Summary:
Declan O’Brien was always driven to take
his place among Philly’s elite, working hard for everything he’s earned,
including the title of Assistant District Attorney. He’s won seemingly
impossible cases, so he’s furious when he’s assigned to lead the one unit he
doesn’t want.
Melissa Fenske was born hearing impaired to a neglectful mother, finding solace when she was adopted by a young attorney, now Declan’s boss. As the current Director of Victim Services, Melissa’s livid when Declan is placed in the main unit she oversees. She can’t forget their disastrous first encounter. Or shake how he makes her feel.
Declan considers the assignment another step toward his political aspirations, despite that he can’t get Melissa out of his mind. Melissa sees Declan as egotistical and self-serving, kicking herself for how fast she’s falling for his charm. Someone as hot, smooth, and perfect as Declan isn’t supposed to want her.

My Thoughts:
I love a good romance series with great
characters and strong woman. I am a big fan of Nora Roberts and her
trilogies/quartets and this book reminded me of her stories a lot. There’s a bit more sexiness in these than a
typical NR book but they are not long drawn out or overdone scenes if you
choose to skim those parts.
I usually don’t like to start in the
middle of a series but was asked for a review and couldn’t resist. Declan and Mel’s story can definitely be read
as a standalone but it is so good you will want to go back and read the first
three books just like I’m dying to!
It is always great when they subplots are
interesting as well as the main storyline and that is very true in this
one. Declan and Mel work in the district
attorney’s office helping victims of domestic violence and abuse-there was
nothing too graphic-and it was very interesting to read. My only complaint would be that there was a
touch too much drama thrown in at the end.
Every relationship has its problems in the beginning but a few too many
were thrown in towards the end. This did
not deter me from enjoying this story! 4/5 stars
