⭐⭐⭐⭐
Two parallel storylines in this one. Both the romances are
great by themselves, but would’ve been much more engaging if each one had their
own book. There was enough material in each of the storylines to make a
complete book by itself. Of all sad words of tongue and pen, the saddest are
these: it might have been.
One story is of Sinclair Christensen, an undercover
cop on the trail of busting a drug cartel. In the line of her undercover work,
she meets River, a nurse, and the two get involved. This storyline had us
cringing because Sinclair is married. It had us cringing because of the
cheating aspect and because River didn’t deserve to be made the Other Woman.
She was really nice.
The second story is of Parker Gaines, a K9 handler,
retired because of injury. Married for twenty years, Parker’s wife, Michelle
(Chelle) has left her for a much younger woman and Parker is in the midst of a
divorce. She is assigned as the media liaison person to Talon Valois, a
successful out actress, involved a in project for women and children.
Both the stories are interesting and the chemistry between
both the couples is palpable. Both the relationships grab you and the group of
supportive friends is really sweet.
This is a great read, but still wish that each romance had
got its own book.
