What do you get when you cross a cop and an ex-Army bad boy?Pure sizzle.Under the crisp uniform of RCMP officer Kendra Givens, a vulnerable yet sensual woman guards her carefully structured life. She doesn't need anything adding to a challenging job which exposes her to society's most base and troublesome elements.Jake Symonds, despite his honourable Army career, is known in town as a mischief-maker and all around bad boy. As far as Kendra is concerned, as a local bar owner, he is responsible for a good portion of her nightly strife. If his patrons drank less, surely there'd be less fights, disorderly conduct, and domestic disputes.When she answers a call about a break and enter at his pub, she's irritated and on edge. It has nothing to do with his tight, muscular body or his intense hazel eyes. She'd never consider him worthy of an attraction. So why is her pulse racing?In the Line of Duty is the kind of book you start and finish in one sitting. You have to. There's a lot packed into this short novel and I found myself thinking about the characters long after I inhaled the book. At times achingly sweet and others steamy and ablaze with passion, In the Line of Duty is the perfect book for a veranda, a swing and your favourite summer drink.Donna Alward's books are filled with real characters with compelling stories to tell. Always a page turner and always satisfying.
