“
This romance story was so entertaining, can't-put-down,
very
humorous.

“
Even though this is the second in the series, each one can be
read as a stand alone
book.

“You shot me!”
“You told me to.”
“Dumb shit!” Aurora pushed her new partner from hovering over her so she
could sit up. “I didn't mean it. I just wanted you to scare Rhondo.” She felt
blood poring from the wound on her arm and purposely kept her head turned away.
“Shooting you did scare him. He let you go, didn't he?”
Aurora frowned at him. Why did his voice have to sound so damn
reasonable?
“What-ever!” She hoped her scorn would get to him.
“Hey! I saw his eyes, you didn’t.
He had every intention of using that knife. You know, the sharp one he
had pressed against your throat. If I’d shot him instead of you…” He shrugged.
Aurora shuddered, fighting off nausea. She didn’t want to listen to
reason. Being angry made the situation a whole lot easier to deal with.
Sarcasm, the best weapon she had in a macho man's environment, replaced
whining.
She glared at him and saw his shapely eyebrows rise. The light of the
bulb hanging from the ceiling of the cruddy apartment haloed his head making
the bare skin shine.
“Just my frigging
luck to end up with a partner who thinks and looks like Bruce Willis."
Kai chuckled. Her glower put a quick end to his merriment. He tried
changing the subject with sweet talk. "I've been told I have a nicely
shaped head for being bald."
"Sure and it goes swell with your baby-blue eyes." She sneered
on purpose. No way would she admit he did look good.
His response was a grunt of displeasure. “Are you always this crabby?”
Disbelief shone in her amazed expression. “Not at all…” She said,
disdain evident. “…only when I’ve been shot.”
He ignored her to call in the emergency and then tried to push up the
bloody sleeve of her shirt for access to the injury.
Being that it was too tight, he gave up and moved to undo the
buttons on the top of her white blouse.
What the hell!
"Get away from me.” She slapped at his hands and wrenched away.
