A fun, sexy, suspenseful new series from New York Times Bestselling Author Rebecca Zanetti!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Bullets and Kisses Can Burn<\/strong><\/p>\n

The last person Anna Albertini expects to see in an orange jumpsuit in District Court\u2014a place she SO doesn’t belong as a new prosecuting attorney\u2014is Aiden Devlin, the man who\u2019d saved her life when they were kids. For years, she has dreamed about him. Now here he is\u2014his eyes blue, his chest wide, and his hands in cuffs.<\/p>\n

Sure, Aiden says he doesn\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n

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\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

Review<\/b><\/h4>\n

Lots of fun and a wildly exciting and suspenseful ride!<\/b><\/p>\n

4 stars<\/strong><\/p>\n

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!<\/p>\n

Anna Albertini is a newbie prosecuting attorney working in a suddenly unstable DA\u2019s office. She\u2019s 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\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

Aiden is such an intriguing character. Yeah, he\u2019s a badass, and clearly he\u2019s not a completely good guy, but there\u2019s 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\u2019s kinda irresistible actually, and I loved him.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople are ending up dead, and I don\u2019t want anything to happen to you.\u201d For the first time, I caught a glimpse of the angry and vulnerable boy he\u2019d been at sixteen. \u201cYou\u2019re the only good thing I\u2019ve ever done in my life. You have to stay safe.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Adding to the complexity of Anna\u2019s life, her new boss, Nick Basanelli is sexy-as-sin with political aspirations and has dragged her into the investigation against Aiden\u2026 which ties in to a string of other cases involving drug dealing, kidnapping, murder, and all sorts of other scary things. And then there\u2019s Detective Grant Pierce \u2013 quietly sexy, serious and devoted to his job, he is all up in Anna\u2019s investigation and another of her self-appointed protectors.<\/p>\n

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 \u2013 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\u2019s just trying to survive while she figures out how it all ties together. Oh, and let\u2019s not forget that she\u2019s got a crazed stalker on her trail. It\u2019s a wonder she can maintain her sanity!<\/p>\n

Anna is a great character. She\u2019s brave and tenacious with a great sense of humour and even amidst the chaos of her life, she\u2019s very relatable. She\u2019s a wonderful heroine, and with the book written completely in her POV, she tells her story with intrigue, humour and heart.<\/p>\n

With all of those strong alpha males around, of course there is some romance. I won\u2019t go into details, because it\u2019s so much fun just watching it all play out. But if you\u2019re a Zanetti fan, don\u2019t go into this expecting the same level of romance that you\u2019re used to. It\u2019s very much a secondary storyline, and while there are steamy kisses and sexy time is had, we don\u2019t see any detail or swoony declarations just yet.<\/p>\n

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 \u2013 the romance included \u2013 and I can\u2019t wait!<\/p>\n

I loved this one!<\/p>\n

4 stars.<\/p>\n

Excerpt<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\u201cI see,\u201d the judge said, turning to the small stack of case files in front of her, clearly disappointed at the lack of gossip. \u201cLet\u2019s get to business, then. Georgiana Lambertini,\u201d she called out in a clear voice.<\/p>\n

I turned as Georgiana and Thelma shuffled up to my table. Georgiana had donned a pirate\u2019s black eye patch.<\/p>\n

I shifted my attention to the judge. \u201cThis is Georgiana and also Thelma Mullen. They were charged together.\u201d<\/p>\n

The judge raised her eyebrows. \u201cFor breaking and entering?\u201d<\/p>\n

Georgiana\u2019s hands clasped against her chest. \u201cIt was a mistake, judge,\u201d she said solemnly, her visible brown eye earnest and cloudy. \u201cWe were just trying to be good neighbors. We\u2019re getting close to heaven\u2019s gates, you know.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut,\u201d Thelma started, then, \u201cOuch!\u201d She grimaced down at her foot.<\/p>\n

Georgiana smiled angelically next to her. \u201cYeah, we were just watering our dear neighbor\u2019s plants,\u201d she continued, her face beseeching and sad.<\/p>\n

Thelma hummed and fluttered mascara-caked eyelashes. \u201cWell, all right then,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The judge nodded at Georgiana\u2019s eye patch. \u201cWere you injured?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOh no.\u201d Georgiana flipped the eye patch up, revealing a cataract riddled brown eye. \u201cI thought it was a good look for the big house. You know, so the bad bitches don\u2019t mess with us.\u201d<\/p>\n

The judge buried her head in the file, and I couldn\u2019t move. The lady had just sworn in court. It was funny, but\u2026I couldn\u2019t move.<\/p>\n
