I've looked at the cover of this book for some time now and it never accrued to me to read it. I love African American romance novels and I enjoy quality IR stories also. This was a good one, it flipped the script and gave us the thug white guy and a black female officer. I loved that Mark slowly weaves himself into Misha's heart. I don't think he realized himself until it was too late, that what started out as simple attraction towards her eventually grew to become love. His less than stellar past has him wondering when she'll realize he's not good enough for her but it also motivates him to be a man she can be proud to love.  She has issues with trusting and loving another man after her disastrous last relationship, so the thuggishly handsome ex con with the large number of ex's is not who she wants to let her guard down for. Well it happens for both of them and the journey is fun, sad, sweet and sexy to watch. I loved both Mark and Misha. He was hot and take charge in a hood-ish way and even though she was a cop, she was soft and delicate on the inside and needed to be loved and taken care of. I really enjoyed this book and I'm sorry I waited so long to read it.
