Description

Homicide detective Tori Hunter was used to doing things her way. But even after six different partners in seven years, she was not prepared for the hot-tempered Samantha Kennedy. Samantha, on the other hand, was trying to juggle a new job and a demanding boyfriend and now finds herself with an even greater challenge - being partnered with the most difficult detective in the entire squad. After a brief terrorist scare disrupts their serial killer investigation, the two women find themselves growing closer. Sam begins to question the relationship with her longtime boyfriend, and Tori, never one to allow anyone to get too close, begins to feel her defenses slipping in Sam's presence. While facing a serial killer and drug deals gone bad, the two detectives struggle with their feelings, trying to maintain their professional relationship while keeping their nearly flammable physical relationship in check.

Top knotch Police portrayal / Love Story

This book is my absolute fav. when the Audible version came out, I had to have it. Tori is such a strong character that allows the listener to join her in her thoughts and work. Sam compliments her in so many ways. I feel a bond with these characters that I feel hurt theres an ending.

Mixed up

Got to wondering about half way through this book if it was a detective story or a gay rights manifesto/romance type book. Turns out, it was a bit of both; a book with a pretty good murder mystery in it along with a pretty strong story about how women in a traditionally mail job had to work twice as hard to be accepted as competent, especially if gay. And to top it off, there's a burgeoning romance sub-plot between two women, one gay and the other in a straight relationship who becomes interested in the gay women.

Tori Hunter is the veteran homicide cop who is also a lesbian, and doesn't hide it. She can't get along with a male partner though. Along comes Samantha, a beautiful girl (what else, can't have an ugly girl, can we...) from a different department who has just transferred into homicide and is partnered up with Hunter.

Samantha is straight, has a boyfriend, and really wants to fit into homicide, but she also runs into the various anti-woman characters. As their partnership forms, Sam realizes she's got feelings for Hunter, and the rest goes along rather predictably. Then, the murder gets interesting, and the relationship becomes background, then the relationship becomes primary, and the murder gets interesting, and so on and so forth.

It actually made for a pretty darn good book, beyond some of the predictability. Let me stress, only the relationship issues were predicable, and a bit tiring at times, honestly. I mean, seriously: dump the guy Sam, and go with your heart, already, would you? Don't worry about him. He's a typical shallow guy. He'll find another girl and be fine. Quit worrying about him and worry about you.

Message is finally received and the bad guy is pursued and finally caught, which is the more interesting part of the story. The guys in the unit are impressed, and as the sun sets, all is well.

Pretty good book. No sordid sex scenes, which I appreciated, given the tendencies of many "romance" novels these days, and a pretty good murder mystery.

Very satisfying use of a credit

Abby Craden's terrific narration takes a good romance/police procedural and turns it into a very compelling and satisfying use of a credit.

Great storyline and intrigue

Very good characters, easy to follow ,good story telling both by the author and the narrator. Could've gone on for more hours. I am ready for the sequels . The actual sex scenes were appropriate and touching and hot, but it screamed of reality and I like that. Lots of hours to listen to and pass the time .I never got bored or confused at where things were going -not once!

Trigger warning

I honestly couldn't stop listening to this book, and listen to it for two straight days. I like the story, although the number dead is quite high, it may be a bit unrealistic, but it was so good. I was initially frustrated about how long it took for the characters to get together, but, the lead-up and building was good, it wasn't repetitious and boring. there is a raping it, which may be a trigger warning for some, but is not describing much detail, and it kind of surprised me that it came in in the story. however, I find this one by Hill very good and is super hot when they do get together and has excellent build up.

Could’ve been 5 stars across the board...

**SPOILERS**

This is a good book. I’m a fan of the series & cant wait for more. Solid plot & story, great characters & their development throughout make them even more likable, author did awesome job with the buildup between Tori & Sam (gradually bringing them together as a couple). All of that goes a long way towards making the reader suspend reality for a bit as you listen along & become invested in the story/people. My one problem was the sexual assault aspect mid-book. It totally slices right through the fantasy world being created up to that point & harshly snaps you back in the reality. I found it distracting.

Instead of enjoying the romantic scenes I kept reminding myself Sam was raped less than a week ago lol. The believability of the storyline just isn’t there for me. I’m supposed to give my buy-in to a couple who share their first experience of love making together just a couple days after one of those women was kidnapped, tortured, & violently gang raped? I buy that a female cop would be willing to return to street duty too quickly after such a brutal attack. It’s in most cop’s nature to bury painful experiences & run from their fears.

But I cannot believe any woman would be so quick to seek out that type of intimacy so soon after a sexual assault—especially the type & degree that’s described in this story. It’s just not believable at all to me. Even if the intimacy is with another woman (instead of a man, like her attackers), whom she was falling in love with prior to the attack.

In fact, I feel the author missed a great opportunity to not only lengthen the book overall, but also to build Tori & Sam’s connection on an even more deeper level (i.e. Tori could’ve patiently & compassionately helped Sam recover for at least a couple weeks while slowly leading up to their first sexual encounter with one another). I feel it should’ve been handled that way OR written in a way that the rape was prevented altogether by Tori showing up to save the day just before things escalated. If it was played out that way I’d totally believe Sam would be open to having sex with someone she loved & trusted within a week of the attack. Otherwise, it’s just not believable...I’m sorry.

This really really bugged me. I found myself pretending the rape hadn’t even occurred at all in order to stomach the intimacy being explored between these women after the fact.

I would’ve given 5 stars in all 3 categories if it wasn’t for that...

Loved this book!

Great read! If you're looking for a steamy lesbian romance with lots of actions, I recommend this book.
I literally could not put it down. The two women detectives showed the strength and courage of superheroes in the face of horrors and pain. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is that it should have a warning about the rape scene.
This is a really beautiful love story and should have been included in the Romance Package.

Important trigger warnings.

I don't normally write reviews, but there's a few important things prospective listeners should know before purchase.

First and foremost, the story includes a fairly graphic rape scene. I personally had trouble with it, probably would not have made the purchase had I know earlier; so if this is a triggering topic, then you might want to find a different title. The characters also move past the emotional fallout of the assault quite quickly, which bothered me a bit given my experiences.

Second, this title deals with some transgender issues in the story. The author seemed to attempt to approach the topic with some sensitivity (from the point of view of the main character), especially given that the book was written over a decade ago. However, the author/characters conflate transgender with transvestite, misgender characters at times (and the minor offense of using the term 'transgendered'), and reinforce the trope of "men in dresses". I personally don't feel that it was done maliciously, but it was still uncomfortable to read and more than a little disappointing.

As for the story, it's entertaining and a good read, but not a masterpiece. Furthermore the character of "Sam" sees too little character development and needs saving so often, it stretches her credibility as a detective. But in the end, I'll give the story 3 1/2 stars, rounded up because I do like a good crime thriller.

Spoiler alert!

Spoiler alert!! Graphic rape scene, which is poorly handled. A real shame since the first half was quite nice.
