Review: Troy & Ruby
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 09 18, 2013
Troy is a Chicago cop recently relocated to New York after losing his partner in the line of duty. Ruby is a pool hustler so right off the bat Ruby & Troy are from opposing worlds. Troy sees her in the bar though & he is completely done, he is all hers. Ruby is trying to separate herself from her former life by attending college & working on a creative side business of making pool cues. The underworld of crime that Ruby was associated with in the past is starting to cause trouble & unfortunately Ruby & Troy are spotted together & some will consider her as turning to law enforcement, a rat, so she is in danger. Ruby has street smarts & wants to independently protect Troy at the same time. Good story, and these two have amazing hot chemistry! Troy is dominant, controlling, aggressive. He is very much into withholding pleasure, keeping Ruby right on the edge, a big dirty talker, incredibly sexy! The story involved pool so you can imagine all of the pool equipment used in their sexual escapades - so good! OK so the downfall of this book is that it needed about 5 more chapters to wrap things up. The last 20% of the book is actually the first few chapters of the first book Protecting What's His. Don't most people, like me, read a series in the correct order which means we've had already read the first book?? Very strange...
