REVIEW: Disturbing His Peace by Tessa Bailey

Disturbing His Peace by Tessa Bailey: Greer always follows the rules. He’s dedicated to doing his duty and serving the public, to include helping to train the recruits who will soon be a part of the NYPD. He comes off as cold, reserved, and a hard ass. He maintains a distance with everyone, even his own brother who is one of the recruits he’s teaching.

Danika is used to being needed in her family. She lives to help them in any way she can, even when she doesn’t have the time or energy to solve their problems. She is feisty, independent, smart, and focused on getting through the academy and becoming a police officer.

They are definitely not each other’s types, but they have an off the charts chemistry that has been simmering throughout the academy. Danika is always prepared, eager to learn, and show Greer that he doesn’t get to her. Greer doesn’t want to want her; she’s a complication that he doesn’t need and throws his concentration.

“Cancel it.”
His abrupt change in demeanor makes me sputter. “You don’t think I’m stubborn enough to walk out of here looking like a drowned raccoon?”
“Oh, I know you are.” Outside, the rain picks up intensity, moisture attacking the ancient window. “Time for you to find out how deep my stubborn runs, though, Danika. Isn’t that why you planned this little…date?”

Both are stubborn and used to being in control. They test and challenge each other. A relationship would be against the rules, but they are simply drawn to each other. It doesn’t help when he puts Danika on probation and reporting directly to him. They get to know each other much better and finally, finally cross that line. They are quite different, but they complement each other.

A shiver snakes up my back. “Are you asking me or telling me?”
His jaw ticks. “You want the truth?”
“Yes.”
“I’m telling you.”

Disturbing His Peace is highly entertaining and hot, hot, hot. Tessa Bailey doesn’t hold back as these two finally combust. Ms. Bailey delivered tension, anticipation, conflict, family, friendships, and lots of heat. Fans of Laurelin Paige, Elle Kennedy, and Lorelei James will enjoy Disturbing His Peace.

She’s got probable cause to make her move . . .

Danika Silva can’t stand Lt. Greer Burns. Her roommate’s older brother may be sexy as hell, but he’s also a cold, unfeeling robot. She just wants to graduate and forget about her scowling superior. But when a dangerous mistake lands Danika on probation—under Greer’s watch—she’s forced to interact with the big, hulking jerk. Call him daily to check in? Done. Ride shotgun in his cruiser every night? Done. Try not to climb into his giant, muscular lap and kiss him? Umm…

Greer doesn’t let anything—or anyone—distract him from the job. Except lately, all he can think about is Danika. He’s wanted the beautiful, cocky recruit since the moment he saw her. But she’s reckless and unpredictable, and Greer is painfully aware of what can happen when an officer doesn’t follow the rules. Probation seemed like a good idea, but now Danika’s scent is in his car and he’s replayed her voicemails twenty times. Christ, he’s a goner.

Danika’s melting Greer’s stone-cold exterior one ride-along at a time. Being together could have serious consequences… but breaking a few rules never hurt anybody, right?
