Tessa Bailey

The opportunity was just too damn delicious for Ginger Peet to pass up. The purse full of money she finds—$50,000 to be exact—could give her and her teen sister the new start they need. So she grabs the cash, her gothy sibling, and their life-sized statue of Dolly Parton, and blows outta Nashville in a cloud of dust. Chicago, here we come... Turns out, Chicago has some pretty hot cops. Hot, intense, naughty-lookin' cops like Derek Tyler, who looks like he could eat a girl up and leave her begging for more. And more. Tempting as he is, getting involved with the sexy homicide lieutenant next door poses a teensy problem for a gal who's on the lam. But one thing is certain—Derek's onto her, and he wants more than just a taste. And as far as he's concerned, possession is nine-tenths of the law. Each book in the Line of Duty series is STANDALONE: * Protecting What's His * Officer Off Limits * Asking for Trouble * Staking His Claim * Protecting What's Theirs

Really steamy and super unrealistic. Derek was super alpha male. Wasn't too bad given the tone of the book is over the top. I did, at one point or two, think a character was secretly evil (setting things up), but turns out said character was as they said they were.

I have been reading this series out of order and is fine as I believe they can be stand alone novels. Tessa Bailey's alpha male-dirty talking hero Derek is delicious. Love that not only is he over protective of Ginger but he is protective of her sister too. Ginger and Derek push each other buttons right from the start. They have to work twice has hard at their relationship. She has been innocent of men and he lacked experience being in an actual relationship. If I did not fall so hard for Derek this would of most likely been a 3-stars liked it novel. Ginger was a little out there for my liking. I love her devotion to get her sister away from danger.

Ginger Peet has never regretted leaving Nashville with her sister and their life-sized statue of Dolly Parton. Now she's settled in Chicago with Lieutenant Derek Tyler, spending her nights pressed against every inch of his hard, dominating, and panty-meltingly-hot body. And there's nowhere Derek would rather be than reminding Ginger—thoroughly and exquisitely—that she belongs to him. But then trouble hits the streets of Chicago. The kind of bust the old-school boys call a "widow-maker." To keep Ginger safe, Derek's forced to shut her out and keep himself away from her luscious body, or risk losing her forever. But Ginger has just been presented with some, er, unexpected news. And right now, it's best she keeps that news to herself. Because Derek stands to lose far more than he knows, until he takes the law—and Ginger—into his own hands one last time... Previously released as part of the Lovers Unmasked anthology.

So thrilling

I loved how dominating, possessive, and sexy Derek was. It was such an amazing book and slightly different from others too. Great read.

Derek is afraid to tell Ginger his life is at risk on a dangerous mission and Ginger is struggling with how to tell Derek she's pregnant when he's suddenly withdrawing. Worried Derek is leaving her, she contemplates their courtship, their marriage, and how she ended up pregnant to begin with. A sweet, super steamy short story with our favorite couple. Good to see them again!

When Ginger finds a bag of cash left behind by her drug addict, terrible mother, she doesn't hesitate. Grabbing the money, her teenage sister Willa, and their statue of Dolly Parton, Ginger leaves Tennessee behind hoping Chicago will lead to a better life for her and her sister.

But, while moving in Ginger is flummoxed by the immediate attraction she has to Lt. Derek Tyler, Chicago PD and her neighbor. Their immediate chemistry is apparent, but Ginger has no desire to be involved with the law, even in bed. 

When their apartment ceiling collapses one night, Ginger and Willa take up Derek's offer to move in to his apartment. His payment? Ginger must accompany him as his date to a police charity ball. 

For Derek, he's afraid his dark desires and control issues will scare Ginger away. He wants her everything and is set to convince Ginger she's the one for him.

When Ginger's past theft comes back to haunt her, can Derek really protect her?

Super hot. Wow. Light spanking, dirty talk, and a virgin heroine. Loving Tessa Bailey's work right now.

This book did exactly what I needed it to do... pull me out of a reading slump. I can always rely on Tessa's dirty-talking men to do just that. 

Review to come.
