I must say I am very intrigued by the brash and detailed writing style Greer engaged in this book. I am new to this author and went in hoping for brilliance, and I was not let down. I know part of the straight-forward, brash and something lewd writing was based round the main character, as that was his personality. In my mind that made the story! I liked that the author went the extra mile to really pop the characters main characteristics. It felt as though we were connecting with the person and really getting to know his true side.
However, we were given a huge surprise when the author gave us a major twist and had the detective get lost on his journey. He's never npfailed to get the job done and has never let action get in the way of his work, no matter who she was, but he's never met one like this one. The Wild and very sexy turn we took threw me and in a brilliant way. The cocky man was thrown away and out came this new man, the one who was hidden all along. The author gave us depth beyond the norm and really creates characters who were levels of unique personality points and unexpected behaviour, just like real life.
I loved it.
Then we had the excellent pace. We were thrown through a whirl of sex, devious and cocky behaviour, slowed right up as we passed by the epic woman to catch his eye and then thrown straight back in the deep end, as we saw where that led. I liked it. It wS sexy, spicy and very exciting. I liked that I was always kept on my toes, waiting and wondering where we would be taken next.
I highly highly recommend this read and cannot wait to read more by this author.

I have to say that W.S. Greer has grown remarkably as a writer. When I read [b:Kingpin|28931866|Kingpin (An Italian Mafia Romance Duet #1)|W.S. Greer|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1456561532s/28931866.jpg|49150698], I knew that he would become an incredible resource and blessing to the romantic suspense genre, and this book has proven me right! Now I think classifying this story as really romantic is a bit of a stretch, but this man sure banged out one hell of a suspenseful thriller!
This story was part Criminal Minds meets CSI meets "a show involving a guy who can't resist sex because he's dealing with a broken heart" LOL!! Detective Jarrod Granger was exactly as the blurb described him: cocky, arrogant and a manwhore. He was a loose cannon, hot-tempered and impatient. But he knew how to get the job done because he was damn good at it. His latest case involved a serial killer who was decapitating women and putting them on display like snowmen. Trying to find a killer yet Jarrod still found time to bang some women too. Stress relief, you know? All while he desperately pined away for Stacey, the woman who owned his heart.
There's a quote in this book that I think will stick with me for quite some time:
This book was raw, intense, exciting, graphic and somehow amazingly sexy too. If you're looking for a hearts and flowers kind of romance, you won't find that here. This was dark and suspenseful and I can't wait to read more of Jarrod!!

"You can't call a guy a big hairy tranny dick without him getting offended," - Marcus to Jarrod. Summed up Jarrod's style to a TEE!!
