dec 17/hoopla / Disturbing His Peace by Tessa Bailey

 

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 the police academy 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?
 
My 5 STAR REVIEW TITLED:  Who is control now?
I totally loved this story ! Danika is one strong woman. She was adorable when it came to protecting and helping others. Especially family and friends ! She never asks for help because she has "responsibilities even when they overwhelm her. She just keeps going ! Which really makes Greer angry when she takes dangerous risks.  Some she just wasn't ready for.  Most of the recruits are terrified of Greer and at times so is she although she refuses to back down. Greer wants her so bad and they go hot and cold when they go toe to toe. Greer doesn't know how to show love or affection. He'd never had a good example from his father, a career officer. His father was all about the job.  His brother is one of the recruits as well but he's easy to like and show affection. They aren't close although his brother wants to be. Greer was such a great, interesting character. Danika has two other roommates who are protective of her, without trying to be over the top about it.  I liked having them in this story because I read the other book they were in and just had to read this book.
It was emotional, and insightful and I enjoyed every minute of it and how it all ended. 
I'm glad that I had a chance to read it through my Hoopla Library app and highly recommend it !
