He’s a cop, one of New York City’s finest. She’s a transplanted teacher, new to the Big Apple.

Callahan is streetwise and world weary. Raine is lost in the urban setting. When they meet, the attraction and the emotional connection are powerful. When a former student stalks Raine, he’s also part of Callahan’s unfinished business. The closer they become, the more their lives intersect, and the greater the danger.

Callahan must put his past and burden of guilt aside. Raine needs to adapt to big city life. Both seek a happily ever after together but with old scores to settle, they have to survive first.

As much as I tried I couldn’t get into this story. It seemed like a too good to be true love story and yet not very convincing. If you’re going to sell a love at first sight story, you need to make the reader believe it. A romance story is supposed to enable you to experience the emotions of the characters, to build bonds and relationships with the hero and heroine, and to make you fall in love with the characters. Readers will not believe a love connection just because the author said so, it has to feel real, especially if it’s a love at first sight story.

The following two tabs change content below.
I am a lover of alpha males with dirty mouths, strong heroines putting alpha males in their place, and the Chicago Blackhawks. I'm a proud hockey mom who can often be found at the hockey rink cheering on my favorite forward, with my kindle close by.
