A fun, sexy, suspenseful new series from New York Times Bestselling Author Rebecca Zanetti!

Bullets and Kisses Can Burn

The last person Anna Albertini expects to see in an orange jumpsuit in District Court—a place she SO doesn’t belong as a new prosecuting attorney—is Aiden Devlin, the man who’d saved her life when they were kids. For years, she has dreamed about him. Now here he is—his eyes blue, his chest wide, and his hands in cuffs.

Sure, Aiden says he doesn’t want her help, and his ties to a deadly motorcycle club should give her warning. Yes, her new boss is a sexy Italian bad boy who might be using the case to climb to the top. Plus, the detective assigned to the case, with his green eyes and broad shoulders, wants her to stay out of his way.

With so much testosterone surrounding her all of a sudden, most women would find it hard to concentrate. This might be why the case leads Anna to yelp during a spa appointment, fall out of a tree, and chase a naked old man around the courtroom. It’s a good thing Anna learned a long time ago to be her own hero, no matter how fast the bullets fly or the kisses consume.

Review

Lots of fun and a wildly exciting and suspenseful ride!

4 stars

The start of a new series for Rebecca Zanetti, this book was a whole lot of fun! A romantic suspense that is heavy on the suspense with just a hint of romance, with fantastic characters, non-stop action and lots of laughs. I really enjoyed this one!

Anna Albertini is a newbie prosecuting attorney working in a suddenly unstable DA’s office. She’s finding her feet in her new job when she is thrust into court, unexpectedly confronting the subject of all of her teenage and grown-up fantasies, Aiden Devlin. Aiden saved her from a predator when she was just a child, and she’s spent all the years in between dreaming about her hero. But now her hero is a Defender in a MC, and a prisoner facing serious charges. Curious by nature, Anna wants to help Aiden, but he wants her as far away from him and danger as possible.

Aiden is such an intriguing character. Yeah, he’s a badass, and clearly he’s not a completely good guy, but there’s so much more to him than we know. He has this irresistible cocky confidence and a sexy, flirtatious nature, with hints of a big, protective heart underneath it all. He’s kinda irresistible actually, and I loved him.

“People are ending up dead, and I don’t want anything to happen to you.” For the first time, I caught a glimpse of the angry and vulnerable boy he’d been at sixteen. “You’re the only good thing I’ve ever done in my life. You have to stay safe.”

Adding to the complexity of Anna’s life, her new boss, Nick Basanelli is sexy-as-sin with political aspirations and has dragged her into the investigation against Aiden… which ties in to a string of other cases involving drug dealing, kidnapping, murder, and all sorts of other scary things. And then there’s Detective Grant Pierce – quietly sexy, serious and devoted to his job, he is all up in Anna’s investigation and another of her self-appointed protectors.

All of these men, all of these cases, all of this intrigue all overlaps to bring a rollercoaster of a read that twists and turns and becomes more and more complex by the moment – with Anna right in the middle of it all. And in between drive by shootings, pot smoking grandmas, scaling (and falling out of) trees, naked courtroom shenanigans, an overexcited dog and an unexpected Brazilian, Anna’s just trying to survive while she figures out how it all ties together. Oh, and let’s not forget that she’s got a crazed stalker on her trail. It’s a wonder she can maintain her sanity!

Anna is a great character. She’s brave and tenacious with a great sense of humour and even amidst the chaos of her life, she’s very relatable. She’s a wonderful heroine, and with the book written completely in her POV, she tells her story with intrigue, humour and heart.

With all of those strong alpha males around, of course there is some romance. I won’t go into details, because it’s so much fun just watching it all play out. But if you’re a Zanetti fan, don’t go into this expecting the same level of romance that you’re used to. It’s very much a secondary storyline, and while there are steamy kisses and sexy time is had, we don’t see any detail or swoony declarations just yet.

The book ends well, but the story is far from over. This series will continue on with Anna as our heroine, and though the main suspense storyline is pretty much resolved in this book, there are other plotlines that still need to play out – the romance included – and I can’t wait!

I loved this one!

4 stars.

Excerpt

“I see,” the judge said, turning to the small stack of case files in front of her, clearly disappointed at the lack of gossip. “Let’s get to business, then. Georgiana Lambertini,” she called out in a clear voice.

I turned as Georgiana and Thelma shuffled up to my table. Georgiana had donned a pirate’s black eye patch.

I shifted my attention to the judge. “This is Georgiana and also Thelma Mullen. They were charged together.”

The judge raised her eyebrows. “For breaking and entering?”

Georgiana’s hands clasped against her chest. “It was a mistake, judge,” she said solemnly, her visible brown eye earnest and cloudy. “We were just trying to be good neighbors. We’re getting close to heaven’s gates, you know.”

“But,” Thelma started, then, “Ouch!” She grimaced down at her foot.

Georgiana smiled angelically next to her. “Yeah, we were just watering our dear neighbor’s plants,” she continued, her face beseeching and sad.

Thelma hummed and fluttered mascara-caked eyelashes. “Well, all right then,” she said.

The judge nodded at Georgiana’s eye patch. “Were you injured?”

“Oh no.” Georgiana flipped the eye patch up, revealing a cataract riddled brown eye. “I thought it was a good look for the big house. You know, so the bad bitches don’t mess with us.”

The judge buried her head in the file, and I couldn’t move. The lady had just sworn in court. It was funny, but…I couldn’t move.
