[...]My rating: 3 of 5 ⭐️A sexy light read with a fairly predictable and familiar "little sister" and "friends turn lovers" trope.Chrissy who had always been tagging after big brother Slade and his best friend Jack when growing up, found solace in her job as a physician working all over the world, when the relationship with her brother soured after her father's accidental death.Returning home after a phonecall from said brother to bail him out of jail, she runs into none other than Jack, who has grown into the hot hometown cop. From him Chrissy finds out her brother is involved in underground fighting, something she is not happy about.A strong attraction flares up between Jack and Chrissy, but ongoing trust issues, especially around violence, and misunderstandings decades old are wreaking havoc on the budding relationship.Charming characters and definitely a cute pairing with chemistry. The story a bit unremarkable and pat, but entertaining nonetheless. I would have enjoyed a little more depth from the characters, a better grasp on them. There was explanation of their emotional motivations, but it felt very clinical, a stating of facts rather than an emotional experience, so the connection between what happened and how it shaped their actions today still didn't feel natural. I guess it lacked a bit of emotional passion... Or maybe it was just my perception. Judge for yourself, it is still worth a read on a rainy afternoon.
