Description

CRIMES OF PASSION

When she was on the verge of adulthood, Riva Henneman committed a crime and got caught red-handed. Luckily, she was busted by a HOT young cop…who also had a big heart. A one-time SEAL candidate, Officer Ian Hawthorn knew how it felt to have your dreams derailed. So he gave Riva a choice: face prison time or work for him as a confidential informant. But even a get-out-of-jail-free card comes with a cost. . .

Years later, Ian still remembers beautiful, innocent Riva—and the smoldering attraction they shared but both tried to ignore. Will they have a second chance, now that they’re back in each other’s lives? Riva’s work with inner-city children has led to a surprise run-in with Ian, who has his own agenda—one that could put them both in grave danger. Is their desire worth the risk this time?

The high octane suspense and super sizzling romance continues with Turn Me Loose, the third novel in the Alpha Ops series by Anne Calhoun.

    TURN ME LOOSE is a read that will certainly get your adrenaline pumping with its fast pace, fiery chemistry and suspense filled plot. I really enjoyed this novel. Calhoun gives us a great love story all around second chances. I received this ARC copy of Turn Me Loose from St. Martin's Press. This is my honest and voluntary review.

    I really enjoyed this one! These were great characters and the writing was excellent. I liked how the author gave us bits and pieces of the history between Ian and Riva and how it's affecting their relationship present day. There isn't as much suspense and action in this one as there was in some of the prior books but it has enough to keep the story interesting. Definitely a book I'm recommending to everyone.

    A second chance romance that seems doomed even the second time around. Ian arrested Reva when she was 18. He made a deal with her to become an informant and there would be no record of her arrest. Disheartened by her drug dealing dad's refusal to help, she takes the deal. Ian an Reva had instant attraction but for obvious reason, nothing could happen. 7 years later and they meet again. Reva's all grown up now, staying clean and helping local kids learn to farm-to-table. Still very much off limits, Ian and Reva team up again after one of her "kids" gets arrested. She makes a new deal to get her father if they let Isiah go. Working together again brings back not only their attraction but also Reva's resentment for the way he used her for his job. Ian knows he couldn't give in to his attraction then or now but will he really be able to say no to the adult Reva he has come to respect? This is one of those books that I feel like I should have loved, but I never really fell into the story. I don't have any obvious complaints about it and I felt it was well written. I just didn't get all that excited about it. It's a safe read. Minimal violence, no sexual abuse and no other women/men drama. ARC provided by NetGalley.
