My Review:Sterling and Ben were both cops when they were dating, but then Sterling's brother-in-law who was also a cop was killed in the line of duty and Sterling panicked. After growing up watching her mother grieve for Sterling's father, also a cop, Sterling just can't risk her heart that way. She won't be in love with a cop just to watch him die and break her heart. So she left both Ben and the force.When this book takes place, it's been two years since those events. Sterling runs a successful PI business with her sister, but that business has led her to a murder mystery and into Ben's sphere again. She hasn't seen him in two years and is disturbed to find her draw to him just as strong as ever. Even though he isn't doing the dangerous undercover work any longer, he's still a cop and she's still not willing to take that risk.Ben still loves Sterling desperately and truly doesn't understand her issue. Life and love involve risk...for everyone, but that's why he is a cop. To make it safer  for other people. He thinks that her job is just as risky.Overall, I enjoyed this book. There were a couple of plot points that didn't work for me, but as a whole the book is written in an easy-to-read style. I was particularly intrigued with the story about Sterling's sister and her dead husband's ghost. I liked the romantic side of that, but my more practical side kept arguing the point that it's not a healthy way for her to live. It did add an interesting element to the story though and the overall theme about love.The question is: Is finding/having love worth the risk of losing it?It was an interesting book.I received a complimentary copy of this book in return for an honest review.
