I only started reading this series, and I'm so glad that I did! In "Believing Again," Danny Hartman is a strong Portland detective heroine who falls for Jake Abrams, a surgeon whose own experiences lead him to a passion for helping veterans with PTSD.When some of the homeless veterans his clinic serves are targeted and killed, Danny and Jake come together and when they do ... Wow! Super chemistry. No spoilers here, but any scene with a spa jet bath is going to be fun!What I loved, loved, loved about this book is that Peggy Bird has taken a plausible plot and turned it into a spicy, suspenseful romance. As Danny struggles to let go of some of her independence and let someone in,Jake's facing some demons of his own. There's one particular scene were you can't help but wonder if Jake can really accept Danny's work and what she does, but at the same time are touched by his reaction, realizing just how much he loves her, and ultimately what caused him to react the way he did.The "whodunit" element is surprising and satisfying, too.I highly recommend "Believing Again." It was my first book in the Second Chance series, and now I'm looking forward to reading the others.
