A smokin' hot biker, a Sheriff in the middle of a drug cartel invasion spurred me into reading this book and believe me I was not disappointed one bit.Timothy Santos is working undercover as a member of the Smokin' ACES (the Ammunition, Contraband, and Explosive Suppression team) biker gang looking for a drug cartel leader "El Brujo".  Only before we go into detail about his assignment lets go back 2 years when he was in the arms of the person he loved.  Santos really loved her but he was protecting her from a person that she loved more than him, her mother, Gloria.  He needed to get Rose away from her mother because she was following the wrong path.  Santos only wanted the best for her but they went their separated ways, but he never forgot.Rose Renwick is the Sheriff for a small town in Texas and her life was about to get turned upside down.  When she moved from San Antonio to her home town she was trying to find her mother.  When she arrived her grandfather had just stepped down from being the Sheriff in Rio County so she stepped in.  Rose could not get over the betrayal of Santos, how could he want for her to turn her back on her mother after what they went through.  Rose and Gloria had a secret a secret that know one knew about and the day that someone found out she would not be looked at the same, even more now that Rose was the Sheriff a person that should uphold the law.Santos has been keeping an eye on Rose watching trying to see if he could see the person he has been looking for.  Only he hasn't been able to find any clues on where her mother could be.  He knew that time was running out they had not heard from his CI, the person deep undercover in the drug cartel with "El Brujo", Pablo Ortega.  It seemed that he wanted to invade Rose's town and she had no idea what is about to happen.  When Rose is held up by gun point Santos comes to the rescue and Rose is not happy to see him.  Who could fault her?  Santos is trying to get Rose to understand that she is in danger but she will not listen to him.When Rose is set up and she is shot at she knows that maybe Santos is telling the truth.  Only that she still is hesitant but her grandfather reminds her that she needs to hold up the law and if her mother has her hands in what is going on she needs to do something about it, she is the Sheriff.  Every time she is near Santos all those feelings come tumbling down and when they find each other with their lips locked the desire is still there.  Only she needs to remember she betrayed him and she believes that he cheated on her and also he is looking for her mother.  So they strike a deal, they go find his CI and her mother but before Gloria gets arrested Rose will get the opportunity to speak with her.  So guess where they are going, Mexico here they come.  They both still have deep feelings for each other but will the hurt be too much to not move on and see if maybe starting again could be done.  Will Rose finally see that Santos would do anything for her even go against the law?  Will Santos finally see that he sees everything only as black and white only thinks about his goal the mission and nothing else?  Only when Rose finally learns the truth the pain she is going to feel at being lied at again will she be able to over come that and have Santos by her side?What can I say other than this book is awesome, suspenseful, and full of twists and turns that will have you reading this book from beginning to end.  The pace of the events as they unfold is perfect.  I love stories that surround situations that are happening all around us and the people that fight against it.  I do have to say that what detail it has hinting to the murders these cartels do are cold hearted and it leaves a person frighten to death that maybe something like that could happen to a loved one or even to themselves.  The characters are well written along with the detail of the terrain of Texas.  Now being born in Texas you get it grilled into your head that you steer clear of the black and white State Trooper cars because they are mean troopers.  The chemistry that Rose and Santos share is like thinking of a full electrical current that could burn up a room.  The love scenes are smoking hot but are also sensual and sweet.  I will say that Book 1 of ACES has left some questions unanswered but I'm hoping that Book 2 Follow the Cowboy featuring Kingston Landry coming November 2013 will answer those questions.  I can't waitIf you love suspense and mystery entangled with romance Texas Hold'em is for you.  Pick up this book today and start the journey of Santos and Rose's reencounter and the fight against a drug cartel.
