Blurb<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The night Luke Rosen met Scarlett Marks was the only time he\u2019s regretted becoming chief of police. One horrific night of blood and death, and now she\u2019s living under his roof\u2014all because he swore an oath to serve and protect.<\/p>\n

Scarlett is stubborn and infuriating. She has no respect for the order in his structured life, and she never does anything she\u2019s told. Worse, she doesn\u2019t seem to care that the information she has on a motorcycle gang means she might end up dead. But her unwavering strength, her courage and tenacity and beauty, makes it impossible for him to abandon her.<\/p>\n

If Luke is going to keep her safe, he\u2019ll have to make the hardest decision of his life. He can either honor his values as a cop, knowing Scarlett is unlikely to survive . . . or he can break all the rules and protect the woman who\u2019s invaded his home and his heart.<\/p>\n

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

5 stars!<\/b><\/p>\n

Wow, what a romance! Sweet, functional, sexy, with epic chemistry and so<\/i> much emotion! Luke and Scarlett stole my heart, and I just loved their story.<\/p>\n

This is the fourth book in the Tin Gypsy<\/i> series. Luke and Scarlett have appeared in previous books of the series, and there is a continuing suspense storying that continues throughout the series, but you could read this one as a standalone. Each of the books tells the story of a different couple, and there\u2019s enough background given so that you\u2019ll know what\u2019s going on. But this series is shaping up to be one of my faves from Perry, so don\u2019t miss out on the earlier, awesome reads!<\/p>\n

Luke Rosen is the Chief of Police in the small town of Clifton Forge. He\u2019s appeared in a couple of the previous books, and I honestly wasn\u2019t sure how he would cut it as a romantic hero, but damn, Devney Perry nailed it with this hero. He\u2019s a good<\/i> guy. A stand-up, sweet, kind guy, who is such a sweetheart. He\u2019s brave, and protective, and yes, he\u2019s noble, and OMG, he is ridiculously hot!<\/p>\n

We met Scarlett Marks in the last book. She is the twin sister of Presley (heroine of Stone Princess<\/a>), and she\u2019s in a world of trouble. After unintentionally falling in with a group of bikies she witnessed something she shouldn\u2019t have, and now they are hunting her down. In order to protect her, Luke brings her into his home to keep her hidden from the bad guys, and from the FBI who are also sniffing around.<\/p>\n

Luke and Scarlett don\u2019t get off to the best of beginnings. She is scared and frustrated, and she acts out in ways that infuriate him, but he recognises her vulnerability and he wants nothing but to help her. And slowly and unexpectedly, they settle into a quiet life together, a life where they don\u2019t irritate each other, and where they are comfortable just being<\/i>. That peace brings feels, and those feels bring a whole heap of chemistry that builds slowly as Luke and Scarlett begin to fall for each other, and oh, holy God, it\u2019s so freaking hot!<\/p>\n

\u201cScarlett, tell me to stop.\u201d
\n\u201cNo.\u201d
\n\u201cI\u2019m doing my best to stay in control here.\u201d I jerked my hand to my side, closed my eyes and gritted my teeth. \u201cScarlett\u2014\u201d
\nShe leaned in close. The whisper of her breath skated across my chest. \u201cLose control, Luke.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

OMG, I love these two, and I love their relationship so much! It grows from nothing to something truly special, and we get to watch every single step of the way, and I loved it! I loved seeing their feelings begin to change, I loved the anticipation of waiting for something to happen, and once it did happen, I was completely swept up in the emotion of it all, and I was right there with them through it all.<\/p>\n

\u201cHold on to me, beautiful.\u201d
\nI gripped his triceps. \u201cLike this?\u201d
\n\u201cNo.\u201d He shook his head and brushed a lock of hair off my forehead. Then he touched the corner of his eye. \u201cHold on to me.\u201d
\nLuke didn\u2019t need to worry. He had me transfixed.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But these two don\u2019t have an easy road. Scarlett is still in danger, and to get her out of it, Luke will be put to the test in ways he\u2019s never been before. He will be forced to question everything he believes in and holds dear, but just how far is he willing to go in order to save the woman he loves?<\/p>\n

I wasn\u2019t just a cop, but a man falling in love who wasn\u2019t ready to give Scarlett up. <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The characters from previous books all appear as Luke gears up for the fight of his life, and I loved seeing all of them again. I love the dynamic between the group, and I love watching it shift and change as their numbers grow. There is a sensational set-up for Leo\u2019s story, which is coming up next in [book:Fallen Jester|46184158], and there are epilogues (yes, more than one!) which finish off the story beautifully<\/p>\n

This book was all win for me. Sweet, sexy and blissfully romantic with no angst and an exciting and dramatic suspense storyline which is well written and had my heart pounding. This is pure Devney Perry gold, and I loved it.<\/p>\n

5 stars!<\/p>\n

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

\u201cIf you\u2019re not going to get out of the way, I\u2019ll just go around.\u201d I spun on my shoes, whirling the opposite direction, but when I went to take a step and carry my basket away, I suddenly found its weight missing from my arm. He\u2019d stolen it from me before I\u2019d had the chance to clutch it tight.<\/p>\n

Then the world was spinning. The floors, the ceiling, everything flipped topsy-turvy.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d fainted.<\/p>\n

No, that wasn\u2019t right.<\/p>\n

I was being carried.\u00a0Hauled<\/em>. That had been Luke\u2019s threat and damn it, I\u2019d underestimated him. The chief had made good on his word.<\/p>\n

His shoulder dug into my belly as he walked. I lifted my face, pushing the hair out of my eyes. My basket of food sat exactly where I\u2019d been standing. My chicken and rolls and cookies and chocolate milk. The items grew smaller with every one of Luke\u2019s strides.<\/p>\n

\u201cPut me down.\u201d<\/p>\n

He kept walking.<\/p>\n

\u201cPut me down!\u201d I shouted.<\/p>\n

Still, he kept walking.<\/p>\n

I lifted a hand and raised it above my head. My hair kept falling in front of my face, obscuring my vision, but that didn\u2019t stop me from using every ounce of strength I had left. I brought my fist down on Luke\u2019s lower back. Except my aim was shit so I didn\u2019t hit his back. No, my fist bounced off his firm, perfect ass.<\/p>\n

Luke didn\u2019t so much as break his stride. \u201cI promised Presley I\u2019d keep you safe.\u201d<\/p>\n

And without another word, without stopping, he carried me in a fireman\u2019s hold out of the grocery store and into the snow.
\nI was going back to the daisies, whether I wanted to or not.<\/p>\n

Hello, Scarlett. I\u2019m rock bottom.<\/em><\/p>\n
