I absolutely loved this book, it’s a complete page turner and the two authors (Karen Raines & Brittany Crowley) that co-wrote this together blend their work effortlessly doing an amazing job.
This book has lovable characters that all have a great sense of humour even when their asses are put on the firing line against the bad guys. There’s passion, lust, violence, hatred, betrayal, jealousy, revenge, love, LOL moments and let’s not forget the hot sex.
Bri & Colby are the perfect match.
Brianna is sassy, sexy and a PI that can definitely take care of herself. Colby is one of her best friend’s who became a friend with benefit one night. Can being thrown together to take-down the bad guys get her a repeat performance of that hot sex? or will she end up with a broken heart?
Colby is hot as sin, hung like a horse and also a BAMF that can hold his own. Bri is the one-nighter he can never forget and to his surprise he doesn’t want to. But he messed up that night, will she ever forgive him and let him have his wicked way with her again? Will hearts be involved and broken?
Will they have an HEA fighting the A-Holes of the world together?
I can’t wait to get my hands on book 2
Colby is one of those men who always has to make sure his bits are still there and in perfect order, “crooked? What? You must have been looking from a weird angle.” He pulls out the waist band of his gym shorts and looks down at his favorite appendage. “Look, it’s not bent funny. Have a gander.” Colby just has the worst luck at times, and most of them happen in public places, “…I shoot her a scowl. “That would be the zipper on my stupid *** pants splitting open because someone is giving me a chubby.” I loved this book, and I’m just eager for more.
I love this book. The back and forth between all the characters was great. I laughed out loud a couple of times. I loved the action and the mystery of what was going to happen next keeps you reading till you get to the end. I can’t wait to read the next in the series. Great read I would recommend it to any of my reader friends
Ok I flipping loved Stakeout , Brittany Crowley has fast became one of my favorite authors and I’m looking forward to discovering Karen Raines because she is new to me and these ladies were such a wonderful team that I can’t wait to see whats to come for them . This was going to be a must read because of the author alone but then I read the blurb and I fast became intrigued put in this HOT cover and you get a recipe for a amazing story . Briella and Colby share off the charts chemistry with them being best friends since childhood and not wanting to risk there friendship by the sexual pool towered them they resist until one night of HOT sex that soon goes down hill after the finish line (wink) . The banter that Briella and Colby just had me silly grinning while also fanning myself because I felt like it was their own special brand of foreplay . Briella is awesome loved everything about her she doesn’t back down from a fight and she knows how to get under the heroes skin in some pretty FUN ways . I didn’t know if I was going to like Colby baste on the blurb alone but when we fins his reasoning of something I kinda understood while also wanting to be like ” DUDE WHY ” ! , he really was a great hero funny protective , and such a naughty talking . I hope this isn’t the last we here from the characters really want to see what’s to come they defiantly have stories to tell .

I was totally unfamiliar with these authors, but the the book blurb reeled me in. Best friends who crossed the line for one night of passion, with next-day fallout. Hmmm, sounded very interesting to me, so I gave it a try.
And I was glad I did! Brienna Fairbanks and Colby Maitland were childhood best friends that became adulthood best friends until “that night.” Each went into the private investigations, owning their own firms with partners in Boston. I have to say, this book had tons of “pros” for me! Some seriously witty dialogue, characters who were snarky but I liked and a mystery that kept me intrigued. I liked the writing a lot – I am not sure how they do it writing together, but Ms. Rainey and Ms. Crowley make it work.
Now, I do not want to label the following as a “con,” but Brienna and Colby are a pair of incredibly horny millennials! I am not sure a page went by that didn’t reference one of their *ahem* intimate body part in very graphic terms. Now, the racing libidos and always-ready-for-action body bits didn’t really bother me – it seemed to be just part of the makeup of these two and the part of the authors’ story dynamic. It’s more just a heads-up for new readers of these authors that things are very “vocally” steamy! As a side effect, though, the heavy on “the sex talk” made the book light on “the romance” for me.
Ok, that said, this was a fun, interesting change-of-pace read for me that was very, very well-written. It had humor, it had emotion, it had suspense and to say it was smexy is an understatement! I didn’t regret one-clicking on this book and would consider checking out the next book in this series.
This is my first book I’ve read from these authors so I had no idea at all what I was in for.
Former best friends Briella and Coby used to have a close relationship until one night ruined everything between them. Briella is hurting and keeping her distance but when she gets a job that could put her in danger, her friend and partner sets it up for Coby to go and keep an eye on her.
The sexual chemistry between Coby and Bri is apparent from the start. Thinking they’re on the same page when it comes to what’s happening between them, Coby can’t keep his distance but Bri hasn’t been completely honest with him about what she wants. Forced to spend a month together, she’s determined not to let what’s going on between them interfere with her assignment. The very assignment that is even bigger and more dangerous than she thought.
This is a great book. Packed with action and suspense along with brilliant main and supporting characters this book was a really enjoyable read.
MAN team up these two authors and what do you get? A read that has you laughing hysterically and fanning yourself frantically from the steamy yumminess that is totally and completely this couple. When friends turn to lovers then run from the chemistry it just turns out all bad. But the battle to win her heart and keep her safe may be more than he can handle on his own. Feisty, spitfire, hard as nails, hard headed, independent and sexy as all get out women, and the strong and crazy men who love them.
I love the supporting characters they just enhanced this story and open the world of possibilities for these two authors and us lucky readers. I can’t wait to see what they come up with next. This read is full of action, suspense and intrigue, passion, lies, and a whole gaggle of crap that will have you laughing, deep sighing, holding your breath and cheering for the good guy.
