About this listen

She's gone rogue.

Seraphina Newsom isn't looking for vengeance...she wants justice. Three years ago, Sera's brother was ruthlessly gunned down by one of Brooklyn's most dangerous mob kingpins. The investigation has stalled out, deemed "too dangerous" by the police commissioner. So to track down the evidence she needs to take down her brother's killer, Sera turns in her hospital scrubs, joins the NYPD, and goes undercover. Unsanctioned. Alone.

He'll live to keep her safe.

With his father behind bars, Bowen Driscol has reluctantly taken over his family's sprawling South Brooklyn crime operation. New York's finest have other plans. By threatening the safety of his sister, they "convince" Bowen to extricate a rogue cop who's in over her head. But when he meets Sera and feels that deep, damning shiver of desire course through him, Bowen knows there's only one way to keep her safe without blowing either of their covers...by claiming her as his own.

Each book in the Crossing the Lines series is a standalone, full-length story that can be enjoyed out of order.

good story. but got lost

first time listen to this author and I opted in because of the reviews.
the plotline was great and I liked the H and h even though the h wasn't as bad ass as I thought she could have been. there was a few gaps in the story, she seemed to be able to do what she had to fairly easily.
it's difficult to pinpoint what I didn't like about this book.
I think it's because the good storyline got lost inbetween the descriptive sex and sexual attraction.
it was 10% plot then I drowned in 20% sex and sexual innuendo only to be pulled up to 10% plot again. and on it goes.
the best part of this was the last 40 minutes when the back dealings and betrayal finally unfurled. even though it still dragged. I wondered how Tessa was going to finish this and what I thought was the only way, turned out to be right.
I'd go for book 2 but the minuscule descriptive sexual attraction just soaked up the angst and suspense of a good story...don't think I can go again.
Jill Redfield is a one click go to for me and I absolutely loved her narration. her Brooklyn accent was brilliant and she had some brilliant dialogue to work with. but even her tone and inflections couldn't strong the suspense story together.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
