Brenna & Matteo are the newest couple from this amazing writing team!! Like the other books from this amazing author, their book is filled with love, hope, laughs, and some suspense as well.

Bren & Matteo were just a little different from the previous stories from this author, and it was enough to draw me in ..... make me wonder what they were up to now. Their love isn't the typical work place love story, how can it be when they both work for the FBI. Of course the large Italian family that gets involved in their lives doesn't help the situation, or does it??

While these two are both determined to have their careers, the question becomes will they be able to fight their attraction and feelings when all these other obstacles are being thrown in? Will they want to fight the chemistry that pulls them together?? Will Matteo be able to admit that he needs her? Will Bren be able to admit she needs him??

This is a standalone romance. Sarah O’Rourke you have done it again. This book was amazing.


FBI profiler Matteo Cassano gives the orders, not taking them. Well as long as they aren't orders from Mama Cassano. He is a legend in the FBI and is somewhat of a control freak. He could have any woman he wants, abs probable had, but that was before he meets the younger Brenna Langley. She just might be the one woman who changes life for the better.
Brenna Langley is professional, focused, and determined to move ahead in the FBI. She had her father to thank for getting into this career, he always pushed her. She had decided that romance was out for her until she meet the older Matt Cassano. They may end before they even begin if she can just save him from his stubborn self.


This was such a sexy story. I would say cute but that just doesn't get my point across. My all time favorite scene in this book was when Brenna meet his family. Boy are they a force to reckoned with. I don't actually think she really understood what she was getting into. Even when he warned her. I'm not giving spoilers away. You would just have to read the book to understand why i liked it. Now Brenna, wow, she is a really hard worker. When she sets her mind to something she gets it done. That's probably why she makes an amazing FBI agent. Now Matt i love me a good silver fox. They way Sarah O'Rourke decried him in her book, i swooned, i will admit it. He was sexy, at least in my mind. But Matt honey you almost lost me to your own stubbornness, all Brenna wanted to do was take care of you. When these two got together or was fireworks. They are amazing together. The sex scenes, oh man the sex scenes, i needed a cold shower after. Mama Cassano, she is a hoot. She alone is a force to be reckoned with. Being the only boy with 3 other sisters had to have been difficult but Mama loves her boy. And she really knows everything. It was kind of scary. I loved how she knew before Brenna and Matt that they would be amazing together.

I have to admit, I really have no clear expectations for this book. After reading this book, I can say now that I adore this story! It is funny, it has some drama (but not too draining) and the heat level is off the roof! I also love that I see some influences from my all-time favourite show Criminal Minds in this book. Do note that although this book is about 2 FBI profilers, it doesn't touch much (if at all) about the cases that the H/h is working on. The book focused more about their relationship. All in all, I enjoyed reading and I highly recommend this book.

No cliffhanger, it is standalone and you'll love the HEA.
