Matt is a private investigator who sees someone jump over his fence to enter his yard. He finally finds out that she is the daughter of his former best friend when they had been on the police force together. But her dad was dirty and their friendship ended.
This time, however, Lucy’s dad says he is being set up and he wants Matt to help clear him. Matt would prefer to stay out of it, but when it looks like Lucy might be in trouble over this, he gets involved. Lucy is attracted to the detective and has a hard time behaving herself around him. It seems Matt has the same problem! Can they clear her father’s name before he is convicted of a crime he didn’t commit? Can they deal with the fallout when her father finds out the two of them are interested in each other?
I loved this story. The author is so talented with showing the reader how her characters feel, and it is instantly felt by the reader who cares about them. Will Matt and Lucy find their HEA?
Short but complex

Very good romance by Flora Ferrari. Her stories are sometimes too simple, but this one is excellent, very hot, mixing corrupt police officers, a drug lord, a former policeman and the daughter of his former best friend in the police.
I liked the rather original debut of Lucy, the daughter of a police officer suspected of being a rotten cop, who comes to ask help to her father’s former friend, now a private investigator, Matt. Their attraction is immediate, but the sequel is more chaotic due to Matt’s investigation to save Lucy’s father and to protect her.

Ms. Ferrari knows how to write plot-driven steamy short reads! Matt is a detective and Lucy is the daughter of his former best friend who is now in trouble with the wrong people due to some shady dealings he had gotten into. There is drama, danger, action, and a good amount of steam to be found in this OM/YW romance that has a HEA!!

Another great older man/younger woman romance by Flora Ferrari who once again brings strong characters in Lucy and Matt. She gives them an instant attraction and hot chemistry and takes them on an intriguing adventure filled with danger and suspense as they try to save her father , his old partner and friend. It’s well written with vividly painted scenes,moves quickly and smoothly and is an entertaining read. Loved the epilogues!
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. All opinions in this review are my own and freely given.
There’s a lot of steamy scenes, humor and of course love. The story focuses more on Matt and Lucy’s developing love and of course the opposition of a well meaning father who thinks his daughter was being used as payment.
And of course, I am loving the epilogues.

Matt is drawn to the woman who he caught jumping over his fence. Too bad she happens to be his ex best friend who was his partner when he was on the police force. Lucy can’t be too careful when it comes to her father who is being set up so he says and the only person that can save him is his former partner Matt. The problem is Lucy is drawn to the savvy detective and her libido goes into overdrive around him which is also a problem for Matt. Will these two be able to put their feelings aside to help her father before he is convicted of the crime he is accused of?

Anticipation is the prelude to the main event and oh boy was he worth every single moment.

Okay I’ll admit that my dad’s paranoia has probably rubbed off on me that’s why I’m knocking on the backdoor.
Right now my dad is in hot water waiting to make bail, he swore to me he was innocent that he was being. I’m terrified
I’ll lose my dad.
Matt shook his head as he watched a small shadow moving in his backyard
he admired her spirit but he refused to answer her until she answered his questions they were at a stalemate.
So things aren’t going well that’s pretty obvious first he handcuff me to a fence then dumb me finally say the magic words and when he goes to let me free
I kissed him not my best move but so worth it.
Finally she tells me her name.
Lucy is my ex best friends’s daughter.
Her dad was dirty and I knew it but kept quiet about the kickbacks. He’d give me a sad story and I just couldn’t but in the end I’m the one who walked away from everything.
And yes my dad told me everything especially why the two of you are no longer friends.
My dad was arrested but he swears he’s being rail road so he sent me to find you because he needs help and your probably the only person left who can.
But I’m not going to get sucked into his mess so my answers no.
Even when Lucy tries to give me what facts she knows which is really nothing other then a name I recognized immediately.
I’m still not getting involved but when Lucy said she’d taken a buss and then walked to my house I couldn’t in good conscious expected her to walk home.
I swear the light wasn’t on when I left so Matt told her to stay put he’d be back.
Yeah he’d said before he wasn’t getting involved but the guy who he’d confronted earlier could have hurt Lucy.
I couldn’t sleep my mind wouldn’t stop I’m sure what I’m about to do is probably not the smartest thing I’ve ever done but I really don’t care.
Oh wow I shouldn’t have been surprised when she ended up next to me in my bed however I nearly lost my mind.
His lawyer hadn’t made any promises about getting him out on bail.
She was beautiful and clearly I can’t seem to stay away from her and at this point I really don’t want to she’s the sweetest thing ever.
Anticipation is the prelude to the main event and oh boy was he worth every single moment.
The spider said to the fly welcome to my parlor yep that exactly how he felt sitting here talking to this man.
Matt held up his handcuffs, you see these there for very naughty girls so Lucy are you my girl?
Yes!
All of a sudden my dad’s there spouting non sense Matt’s not using me to get back at him.
Of all the stupid things to come out his mouth that was pretty close to the top.
Lucy’s an adult and can make up her own mind as to where she wants to be.
Do I want her to stay? Yes.. But only if that’s what she wants.
By this point the plot has hit its predictable moment standing there Matt can only think of one thing.
Save Lucy.
