I can’t tell if this is forced proximity or a bit of Stockholm syndrome, but I like Chief Luke so I’m going to pick the former. Feel like these series keeps getting better and like how the source of conflict flows between them all. Keep telling myself to read something else, but she sets up the next one so well it’s had to stop.

Obsessed! Luke and Scarlett!!!!!! AHHHHH I love them. This series honestly just keeps getting better and better. The cliffhanger at the end getting us ready for the next book. Jaw on the ground.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Obsessed. There's nothing I would change because it was perfection (must read + reread)
SPICE: 0.5: one to two lightly described, mostly fade to black
Luke Rosen, regretful of his role as chief of police, meets Scarlett Marks on a fateful night marked by bloodshed. Now, she resides under his roof due to his duty to serve and protect. Scarlett challenges Luke's ordered life, defying his commands and disregarding the danger posed by a motorcycle gang. Despite her defiance, Luke finds himself drawn to Scarlett's strength, courage, and beauty. To keep her safe, Luke faces a difficult choice: uphold his values as a cop at the risk of Scarlett's survival or defy protocol to shield the woman who has captured his heart.
Oh the growth oh the healing this book was ultimate perfection in my eyes. We got to see Luke fall in love with someone he never planned to let in. While we got to see Scarlett heal her relationship with her sister and herself. Luke was there to help her build her confidence and given her the strength and safety she needs to heal. The plot had me absolutely GRIPPED and I loved the forced proximity element that it has.
Tropes: forced proximity, small town, romantic suspense, witness protection
Triggers: domestic abuse, suicide mentions

This book has all the “feels”, great emotional depth, an intriguing story and so many great characters.
I love the the underlying themes in this book.
One of the biggest was discovering your unknown strength.
I loved seeing Scarlett slowly realize her strength and worth despite mistakes she made(and she’s had a very rough life.)
Scarlett was a character I wasn’t sure about at first, she quickly became very likable. I love her quirkiness and her generosity.
There’s tension and mystery through the story as Scarlett is in hiding from a Motorcycle Club that’s “after” her.
The romance between the characters was very fun, sweet and satisfying. I loved these two together!
Luke is a great guy and we get to see his sexy side, too! He’s steady, kind and strong.
They have great chemistry and emotional connection. I loved the flow of their relationship. It had a natural feeling and pace.
Characters from the previous books in the series are in the story and I really love them all!
There’s a point where Luke really has to question his morals and I loved that part of his journey.
I was on the edge of my seat a bit throughout wondering if Scarlett would be found and if so, what were the consequences for everyone going to be.
Very satisfying with great characters!
This series continues to entertain me. I really enjoyed it!
