As seen on my blog (Jessie's Reading Corner):
Dangerous Proximity is the eighth book in Jemma Westbrook’s Alaskan Security – Team Rogue series and, once again, Jemma has wowed me with her storytelling.
Tyson and Naomi are probably two of my favorite characters in the Alaskan Security world. Tyson is a man that is ready to settle down. He wants a family and a love like the one his parents had. He thinks he’s found it with Naomi, one of the nurses that checked up on him while he was in the hospital. Except Naomi’s been keeping her distance from him since he got out of the hospital.
Naomi is a single mom to a five year old boy. When she’s not working at the hospital, she’s doing the best that she can to make sure Emmett (her son) is taken care of. As far as she’s concerned, love has no business in her life. Will Tyson be able to change her mind? Read the story to find out

This book started out with promise but did not deliver. It was too unbalanced. The slow burn, push and pull was more than 70% of this book and because they kept avoiding being together we didn’t really get much of a love story and their ending or HEA was very rushed.
Their meeting and initial interest happened in the last book, so we get very little in this book which made for an unsatisfying story.
The suspense was not well developed, this author’s not great at it, she just kind of hints for a while and then slaps us across the face with the conclusion instead of doing a slow build.
It does look like the author may have gotten a new editor as there were fewer grammatical issues and spelling errors than usual which was nice.
This is number 8 in the series and really must be read in series order or you will have no idea what is happening, lots of characters from previous books to keep track of and the ending was a cliff hanger to set up for the next book which only added to my lack of satisfaction with the story.
Also, why was he planning a party to prove to her that she had so many friends and support but then this party never happened? I felt like that was building to a catalyst moment but then the author bailed on it.
Ugh, this author gets so close sometimes, but she just can’t bring it home for me. I always feel bleh after reading one of hers.
I actually adjusted my rating up one star because I think I was too grumpy in my initial score, this book wasn’t bad, I liked both characters and saw the potential for a great story, it just didn’t have enough meat and I was frustrated. I wanted it to be better, I saw potential, it just didn’t make it there for me because of the length and/or slow burn. It needed one or two more chapters to complete the story and not rush for the ending. Also it was not steamy enough, but that’s a preference thing, one sex scene in the entire book and everything else was ftb - not my jam.

oh my gosh.
This book was SO GOOD! It was fast paced and interesting, intense and sexy. I loved how badly Tyson wanted a love like his parents, and adorable Emmett, and fierce Naomi. And Beverly. Gah. I just loved everything about this story!

4.5 stars, I love Tyson, Naomi and Emmetts story. Jemma also knows how to get you hooked for the next book. I can't wait to see how the series continues.
