Good book with a nice blend of romance and suspense. Kiely is a PI with her family's business, Colton Investigations. She has a reputation for getting the job done, and also for pushing the envelope of legality. This has put her at odds with Cooper Winston, a by-the-book FBI agent. Because of her family's excellent reputation, they frequently work with local law enforcement, including the FBI. She currently assists with a case that also has a personal connection for her. When a tip comes in that

I've given this a D at AAR.
The Colton 911: Grand Rapids series is part of a wider universe featuring members of the Colton family (who are all military, law enforcement or in some other related profession) who live and work across the US. It’s a multi-author series, in which all the books are supposed to be able to stand alone, but as I quickly discovered not long after I started reading Colton 911: Agent By Her Side (book four in the Grand Rapids series) the need to incorporate variou ...more

Kiely is a Private Investigator with her family, and Cooper is an FBI Agent working on a case that pulls Kiely into the investigation. Cooper is also a single father, and I enjoyed that aspect of this story. The mystery that Kiely and Cooper have to solve kept me on the edge of my seat and intrigued me from start to finish.

gobbled up this book over the weekend! Kiely and Cooper are total opposites but their chemistry is palpable. The book starts off with a bang when something unthinkable happens to Agent Cooper Winston and his family. Kiely Colton, a PI steps in to give him a helping hand, despite not getting along with him at first. Of course, once they are in forced proximity (one of my favorite tropes/scenarios) things heat up. The pace is super quick, the passion is intense and the writing is flawless as usual

Wow, I did not realize the Colton series was so expansive! It’s fantastic!
Let’s see, this one was fun! The suspense was gripping. The romance was sweet and steamy. I like how Kiely and Winston don’t get along at first, but they grow to care for each other. It’s adorable how she bonds with his son and takes care of them both. Also, her sisters showing up at the right times was humorous because they knew she has feelings for him!

This book really grabs your interest from the beginning and never lets go.
A tip comes in on the FBI line relaying the location of a suspect. PI Kiely Colton takes the tip and wants to follow up but Special Agent Cooper Winston isn't sure. Then his son is kidnapped and he is found at the location that came through on the tip. This draws the couple into a web of deceit that is a real nail biter.

Sometimes there comes along in a series one story that simply ticks off all the ‘just right for me buttons’. You know the kind. A heroine who is smart, gutsy, can be vulnerable and can change her life plan when the situation merits it. A hero who has gone through the worst life can offer and come out the other side whole but badly bruised, a man who isn’t so wrapped up in the past that he cannot see a different future.

When unlikely couple Kiely and Cooper find themselves working together, unexpected sparks fly.
Agent by Her Side is an emotionally satisfying, very romantic entry in the Colton 911: Grand Rapids series.

An emotional race against time!

I totally enjoyed this romantic suspense from beginning to end. Cooper Winston is a single dad trying to do everything. He's working the Revitayou case and trying to raise his 2-year-old son Alfie after his wife died.

Who are Cooper and Kiely? Where are they from? What does each do for a living? Who is Claire Miller? What about Wes Matthews? What do we learn? Who is Alfred? I liked him a lot!! What do we learn about Alfred and Sara? Oh, goodness gracious! From kidnappings to deaths, to attempted murder, and more, this book keeps you on the edge of your seat! I fell in love with certain characters in this story! I shed a few tears as well. Read and see why!

Amazing
This story was the perfect balance of romance and suspense. Cooper Winston was the perfect match for Kiely Colton. They worked well together. My favorite scene was where they tackled a bad guy as a team. This one is highly recommended by me. Expect sensual loves, nail biting suspense and a few surprises.

I have become kinda in love with the Colton 911 series with the different authors to give it flavor. In this one I was introduced to a new author to me whom gives us a special agent. PI Kiely and FBI Cooper must work together even though there is some bucking about it at first. You find out Cooper is a good guy right away because of how great a job he is doing as a single dad. His son will steal your heart so be careful. The balance is a good one in this with the suspense that has intrigue along
