This book takes thedubious honor of being the worst book I've read allyear.  Fooledby the rave reviews, I wasted  ninety-nine cents downloading this drivel to my kindle.Jade is supposedly a competent LA police officer.  Five years earlier Mac Stryker was his training officer.  Mac is morning the murders of hiswife and daughter and of course becomes a raving alcoholic.  While Jade confronts an violent man in a car, Mac is too drunk to assist.  Jade justifiably kills the man and Mac is booted from the force.  Five years later, their roles are reversed and she is Mac's training officer.  Inthe mean time,someone is sending her boxes of dead flowers, trashing her house and stalking her. Her supervising officer hates her and is hotforMac.  Mac meanwhile is hot for Jade.  turns out that Jade's sonis actually Mac's also, theresult of a one night stand that was the best ight of her life.  Unfortuantely,he has no recollection of it. The plot drags in Jade's alcoholic father and fiance and a cross dressing commander.  Of course, it all ends happily.This book is awful.  The plot is ridiculous the characters cardboard.  It veers from police procedural to very,very bad romance novel.  For instance, Jade's supervising officer is a proceduralnit picker except when it applies to her. She ignores Jade's complaints about being stalked and flagrantly sexually harasses Mac. Jade is supposedly so intelligent she falls into bed with someone too drunk to know what is going on.  Her apartment isburglarized and her child threatened but she doesn't call the police. The dialogue is trite, the pace glacial and the prose preachy and boring.  LA police officers should be offended. Every thing about this book is lethal.  Avoid at all costs.
