BOOK SUMMARY
It was more than another blind date . . .
It was DEA Agent Caden Cooke’s third chance to impress beautiful chef Mia Martin. He’d already stood her up twice, and was shocked she was even giving him another chance. For Caden, taking down the bad guys is important, but Mia’s made it clear there’s no excuse for his bad behavior. So he’s vowed to make it worth her while with an apology he’s cooked up just for her.
From the moment they meet, it’s clear this isn’t just another fix up. The sparks flying between them are undeniable; the tension is electric. Then, suddenly, the best moments of their lives turn treacherous when a drug dealer set on revenge puts their lives in danger. And Mia and Caden quickly realize they will do anything to protect the other—and live for the love neither of them expected.

EXCERPT
He really
wanted to kiss her.
“You’re worried
about work.”
He scanned
the quiet street and the light traffic this time of night. He didn’t think
Marco stupid enough to stay in the city. Too many cops out looking for him. He
wondered if someone was watching his place, waiting for him to come home.
“Work is
always on my mind, but right now, there’s only one thing I’m thinking about.”
He closed the distance between them and slipped his free hand around her back,
the ends of her hair brushing his hand, and pulled her close. He stared down
into her surprised eyes and smiled. “You promised me a good-night kiss.”
Her hand
came up and rested on his chest. “Yes, I did. I’m a woman of my word.”
“I’m
counting on that.”
He leaned
down. She rose up to meet him in the middle. Their lips touched, and fire shot
through him with a swift need that burned and consumed every thought in his
head but one: Hold on to her. He pulled her closer, changed the angle of the
kiss, and took it deeper, sweeping his tongue across her soft lips and diving
deep when she sighed and let him in.
CAT'S REVIEW
This novella is a wonderful introduction to Ms. Ryan's new series. While we did meet the characters in a previous work, I love that they are now getting their own stories. Caden and Mia are terrific characters. I really liked Mia - she's strong and independent yet underneath, she really yearns to be loved and protected. Caden is a rough and tough DEA agent who has his own hangups but, again, deep down, just wants love. I liked the pace of their relationship, even with the couple of hangups (which made me smile). There is action as well, which was well balanced with the love story. The only drawback for me was that this is a novella - I really wanted more and more of Caden and Mia. Ms. Ryan's writing style is fluid and easy to follow as well. I highly recommend this one if you enjoy romance with some danger and suspense thrown in. (received ARC for honest review)
