In the Arms of the Wind

WindTorn #3

by Charlotte Boyett-Compo

Kaycee Connor was in the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong man. Listening to her date being assassinated as she hid in his safe room, she would never forget the chilling words that had come from the killer's lips.Assigned to investigate the brutal crime, Police Detective Daniel Gallagher took one look at Kaycee and lost his heart. Trembling, terrified, her eyes filled with hurt, she made Danny feel things he had thought died long ago. Wanting to protect her, to keep her out of harm's way, he'll do whatever it takes to shield her from danger even if it means going up against a powerful crime family.Hot passion brews like a hurricane along the Georgia coast as Danny and Kaycee weather the storm of desire flooding through their bodies. While the flashing lightning, lashing winds and driving rain whip their yearning to fever pitch, a treacherous enemy lies in wait to blow the lovers apart.Reader Story includes a non-consensual male/male scene. However, while the scene is non-detailed, the post-emotional aspects are shared with the reader.

I loved this book. It was fast paced had very interesting characters with a suspenseful, erotic storyline that kept me on the edge of my seat! There are some very funny as well as very sad moments throughtout the novel. It was like such a rollercoaster to me...and I loved every minute of it!
There was definately more to the hero that meets the eye...all is not what it seems with him. I loved that he was flawed (very flawed) but, he grew and evolved just like the heroine. I loved their relationship. It was loving, supportive and passionate.
I will definately buy more from this author. I have read some short stories by her, but I plan on getting her longer novels after reading this story.
If you are offended by strong language and some very hot sex, well this story is not for you.
This is an E-Book with Ellora's Cave Publishing.
