I was given this book as a Beta read in exchange for my honest review.
This book is set to be released around Oct 2013.
This was another fine book by Jill Sanders. This is the fourth book in the Pride Series, although it almost felt like it didn't quite belong.
This is the story of Ric and Rob. When Ric's gallery, The Blue Spot gets robbed it's up to Portland's finest to solve the case. While answering questions and showing the police around, he notices a young female officer walking around like she owned the place. But no one says a thing to her, interesting.
Ric is intrigued by this female, but is told to wait for Detective Rob Stanton in his office. So when the mystery female walks in he is very surprised to learn she is the lead detective, Rob Stanton. Well actually Roberta, but Rob for short, named after her father Robert. Ric can not keep her out of his mind.
Rob on the other hand, can't stand the egotistical, arrogant Ric. Who does he think he is? She has a murder/robbery investigation to deal with, and he wants to play games. Rob took an oath to serve and protect and she takes her job very seriously. But is it possible to serve and protect someone constantly without falling for them. Can she leave emotions out of it, and keep a distinct line between professional and personal?
I started this book, not really caring for Ric. I've had mixed feelings for him, throughout the series. He always seemed to have a secret agenda, that just felt shady to me. But I must say I really like him now. He just seems to be misunderstood and misjudged a lot. Hopefully, I'm not just another girl to fall for his charm.
I guess my only issue with this book is that I was expecting more of Pride in it. While we do get a glimpse of Pride and the Jordan bunch, 75-80% of the book is set in Portland. This keeps the story on track, but was a little disappointing. I would have loved to see tons of Pride in the last book of the Pride Series.
Thanks to the author for allowing me another peek at Iian, lol. I know, not even his book, but I still love him. I have really enjoyed the series, and am hoping this truly isn't the end. Although because of the crazy reading order I did, I still get to go back and get more in book 2. (
