  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 the
virgin 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.
