Like clockwork, an exquisite stranger sashays into his bar, orders up a shot of Jack Daniel’s, and stirs up his curiosity— not to mention his libido. Awaiting the arrival of this mysterious woman, night after night, has Ethan Bearbower growling in frustration.
Or maybe it’s her hasty retreat after slamming the whiskey that’s driving him crazy. Lord knows her choice of attire isn’t improving his condition in the least—one night she’s dressed like a shy, sweet nymph, and the next, a seductive dominatrix.
No wonder he’s going out of his mind.

With explosive chemistry and tenderly whispered words of love, their relationship seems destined to last forever…until Danielle’s unrelenting search brings danger to her doorstep.

*I recieved this in exhange for an honest review*
Danielle wants to know what happened to her sister, who was murdered. And the best way to go about that is to go to where it happened and investigate herself. Despite being determined, Danielle learns that it's much harder than she thought, but she's not letting this go. She goes to the same bar every night in hopes that she'll learn something new.
Ethan finds himself curious about the woman in the bar. She comes in every night, drinks a little, talks to random people, and leaves. His curiosity gets the better of him, and he follows her home, wanting her to be safe once he sees where she lives.
Danielle learns that Ethan might be able to help her on the quest to find out what happened. The police force trust him, so why shouldn't she? But the more she finds out, the closer she comes to danger.
This was a pretty good read. I loved the mystery that surrounds the story, Danielle's determination to figure out what happened, and the romance that blooms along the way. Everything was perfect with timing. Nothing was too fast, and I didn't really see some things coming. I love stories that are heavy in romance and light in mystery, so this one was perfect for me. Ethan and Danielle worked well together, and it was cute seeing Ethan get protective of her, even though Danielle can take care of herself.
This is book 2 but it can be read as a standalone. I'll have to read book 1 now! So if you like romance, light mystery, and suspense, this is your story!
