REVIEW: Officer Off Limits (Line of Duty #3) – Tessa Bailey

Released: July 23rd, 2012

A sexy category romance from Entangled's Brazen imprint...

His need to possess her is non-negotiable. 

Story Brooks’ fiancé just called off their wedding two weeks before the happy day. As if that isn't bad enough, her semi-estranged father, an infamous NYPD hostage negotiator, has suffered a heart attack. Not wanting to examine her lack of emotion over the broken engagement, she hops on a plane to reconnect with her father before it’s too late.

Playboy hostage negotiator Daniel Chase has never, not once, been refused by a woman, so when a debate over hospital snack foods with a delectable kindergarten teacher ends in flat-out rejection, he makes it his mission to seduce her. His only obstacle? She’s the daughter of his mentor who implicitly forbade Daniel from pursuing her.

Despite her father’s warnings and Daniel’s troubled past, Daniel and Story can’t resist their intense attraction to one another. But when the reason for her fiancé’s abrupt wedding cancellation comes to light, can Story and Daniel's already forbidden relationship survive?
“How do people live their lives feeling like this, day in and day out? Like your next breath depends on another person’s happiness.”
This review is long overdue. I know, I'm sorry. But I will be going on somewhat of a hiatus since my school has been crazy busy. So, I have a few reviews ready and I'll post them whenever I feel like I have the time. Thank you for your patience and enjoy this review!

This was one of the best books in the series. Wow. The heroine was sassy and smoking hot. The hero was badass and also smoking hot. Daniel and Story had the kind of chemistry that just can’t be ignored. I was sucked right in and hooked right from the start.

Wow. This book was just wow.

I fucking loved Daniel. I fucking loved Story. I fucking LOVED them both.

The story starts off with well Story. Her fiancé – now ex – was dumping her because he had cheated on her with some bitch from work. Story realized that she was losing bits and bits of herself while she was with that douchewaffle and so this kind of release was kind of a relief for her. And for us. God, I love a woman with a backbone.
“You know, I could have sworn you were going to pick the trail mix.”“Oh, yeah? Why is that?”
“Because you’re both full of shit.”
 

My God, I fucking love this woman.

Then there’s Daniel, who’s super hot and superbadass. And he’s also had secrets of his own. When Daniel’s mentor, Jack, got a heart attack, his world and Story’s overlapped. That was when it all started. Story, being Jack’s only daughter, was off limits to Daniel, who was a complete ladies man.

And so the war begins.

Daniel had demons to face and, with Story, that was what he tried to do.

He was proving to her that he was capable of being more than a woman’s plaything. And in turn, Story realized, he was proving it to himself.

I LOVE HIM SO MUH-UH-UH-UCH.


Really, this book was the bomb. Loved it! (even though some of the lines were really cheesy)

MY RATING:
4.5 APPLES!!!!!

REVIEW: His Risk to Take (Line of Duty #2) – Tessa Bailey

Released: July 23rd, 2012

A sexy category romance from Entangled's Brazen imprint...

The greater the risk, the hotter the reward…

Homicide cop Troy Bennett had a reputation on the Chicago PD for being fearless and in control—until the night his daredevil partner is killed during a raid. From that moment on, he swears he’ll never again be responsible for the loss of a loved one. To escape his demons, Troy transfers to the NYPD, bringing him up close and personal with Ruby Elliott, a beautiful, street-savvy pool hustler.

Reckless and stubbornly independent, Ruby embodies everything Troy’s avoiding, but when she walks into O’Hanlon’s Pub and blows his carefully laid plans to hell, Troy knows he has to have her—risks be damned. But there’s a connection between Ruby’s shadowed past and a case Troy’s working involving a notorious Brooklyn felon, throwing her safety into jeopardy. Confronted with his biggest fear, will Troy push Ruby away to keep her safe or fight to keep her in his arms where she belongs?
“Look we're both stubborn hotheads, and we're going to fight. Early and often. But I will never make it more than one block before I come back.”
This short novel was hilarious and sweet and HOT AS HELL. Ruby and Troy’s chemistry was off the charts. If it had been trapped in a box, it would probably have burst from all the excitement and intensity. Fantastic!

Their story was pretty short but it was super fucking hot. I read the first book around a year or two years ago and I remember it being so freaking smoking. The sex? FUCKING CRAZY.

Troy moved from Chicago to join the NYPD after a certain case left him plagued with emotions he did not want to have. So he took off and is starting fresh, planning to just focus on his career. Until Ruby Elliot walked into his life.

Ruby was a hustler. She wasn’t born into the white picket fence kind of house and instead was taught how to survive in the real world. But, like Troy, she wanted a fresh start and wanted to get on with her life and do real, actual work.


When their worlds collide, everything changed. Suddenly, the future that they had planned so thoroughly is changed bit by bit as they start to invade – in a good way – each other’s personal space.

I absolutely loved the book. I just wished that they had more time to develop or at least increase their connection so we could see how strong their bond was.


MY RATING:
3.5 – 4 APPLES!!!!!
