Up Close and Personal: An Auckland Med Story

Written by Jay Hogan

Narrated by Gary Furlong

DETECTIVE MARK KNIGHT has a serious problem—one that comes in the form of Auckland Med’s brand-new forensic pathologist. Six feet of delicious blond-haired, scary smart, stern and disapproving hotness—DR EDWARD R NEWTON.

The man is miles out of Mark’s league; completely opposite in almost every way, and shockingly immune to Mark’s flirtations. Mark should just let him go. But the alluring doctor has taken residence in Mark’s brain and is messing with his life’s plan—in particular Mark’s determination to skirt attachments and all the self-absorbed drama that goes with them.

Mark has spent two years watching his friends drop like flies to the white picket virus, only to suddenly find himself hankering for a hammer and some white paint. Edward, however, doesn’t want a bar of Mark’s roguish charm.

But it’s not like Mark can avoid the sexy pathologist—death brings them together on a regular basis. So when a string of murders threatens both their lives and sends them into hiding, something has to give.

Reviews for Up Close and Personal

[NeosoulNoona · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This is book 3 in the Auckland Med series. I have greatly loved every book in the series because each one is so different and so good. They can easily be read as standalones and do not fall into a formulaic story pattern as many series do. In this installment we get a mystery that doesn't disappoint!

The "opposites attract" chemistry between Mark and Ed is off the charts and watching these two come together was so gratifying! I also loved Tink and Paris together.

I am SO looking forward to book 4!

I love this book. I also love the “cameo” appearance of Cam and Reuben…sigh!! This series is one of my go to when I need a pick me up. I definitely recommend all things Jay Hogan.
