A regular
day turned everything upside down when dispatch sent me to the docks. It was
there I found Lucas Hale, barely alive after being beaten and tossed off his
fishing boat. The moment I lay eyes on him, I feel it in my bones that he’s
mine to protect, so flying in the face of common sense, I offer to help him
back to his feet after he’s discharged from the hospital.
Lucas is
distant and detached, yet irresistible, and as my investigation continues, I
skate dangerously close to crossing a moral line. But stepping over that line
would topple my tidy life, and once that boundary is crossed, I will be forced
to choose between Lucas and the law.

This is book two in the
Hope Cove series and you do not have to read in order, though we did meet
Declan in book one and Oliver and Mack and a few others make an appearance in
this book, so reading the first you would know the other characters and a bit
more history of the town itself.
I did not enjoy this book
near as much as the first. I was disappointed because I really wanted Declan's
story that was hinted at in book one and I kinda liked Declan from that book
too. I felt this story fell a little short. The blurb really got my attention
and the first few chapters as well as I rooted for Lucas to come to and find
out his story. I didn't mind the instant attraction and insta-love in this
story but I sure was hoping for more story to make it worth it. There is a lot of sex and I mean a lot. Don't get me wrong I like hot sex but really,
this guy just got out of the hospital from near death. I would have liked a
little less sex and more story in this book. I just felt the sex overshadowed
what could have been a good story if there had been some conflict or danger
involved. And the end disappointed me as well, it just sorta stopped. I would
have liked a bit more story and closure plus I wasn't happy with the closure on
Lucas either (cannot say more because I don't want to leave spoilers)
Having said this. the
story is okay and a good romance. If you like a lot of hot sex, insta-love, men
in uniform, lots of emotion and a decent romance then you may like this. Don't
get me wrong, I did like the story, I just expected more since the first was so
good.
