I've been missing suspenseful romances lately and decided to request a copy of this one even though it's the third in the series. It can definitely be read as a standalone, though some previous couples/characters were clearly explored and established in previous series.
This is my first Tee O'Fallon book and I was definitely drawn to it by the cover! I did not realize that that book would take place in New Jersey which was an interesting little surprise for me, an NJ librarian.
I feel like O'Fallon sort of made a big deal about the protagonists, Tess and Eric, having a "previous relationship"...even though they didn't actually have a relationship. It seems like they just had the hots for each other but were too shy to chase after one another. I think K-9s are very cool and it was interesting that Eric commands Tiger in what I am assuming is German.
Tess and Eric have had very troubling childhoods--Tess more so, in my opinion (a victim of abuse and meant to be given to her stepfather's friend at age 18). But Eric of course balances out the angst with having witnessed the death of his own friends/colleagues while he survived. The unfortunate connection between them is quite obvious...
Overall, a fun and steamy read that has just enough action to keep you on your toes.
*Content/trigger warnings: Depictions of unwanted sexual advances (groping).
