In this mostly spicy romance while Ginger is running from her past, she runs right into a cop, the last thing she needs. While Derek, a police lieutenant, isn't looking for love and has some semi-unusual sexual interests.
This wasn't quite as spicy as I imagined it would be, but still spicier than most contemporary romances. The book overall was pretty good. I really liked Willa the little sister.
I, however, didn't like thevirgin part of the storyline it sort of made sense with Ginger's character but is a bit overdone.
Overall it was pretty good, though Derek was too alpha male for my tastes, in his violence and need to basically mark Ginger, this book would be approached differently if written today, not a decade ago, I'm sure.
Narrator Rating: 3 stars
I'm not sure if it was just the speed I listened to or something else, but she sounded like she had something in her mouth at times, her speech was just odd.

I honestly expected this to be straight trash, but it actually turned out to be way better than I initially thought. The plot was pretty solid for a romance novel. What was unfortunate was that many parts were glazed over to fit in some other stuff… you know what I mean. Why are we sacrificing plot for sex? Can’t we have both? I cringed a little bit when Derek told Ginger he wanted her in his bed during their second encounter, but there ended up being some growth in their relationship, even in such a short book. Overall, it was not terrible. I’m a little shocked at my analysis. 😂 Book two is a ‘maybe’ from me.
“Ginger would want him safe, but she would never ask him to change his lifestyle or give up the job he loved.”
