Summary

Bookstore owner Kerry Emerson finally seems to be back in control of her life. Her failure of a marriage firmly in her rearview mirror and her recent business expansion a success, she is in charge of her own future. One that is looking better than ever.

The sight of the tall man, with the familiar salt-and-pepper goatee pushing open the door of her store, sets her hair on end. He doesn't exactly bring good memories.

FBI Special Agent in Charge Damian Gomez is just looking for a decent cup of coffee when he walks into the small store offering books and brew. The pretty, feisty woman behind the counter is an unexpected surprise. Not at all unpleasant, especially since her finger that used to hold a wedding ring is now bare.

Her wild hair, boho style, and silvery grey eyes suddenly hold a lot of promise.

But when his office is pulled into an international investigation into the trafficking of rare books and manuscripts, the straight-laced SAC realizes he has to keep his distance from the woman who might well be involved.

Easier said than done, since fate seems determined to throw them together.

I enjoyed this romantic suspense there was lots to keep my interest. Couple of things bugged me, firstly there was some repetition in the storyline when the narrator switched between the two points of view which was confusing at ones and the female narrator has a weird inflection in her voice where she stretched some vowel sounds for no particular reason that kind of grated on my nerves but once I was able to ignore that I enjoyed it.

Pretty decent but…

Loved the dual narration of Christian Fox and Muffy Newtown, who make this a great listen.


Kerry has a bruised heart, having a divorced her abusive husband. Kerry is a strong, mature, and fun lady. Kerry is pulled into a nightmare involving stolen rare books, murder, mystery. Also fighting her attraction to an FBI agent from her, Damian. Damian has never forgotten Kerry, but then she was married, but he's not into relationships and makes no secret about that fact. Damian will not stop at nothing to protect the woman, who is changing his mind about relationships.
This book has suspense and mystery oh and romance.



Damian is kinda awesome and when we meet his family we understand why he is the way he is. His family is a big part of the story and how not only they help Kerry but you see Damian in another light as well.

Fairly interesting story. A who dunnit or who is the double crosser. I appreciated reading about people my age, who are flawed and not OP. Nice spice. Just enough to leave me wanting. I love the main male character.
Sets you up for the rest of the books but not on a cliffhanger 🙏
Happily listen to Christian read anything. I chose this partly because he is the narrator. Muffy on the other hand drags her vowels and by 3/4 of the way in, I started grinding my teeth. If the book had been three hours shorter I could have coped better with her style. I didn’t notice it at the start at all.

I love Christian Fox

Got this ‘included’. My first book by this author and was very happy I listened to it.
Good characters with an interesting story, lots of plot twists, a bit of a whodunnit really. Great chemistry with the leads🔥🔥and was surprised that they were meant to be older ie 30s, which was a refreshing change. It made them seem more sensible and level headed and have a normal outlook on life, rather than a bit young and naive. Often for this genre, the female lead is usually very early 20’s and the male is often portrayed as 8-10+ years older, she will often be a bit ditsy and he, a typical Alfa man of the world. It made it seem more real and believable that they were just regular people 👍 It had a bit of everything, ✔️ all 📦.
I will definitely be off to get the next in series. Highly recommend 👍🙂

A really good listen 👍

Ideal for fans of Kristen Ashley. I fancied something light and sexy and this is that but just a bit too light for me.
