Alicia Dalton has moved from Washington to Riley County for a fresh start, including new job and new home. Moving into a secluded cottage, her only neighbour is sexy Riley County Prison Officer Liam Alexander.The attraction is mutual, but what neither of them initially realise, is that they both have intimate knowledge of the other due to the lack of sufficient window dressings in their respective homes!You get the feeling pretty early on that this book is definitely the start of a series, not a bad thing as long as the main characters still get their story told. Ranae is extremely accomplished when it comes to putting together and then delivering a series where each book offers us a different characters story. Officer Next Door is no exception, however a step away from what I am used to from Ranae in the fact that Alicia & Liam get a little ghostly help from time to time as their story progresses, and the escaped convict’s drama unfoldsLiam is a little shy initially, but Wowza the man soon comes out of his shell once he realises their attraction is mutual. A little dominant, a lot sweet and not afraid to use the tools he has at his disposal to spice things up a little in the bedroom!”I’ll make a deal with you... stay with me again tonight and I’ll let you try on my cuffs.”Feeling her tremble against him, hearing her breathe his name – was like living every fantasy he’d entertained and then some.I am never disappointed with the sexy-times in a Ranae Rose book; she always manages to keep the interactions between her couples fresh, imaginative and extremely hot. Liam and Alicia definitely push each other’s buttons in that department and it was great reading of their experimentation together and how it strengthened their connection.He held her like he’d never let go, and kissed her like he’d been waiting for this moment for an eternity.A great start to a series, looking forward to see how the rest of the officers stories come together, hopefully Ranae won’t keep us waiting too long for Sasha and Henry’s book.ARC generously provided by the author in exchange for the above honest review.
