BLURB:

For Judson Crosby, the transfer to the elite law enforcement branch of the SCTF is a great escape from the death sentence he earned as a whistle-blowing patrol officer. Calix Garcia, the fierce new guy, makes a perfect partner, catching bad guys while minimizing collateral damage. Crosby loves working with him.

Of course, he’d also love to work him over in a totally different way.

Garcia has waited his whole career for a solid, dependable partner like Crosby. But after six months fighting crime together, he’s done fighting their attraction.

Their coming together promises to be everything they need… until a threat from Crosby’s past comes back to haunt not just him, but their entire team.

When Crosby goes undercover to keep them safe, Garcia is frantic with worry. One false move could get Crosby killed and Garcia exposed. But they have to fight their way clear, because hiding your lover under the cover of darkness is no way to live. Crosby and Garcia will risk everything for the chance to live their lives in the light.

REVIEW:

Judson is happy with his team and his job. He thought his life was over but he found a new family. He’d thought he couldn’t be happier until Calix Garcia joins the team and becomes the perfect partner on the streets. And maybe off them too.

Cal didn’t think he’d ever find a place to fit in but miracles do happen! Now he just has to figure out how to help Judson deal with his past so they can maybe have a future.

I have never been let down by Amy Lane and this one keeps that record going! Great characters that I fell in love with immediately. A kick ass team of co-workers who are also friends that made me smile almost as much as Judson and Cal! There’s not a character in this book that isn’t interesting and compelling, good guys and bad guys.

And the story-line is gripping! Once I got started I couldn’t put it down! I couldn’t go to bed without knowing how it was all going to work out!

I love a good thriller and this one kept me on the edge of my seat! The bad guys were terrible people and they made me really understand how you can “love to hate” someone. I also loved the fact that the author acknowledged that there are issues that need to be fixed in policing, but still showed us that a lot of people in law enforcement are just doing their best to help the people in their communities.

I’ve been trying to think of a complaint but I really don’t have any. I mean, the story went exactly where I thought it would but that’s okay! It took a few twists and turns to get there and seriously, it’s really a great ride!

This author always has characters that are personable and easy to relate to. Judson is sweet and caring and in deperate need of someone who will just love him for who he is. Cal is a caregiver and perfect for the job.

This story is sweet and funny and thrilling all at the same time. I can’t wait for more in this series. I’m will to bet you will feel the same!
