A promising start to a new series featuring sexy cops (male and female, yay) who work together on an elite undercover detective squad in Atlanta.

After Sawyer's partner is brutally murdered by a drug gang, he is dreading working with someone new. To make matters even worse, his new partner is Brooke, the sexy as hell woman he recently had a the best sex of his life with during what he thought would be a one night stand.

Relationships between partners are strictly forbidden, and Brooke is determined as hell to not let her fling with Sawyer ruin her new job with HEAT.

The joke's on both of them when they are assigned an undercover mission at a local strip club in the hopes of busting the gang responsible for Sawyer's partner's death. And no, it's not Brooke who'll be donning the glittery thong...

Sawyer's sexy routines and Brooke's role as his obsessed groupie make keeping their "hands off" promise a bit hard to keep and stands to ruin the investigation.

I've been on a roll with edgy, sexy-cop thrillers lately (mostly Tessa Bailey), so this was fun to meet a new author. I adored the premise and can't wait to read more about the rest of the partners. I thought Sawyer was super hot, and the scene where he practices for his stripper audition with Brooke was whoa.

What kept me from LOVING this book was some pacing issues. I wanted more comedy, stripping fun times, and a bit less of the angsty "dead partner," evil crime lord, kidnapping, dead grandma business. Brooke also felt a little one-dimensional.

Thank you to Avon for the ARC!
