This is more a mystery/crime book with an underlying romance. I liked both MC's, Beck is a Denver cop recovering from a shooting that left him with a shoulder injury and PTSD and also resulted in the death of his partner and Zach, an FBI profiler who is also dealing with the aftermath of an attack he suffered while working a case, and thought they had good chemistry. Each is working through their own trauma while under intense job pressure and trying to work out their feelings towards e ...more

A not out Beck seemed to have good rapport with his Captain but sort of distancing himself from the rest of the squad after ...more

I started the book with high hope but came away a bit disappointed. I expected a good mix of mystery and romance, however, the romance itself faltered about 60% into the story and eventually had a sort of "big misunderstanding" to create tension. The mystery was partly ruined by the multi-POV storytelling, everything was too clearly laid out, there's no mystery left. That is ok for some mysteries, because sometimes the "why" is more interesting, but in this case, the why is a rather convenient e

A bit overwrought, definitely improbable, ends with a whimper.
