About this ebook
Workaholic Detective Aiden Carlisle isn’t looking for love—and certainly not at the law enforcement seminar she reluctantly agreed to attend. But the first lecturer is not at all what she expected.
Psychologist Dawn Kinsley has just found her place in life. After a failed relationship with a police officer, she has sworn never to get involved with another cop again, but she feels a connection to Aiden from the very first moment.
Can Aiden keep from crossing the line when a brutal crime threatens to keep them apart before they've even gotten together?
(2nd revised edition)

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The plot is hard at times, very emotionally raw in regards to rape and how it affects the victim on every level and every single person around them. And yet, so superbly written, authentic, genuine, beautiful. One of the best books I’ve ever read, and certainly the best “romance” books for sure. This was my first read from the author, and I’m hooked. Simply can’t say enough good things.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The entire time I was reading this novel I could not help but to compare Aiden to Olivia Benson from Law & Order: SVU.
I enjoyed it but I felt there was details missing that I usually find in a Jae novel.
I wished Aiden and Kade got the chance to date... - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Wasn’t expecting that. Really good story; hard to read at times due to the nature of the topic, but I felt how the different characters reacted and dealt with the rape was rather realistic. It was a good thriller as well as a sweet love story.
It was never ‘over the top’ like some thrillers and the story unfolded nicely. I liked Aidan especially, because she wasn’t portrayed as female (gay) police officers often are...macho. I dislike that.
Can really recommend this book.1 person found this helpful

This is a really bold story that I don't encounter much in lesfic. Sure, there are plenty of characters in the genre that suffer from prior sexual assault or abuse but that occurs long before we start our stories and we have some distance from the aftermath.
That's where this book is different. Jae masterfully weaves a story of before, at the moment of, and the aftermath of a rape and then deftly unravels how the two leads process that trauma as they begin a relationship with each other.
The narrative grabs you from the beginning and, despite the horrific topic, the story itself is not. The subject matter is dark but there's lightness, love and hope, as well. I found the interactions between the characters, how Dawn was affected and how all of those around her were impacted to be really true to life.
The entire story and every character, whether big or small, was well done.
