 Book 2 of 3: The Academy

Tessa Bailey Series: Academy

HOOPLA LINK  384 PAGES 2018 HarperCollins Publisher

Jack Garrett isn't a police officer yet, but there's already an emergency. His new firearms instructor-the one who just dropped every jaw in the academy gym-is the same sexy Irish stranger Jack locked lips with last night. The Olympic gold medalist and expert markswoman is now officially off-limits, but Jack's never cared much for rules . . .

Katie McCoy's been cooped up in a shooting range for too long. A wild love affair is just what she needs to let loose, though she never imagined it would be with her smokin' hot trainee. She cannot get involved with Jack-but a quick fling? Perfect. Falling hard for a charismatic recruit with an equal amount of sex appeal and secrets? Bloody stupid.

Jack's charmed the pants off plenty of women (literally), yet few have ever looked beyond his perfect surface. Until Katie. He'll do anything to keep her in his life . . . except tell her about his past. But a tiny lie of omission never hurt anyone, right?

----My 5 Star Review TITLED:  He's the Big Baad Wolf !

I loved when Irish Katie likened Jack to The Big Bad Wolf and herself as the unwitting Little Red Riding Hood.  Jack can't understand why he's so drawn to her; she's so different than his usual and he cant get her off his mind. That scares Jack. Katie is scared of her attraction to Jack too !  I also loved that Jack often called her, Snaps because of all her picture taking. So tourist but he finds he begins to adore that. That and her rambling and obsession with American mob murder stories.  Jack's friend Columbian friend & roommate, Danika Silva, I quickly fell in love with.  Charlie Burns is his other friend good friend, fellow team mate & roommate care deeply for him and don't want to see him self-destruct.  

This story was different. Yes, it was emotional but also funny, cute and sweet. In book 3 of the Series- Disturbing His Peace: The Academy, we get to read Danika's story about her  Lt. Greer Burns which I think I will be reading too. In this book it was clear there was a strong attraction between the two of them and then he went & put both feet in his mouth and she was FURIOUS !

I read this story through my HOOPLA App and want to read it again!
