I have to say that W.S. Greer has grown remarkably as a writer. When I read [b:Kingpin|28931866|Kingpin (An Italian Mafia Romance Duet #1)|W.S. Greer|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1456561532s/28931866.jpg|49150698], I knew that he would become an incredible resource and blessing to the romantic suspense genre, and this book has proven me right! Now I think classifying this story as really romantic is a bit of a stretch, but this man sure banged out one hell of a suspenseful thriller!
This story was part Criminal Minds meets CSI meets "a show involving a guy who can't resist sex because he's dealing with a broken heart" LOL!! Detective Jarrod Granger was exactly as the blurb described him: cocky, arrogant and a manwhore. He was a loose cannon, hot-tempered and impatient. But he knew how to get the job done because he was damn good at it. His latest case involved a serial killer who was decapitating women and putting them on display like snowmen. Trying to find a killer yet Jarrod still found time to bang some women too. Stress relief, you know? All while he desperately pined away for Stacey, the woman who owned his heart.
There's a quote in this book that I think will stick with me for quite some time:
This book was raw, intense, exciting, graphic and somehow amazingly sexy too. If you're looking for a hearts and flowers kind of romance, you won't find that here. This was dark and suspenseful and I can't wait to read more of Jarrod!!

"You can't call a guy a big hairy tranny dick without him getting offended," - Marcus to Jarrod. Summed up Jarrod's style to a TEE!!
