Publisher's Summary

Nora Whitmore has been through the ringer both professionally and personally. Now, her life is more than she ever thought it could be, especially with Kelli McCabe in it. The walls have come down, and she is open to new people and experiences.

Kelli McCabe watched all the broken pieces of her life come together. The situation with her family settled down, and she's right where she wants to be back at work and in Nora's arms.

For both of them, this quiet time is just the devastating calm before the massive storm hits and brings with it the violence of a vengeful enemy and the reality of drug abuse. The chaos surrounding them exposes old wounds and individual vulnerabilities that seem to multiply when they are together. Is it too much for them to withstand? Or is what they have strong enough to overcome it all? 

Contains mature themes.

Disappointed

I really enjoyed this series and even though Abby Craden is one of the best narrators, it ruined the story for me. It wasn’t the same as before with Sarah Grant, I couldn’t get into it and barely made it through the book. Whatever happened with the bookings of the narrators was a shame.

Drama

Just too much drama and anger for me. I normally like flowed characters but it was just too much for me. I found Kelly to be way too annoying.
Abby Craden did a great job though. I don't think I'd have been able to finish it otherwise.

Good read

It was a bit dragged, sort of felt like the author was dragging the situation to make the look longer but because I was already attached to the main characters I still enjoyed it overall.

Another great one!

Soooo good. Definitely read Blurred Lines before this one. This was another great cop & doc story. Awesome narration as well.

Such a change in character

I could almost believe a different author wrote this one, as the characters are so different. Nora is now a trembling submissive, completely dominated by an unrecognizable Kelly. Did Kelly turn into an unintelligent, completely violent and abusive man rather than a strong, smart, experienced police detective who has met her match in looks strength and capability on the job?
Cannot give any recommendation other than the outstanding Abby Crayden performance. I disliked this book as much as I really liked the first book, Blurred Lines.

Loved the continued story line

Amazing narration compared to the first book. I am glad the Author changed to Abby Craden. I can't wait for book 3.

GREAT BOOK

This is a very good series. I lost sleep telling myself one more chapter. The narrator is very captivating. Can't wait for more from these two.

Need a book 1 refresh first...

Ok...I'll start with the easy stuff. Narration by Abby Craden was good as always. No surprise there. As for the story...I loved that it wasn't the typical lesfic - and instead a breakup and proceeding get-back-together. That difference was strangely refreshing. That said, it had been a while since I'd read book one, and I was very lost for the first few chapters. Didn't really understand why the breakup happened either. I'd have appreciated a little background info, even if it would have been a little repetitive for someone reading the series without pause...

Not My Cup of Tea

Liked the first book in the series. This one was fine until it got in to the rough sex that was damn close to rape Wyatt which point I stopped reading and returned it.

loved it

love the 2nd book as much as the 1st. I will be getting the 3rd book tomorrow.

Loved this, Abby Craden is BRILLIANT

I couldn't disagree more with the reviewer who preferred the reader of the first I instalment of this series. IMO The reader of the first book took some getting used to, and the book is a long way down my 'listen again' list for that reason.
HOWEVER, Abby Craden is brilliant here. I think this is one of her best performances, and I've heard a few... Yes, she reads loads of lesfic, has made a specialism of it, but that is because she's so good, so invested and puts so much emotional energy into her performances.

Because the performance is so good, it made me love the story and characters more, made me totally invested from start to finish. I cried, I laughed, I was moved for long periods. And it takes something special to make me actually cry whilst listening.

Story wise, this is the second story in this series, so it would make little sense without having read the first one... I wish I'd actually read the first one myself, rather than heard the audio book. But, this one follows on from the first, with the same characters. Their new relationship is tested and personal growth occurs... Hopefully that's not too spoilery ... Their relationship is written so beautifully and with an amazing intensity... Enhanced hugely by Abby's performance .... She really is a gift to lesfic audio books. There are some other great readers out there, but whilst there are still some shockers, I'm not going to complain about Abby getting all the lesfic gigs.
Good for her, and well done KD for writing such an emotionally honest and raw story.
Ten stars!
Ps, if you loved the reader of the first book... then, you might not like this one, normally I hate a change of reader mid series, but in this case, I think its a vast improvement.

One of the great stories beautifully crafted enhanced by Abby Craden’s performance.

Kelli and Nora take it to the next level. What I enjoy about these books, these characters is that we know they’re both struggling with how to make a new relationship work while family does family stuff. (Yes I meant that to be cryptic buy the books cause I’m not going to give away anything) you will never be disappointed in a KD Williamson story. Can’t wait fir the next Cops and Docs to be on audio.
