Wild child inner city cop Shannon Aguerri walks a dangerous line between her methods and justice. When the bosses lose their nerve, after yet another maverick mission, she is transferred to green pastures to play out the role of a routine village cop. When she encounters signs of people and drug trafficking she homes in on serious millionaire criminals. As a loner she has attracted men but nothing has stuck. When she meets Spencer, the hunky and widowed Earl of Bloxington, there is an immediate rapport between them. Their social differences mean nothing to their passion and need. Already in the mix is an upper class female rival – who has long plotted her way into the Earl’s bed. The jealousy is an evil shade of green and the anger is a violent scarlet. Often inhibited by a sense of duty and honour, Spencer is slow to reveal his feelings. When Shannon confronts him with the need to choose between her word and that of her rival, he does not immediately support her. All the same, when they are forced together to carry out a desperate rescue mission their love is stronger than everything ranged against them.
Authors note: This book is quite ‘strongly flavoured’ and features uninhibited, but straightforward steamy sexual scenes between consenting adults and true-to-life street language that would occur in high-stress situations.
My review:
I haven’t read a good cop drama/romance in awhile and I was over the moon about this book. Not only is it steamy, it has brilliant British humor too. I really was enamored with the characters chemistry and the banter between Shannon and Spencer. There are awesome villains, great sex scenes and fantastic drama that keeps you reading and on your toes. I am definitely going to keep this series on my radar. You can’t help but be invested in the characters and I really liked the was Emma wrote the dialogue, it had the perfect flow which is difficult to do, some times it comes across forced. Great read! I definitely recommend it.
