Deena is high profile/celebrities of a lawyer in a family practice that comes across as the women that you don’t want to mess with. Deena was married once but he turned out to be the last man she vowed to take on serious in her life time. Deena is a great person but she does have her own issues that follow her up until the end of the book.

Charles is a great detective that has been married once and out of that marriage came a child/son that left him a single father. Between beening a father/detective is all he looks forward to in his life time. Until one day he is sitting at his desk and Deena comes in for a fight to get her client out of jail. The sight of this beautiful young woman turns his world upside down and inside out. Now Charles has to figure out how he’s going to get her to want him as much as he wants her, he already know that she’s out of his league but that gives him more to fight with.

The book is a great read if you are looking for romance and a little police action in the mix. There’s characters that is very well developed and some that’s not that really throws the book. Its needs more substance of background work on the characters, if this was done it would flow so freely. Although I’m complaining about this one book, the author is a great writer and has other titles out there for your enjoyment so look them up.

Not a bad read -- lots of street language to make it authentic, but also lots of typos. There were a couple of words that had an "l" at the end that shouldn't have. The word build was used instead of built, etc. etc. This book could have used some major editing. I cannot tell you the number of times I got tripped up as I was reading due to the errors.

Good book, although there were a couple of errors the editor should have caught. Loved the two main characters. Minor characters were good, so glad the jerk ex boyfriend redeemed himself in the end.
