Publisher's summary

Tall, dark and eligible? That’s all that matters to the women of Jacobsville when it comes to handsome and aloof FBI agent Jon Blackhawk. But if it were up to him, he would never settle down. Luckily, Jon has the best gatekeeper: his efficient and reliable assistant, Joceline Perry. Without her help, he’d be at the mercy of husband hunters — but the more he comes to rely on her, the more he notices how invaluable she really is....

While Joceline can’t deny that her boss is attractive, as a single mother with responsibilities she’s determined to be professional. But when Jon is accosted by a criminal seeking revenge, she comes to his aid — fueling the spark that is growing between them. As the attempts on Jon’s life increase, Joceline stands by his side. But when the smoke clears, will the man who avoided love realize that all he ever needed was right there all along?

Merciles

When Phil talked in the woman voice, it was hard on the ears. The woman in this story sounded fake and very uninterrested in the story.

Interesting romantic plot with big mix of suspense

This was such an interesting twist on a meet-cute and the romantic plot of the story. Delightfully unexpected, but can't be mentioned without spoilers. Return of beloved, entertaining characters. The secondary crime plot was complex and brilliant, but almost too many names and factoids to keep track of, yet it doesn't detract from the suspense of seeing how the story ends. Palmer builds on so many other characters from her LTT series that reading previous installments directly prior would remedy some of that confusion. Entertaining, sweet, and unexpected. I know I love a book when I reread it or listen to the audiobook a second or third time right after the first and did so with this one.

Very enjoyable

This book reminded me of how well written this series was. Excellent narrator, with characters you want to read more about.

Merciless review

All the action and love is pure Palmer. I'm a diehard fan. Hard to find any better. I just wish they would put Lawless on Audible. Thanks Audible for all of the Diana Palmer.

Another wonderful story by Diana Palmer!

Loved this story! Another great story that make you really care about the new people we meet and enjoy re-visiting those we've come to love through other books. Who wouldnt want to be involved and live in these communities? I know I would. Keep them coming Ms. Palmer I can't wait for the next installment.

Typical but good Diana Palmer

Typical but good. I like this because I can trust that a story by Palmer will not disappoint. I have wanted to hear the story of Jon Blackhawk for a while now. So glad I took the time to get this one. Jon is tall, dark, sexy and sweet. Sometimes life is stranger than fiction so I could really buy into the premise of this story. Jon and Joceline have one night of passion, but Jon does not remember. Joceline has been keeping a little secret for year from Jon, but finally the truth will come out and its love and happiness for this couple. I found it to be an enjoyable and touching.
