Borrowed Time by Diane Benefiel
5.0
Borrowed Time is the story of a cop who suspects the heroine of dealing (in heroin) with her boyfriend (pun intended!). It is Book One of the Brothers Garretson.
Trigger Warning: Kidnapping, Violence
Synopsis:
Jon Davidson suspects Rane Smith of drug smuggling due to her relations with the DiNardos family. He goes undercover and rents the apartment above Rane's place. What he never expected was to fall for her, and hard.
Rane is wary of her neighbourhood in Seattle, especially since her ex, Kyle DiNardo, got out of jail. Even though she has Cooper, the purebred German shepherd, and now a tenant in the form of Jon, she doesn't know when she will feel safe again.
Review:
Book One of the Brothers Garretson, the story has been narrated in the third-person. The way it jumped right into the action, I loved that about it. There is Jon's big brother Nathan, Rane's dangerous and crazy ex, and her cop father who did something not by the books years ago.
Rane is a certified emergency nurse. The rising incidents of drug abuse coming into the hospital are making her feel helpless. And with Kyle out of prison, she can't be sure that she isn't endangering Jon as well. Seeing that there have been attempts to break into her house.
Borrowed Time is romantic suspense, but there is this normality to it. It felt kind of old school, with Jon and Rane's off-the-charts chemistry. The gradual development of their relationship was so sweet and believable.
This was my first read by [a:Diane Benefiel|8075321|Diane Benefiel|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1593015213p2/8075321.jpg] and I can't wait to read all her books. Yep, it is that good.
The climax is thrilling and the ending...however many words I use to describe it is less. Especially the epilogue, which was breath-taking, heart-warming, and charming, all at once! Such a beautiful story, and rounded up so nicely.
P.S. The author has also given hints at the ending for the next book!
Thank you to Grey's Promotions for an e-ARC of the book.
