Publisher's summary

Luke Roberts came to the small, lazy town of Kilgore, Texas, with one thing on his mind: forgetting. He wanted to forget why he left. Forget those emerald green eyes that haunted his dreams. And forget how it felt to have his heart ripped out of his chest by a woman who didn't like the fact that he had a child. It was something he'd been doing a damn fine job of doing, too. Until Reese smashed through every one of his defenses and made him feel again.

Reese Doherty was just trying to do the best for her little girl. So she moved to the little boomtown nearly an hour from where she grew up to be the school nurse for Kilgore's littlest people. That's where she met him. The SWAT officer, the man that would change her life forever.

But Luke was a hero. A man used to risking his life to make the world a safer place. Something Reese had to decide whether she could handle or not. Preferably before her and her daughter became too attached.

Just when she was ready to give him her whole heart, her world took a huge hit, and everything she thought she knew wasn't as it seemed.

Luke wasn't a quitter, though. Damn far from it, and he'd prove to her that he'd be there when the dust settled.

Contains mature themes.

Suspenseful SWAT team romance

Fast moving romance great narration. Each of the main characters have a young daughter which UPS the sweet factor. Very erotic story with murder and intrigue.

Wow

If you’re single, hold on to your seats and might need to download dating apps... it’s hot, sexy, emotional, and beyond anything else frustrating to read single.

Author uses amazing description of everything making the characters relatable to life and easy to imagine scenes. The dual voice audio really sells the book too. Can’t read all the books by this author!

Great storyline

A perfect balance of suspense, steamy sex & comedy. As an avid audiobook listener, this was one of my favorites.

Reese and Luke

The first time I read this book was in 2016, Since then I have re-read it several times. But listening to this on audiobook is so much better. This is the first book in the KPD Swat series. This is an entertaining, page turner, that will make you swoon, melt your heart and leave you with a smile on your face. Lani Lynn Vale has a beautifully unique way of making you feel like you are a part of the story. I enjoyed every single second of this story. (and will continue when I read it again). Narration is perfection!

Great narration! FMC w/ oddly Antiquated views

One of my favorite female narrators. Story was predictable, but good! Enough character development to make up for the instalove trope (not my fave). What bugged me was how the FMC talked about living with her boyfriend as living in sin and not wanting to do that bc it wasn’t the morals she wanted to impart her daughter… also had said something like don’t be a slut/whore as a self-imposed rule. I was surprised she was willing to have pre-marital sex (gasp) so often and be so sexually-motivated(?). No religion was mentioned, the relationship was stable (both adults healthy and loving) and the daughter wasn’t in a bad situation. Getting bogged down into needing to be married to live together as “right” seemed off and didn’t fit the situation IMO. Also there were numbers off with a 25 year old having 8 years experience in the military.
