detective isn’t going so well. His first undercover operation is a disaster thanks to Rafael Santos, a Cuban-American detective so far undercover, no one on Rafael’s Miami-based squad even had a clue he’d already infiltrated the prostitution ring Jonah was targeting. Two years and an insane twist of fate later, Jonah finds himself transferred from Orlando and partnered up with Rafael in Miami—and their rocky beginning doesn’t get any better.
For the sake of their careers and because he realizes he’s falling for Rafael, Jonah makes every attempt to smooth things over and move on with his love life. He turns his attention to A.J. Choya, a Seminole Indian who runs the tech department. But there’s no spark between them, and Jonah has to admit his feelings for Rafael aren’t going away.
When a new case falls into Rafael’s and Jonah’s laps, they must go undercover again and become intimate in a way that forces them to confront their feelings for each other—no matter the consequences.
REVIEW:
Ok, I will be the first to admit I’m so surprised about how much I enjoyed this book. I’m not surprised because the writing is bad, because it’s so NOT bad. I’m not surprised because the story is crap, because it’s not crap. This has a solid plot, interesting characters, and an enjoyable storyline. I’m surprised for the most superficial reason and that’s because the sex between the main characters doesn’t happen until like 70% in the book. And usually that’s a game changer for me but with this story little things were thrown in that gave me just enough of the passion and lust I usually need pretty early on in my stories.
Jonah Lander’s is a Police Detective that’s had a pretty rough transition after his promotion. So much so that he decides a transfer of departments is in order. He knows he needs a big change and fast. Settling in at his new department he isn’t prepared to be partnered with a cop that he had a bumpy first run-in with a few years before.
Rafael Santos doesn’t think much of his new partner. All he really knows is he doesn’t want or need him. Butting heads at every step of the way both men are unprepared for the attraction that arises between them.
Like I mentioned earlier we wait AWHILE for these men to come together. The story however moved at a steady pace and I really enjoyed that the police cases weren’t long and drawn out. Also, when the characters do finally get it on they are smokin’ hot together. Like on fire…HOT!! This is one of those stories where the passion builds and builds then there’s an uncontrollable and crazy passionate coming together.
This is a new to me author and I would definitely read more of her stories. Great writing, awesome characters and a thought-out storyline…I’d absolutely recommend this one!!!!
