Series:
New York Harbor Patrol (Book 3)
They shared one unforgettable night
And now they're partners in more ways than one
NYPD diver Gavin Hayes can't stop thinking about the
woman he rang in the New Year with. Assistant District Attorney Sera Forte
needs to find the man she spent the night with and break the news of her
unexpected pregnancy. When they learn they've been paired up for a new criminal
task force, they realize they need to solve more than the mystery they've been
given. The burning attraction that brought them together still smolders. But
the case Gavin and Sera are working is a dangerous one. Can he protect the
woman he loves and their baby?
Good mix of romance and suspense. Gavin and Sera spent an
unforgettable but anonymous New Year's Eve, exchanging only first names and small
details about who they were. Neither has been able to forget the other. Sera is
pregnant and has no idea how to find him to tell him.
As the story opens, Sera, an assistant district attorney,
is invited to participate in a special task force with the police department, Coast
Guard, and several federal agencies. It's a good career move and an intriguing
opportunity. The last thing she expected was to encounter Gavin, the father of
her baby. Gavin, a diver with the NYPD's Harbor Unit, was equally surprised to
see Sera. Their first meeting was awkward, with Gavin being a bit of a jerk and
Sera unsure how to deal with him.
I enjoyed the development of the relationship between
Gavin and Sera. Though it got off to a slightly rough start, they didn't take
long to get to know each other. I liked that Sera trusted her instincts and
realized Gavin's attitude wasn't like him. I liked their connection and how
Gavin's interest in her and her work made Sera feel good. I liked how easily
they talked together and how sensitive they were to each other's moods. Sera's confession of her pregnancy shocked
Gavin, but he quickly embraced the idea. The obstacle they face is that each is
freaked out about the intensity of their emotions and hesitant to admit them. I
enjoyed seeing how their time together brought them closer and helped them
overcome their hesitation.
The suspense of the story kept me hooked from start to
finish. I was intrigued by the diving aspect of the case and the discovery of
the weapons cache. Gavin and Sera's teamwork was terrific, and I loved the
involvement of the other Harbor team members. The escalating danger caused by
the person behind the guns had everyone on edge, and it intensified when the
team came under attack. I could feel their frustration as lead after lead turned
into dead ends. A twist at the end brings insight and danger to Sera, with a
final confrontation that had me on the edge of my seat.
This is the first of this series I have read, but I will
definitely read the others.
