This is for charity. This is for fun. You are a professional. You can do it.

Those are the words that Calloway Alvarez chants to herself as she watches all the large men gather into the small room where she’ll be doing the interviews for her employer—Hero Magazine.

Honestly, she’s convinced herself that she can’t accomplish the task at hand.

That is until she hears his voice, and her head turns to see him standing there.

Louis Spurlock. Greek god. SWAT officer. Keeper of her secrets. Ultimate fantasy. Man who will break her heart.
***
Louis Spurlock has been playing nice.

He’s been biding his time, giving Calloway the space she thinks she needs.

But then he sees her taking photos of his friends in all states of undress, talking to them all as if they’re best friends, and that little thread of control he’d been managing to hold onto unravels.

Let’s change it up, she says. And the moment the words are out of her mouth, he’s stripping to his skivvies, and throwing out a challenge while he’s at it.

Calloway won’t know what hit her when he’s through playing.

But he does know one thing for sure. When it ends, she’ll be his.

Lani Lynn Vale wrote an entertaining story for sure. Louis and Calloway were high school sweethearts until he broke her heart. He was ready to train to serve his country but didn’t want to make her wait for him as she should have enjoyed her life without feeling trapped.

But dude, even with her best interests at heart, he made it worse.

By protecting her, he unleashed such hate from her that he didn’t know how to fix it, just trying to be patient, and failing in his plans to win the woman back.

Calloway has so much hate… I meant *cough* love for Louis, the one who dumped her and tried to get her attention every time, like a losing battle but just never let it go.

She was a spitfire who could hold a grudge like no other. Since Louis came back, he was always on her way, insinuating into her life, because that guy stopped being patient and waiting for her to realize that they were not over, far from it.

But the heart wants what it wants and her body didn’t get the memo. Reacting too much when he was close.

I could feel their beautiful complicity and their powerful connection.

I appreciated this second chance romance about two people who never fell out of love.

It was lighthearted, fun and steamy, with a hint of suspense.
