5.0

Trigger warning: Shooting, Bombing

Della Howell and Barrett Logan heat up this book with non-stop action and heartfelt romance.

An impulse buy and an impulse read for this lover of pregnancy romantic suspense. And because moi also loves everything [a:Delores Fossen|240672|Delores Fossen|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1471121575p2/240672.jpg] writes, starting with [b:Mommy Under Cover|2722375|Mommy Under Cover|Delores Fossen|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1528501561l/2722375._SY75_.jpg|2747975].

This one started right in the middle of the action, with someone's murder; the male protagonist's estranged mother being a prime suspect and the tussle with whose jurisdiction it falls on. Barrett or Della's. And the big reveal of her pregnancy of two months!

This story was so interesting, allow me to just count out the elements. This is the first book I read where the male protagonist practically raised his younger brothers, all of whom are in law enforcement, as is his ex lady love, who is fast friends with his estranged mother.

But there is also so much tragedy and grief in this one. Along with so much action. There's bombings, shootouts, car chases, etc., and not a moment of rest. While Barrett is revealed to be about 35 years old there's no indication of Della's age, not that it matters, seeing that the suspense is tight-knit with not a single guess from the beginning till the end about who the actual suspect might be, until it is revealed.

About pregnancy romantic suspense, what I feel adds to the suspense is when she will tell him about the baby and the drama that usually follows; I always feel that this aspect adds to the element of suspense in itself. And add to it the danger and the constant police procedural feels make these my favourite! You will love it if you like non-stop action and the sweetest of endings.
