I have enjoyed all three of the Line of Duty novels, but I think this was my favorite. Story (that's the lead females name) is delightful. She's funny with quick whit, and the daughter of a cop. Her boyfriend of three years breaks up with her two weeks before the wedding. On her way home from the breakup, Story receives a call informing her that her dad has had a heart attach and is in the hospital. She leaves California and flies to New York immediately. While getting a snack from the vending machine, she is hit on by the sexiest man she has seen. Turns out that man is Daniel, her dad's partner. Her dad instructs Daniel that he is to keep his hands off, but Daniel has never wanted anyone more than he wants Story. He just can't stay away. Even feeling guilty about going behind her dad's back, Daniel just can't stay away. Daniel quickly realizes he wants more and wants Story to give them a chance. She's a school teacher and doesn't have to be at school for a month, so he asks her to stay in New York and see where their feelings can go. She feels it's too fast, especially after coming off a bad engagement, but she is torn because of her strong feelings for Daniel. Then the ex shows back up and there's a crisis at the hospital where Daniel has to do the best job of his life at hostage negotiation. Great story. Loved Daniel and Story together. Just perfect together. Quick easy happy read.
