INSTANT ATTRACTION IS A POWERFUL THING.

Six months of dancing around each other
led to one explosive night
and two weeks without a word.

Only then did I learn the truth:
The man I’d wanted since he walked into Sailor’s Grave Tattoo Parlor
was actually an undercover cop.

And the worst part is,
I don’t even know his real name.

BUT WHAT IF ATTRACTION ISN’T ENOUGH?

For over eight months I held back.
Except for that one night when I couldn’t fight it anymore.
I’d wanted her from the beginning,
but I should have kept waiting until my secrets weren’t between us.

Now, I have the ultimate challenge before me:
convince the inked goddess of a receptionist
to at least let me keep her safe,
even if she won’t give me another chance.

This book struck a chord with me right away. I loved how it started. I loved the way the prologue started with how Braden and Jess hooked up but felt like it was full of history and chemistry. I loved how Braden tried to stay away from her until he couldn't. Until he turned her down and was afraid she'd move on and he'd miss his chance completely. And I especially loved how when he was free to come back to her, he did. As in immediately and she was the first thing he did that wasn't work related.

I loved that he was seeking her out before he even knew something happened to her. And speaking of what happened to her, let me just say I wasn't expecting that.

I loved how patient Braden was, how hard he worked to win Jess over after coming back. He set out to woo her. And of course protect her. I will admit that I was surprised that her stalker didn't play more of a roll throughout the book. There was the initial issue and lots of waiting and watching for him with no success and then things kicked into high gear with that part.

Overall, I really loved this book. I definitely want to go back and read the first book and I loon forward to more books in the Sailor's Grave series!
