General Fiction (Adult), Romance
Description
How do you recover when life kick-boxes your soul?
Becca Gable is fighting to stay on her feet after a series of crushing losses. She’s always been the good girl until the events of the past year push her to make a mistake she can’t take back. Now, her corporate finance job and her fiancé are gone thanks to her newly-acquired criminal record.
Shane Marlow survived an IED blast during his service in Iraq—but half his team did not. Physically healed, he returns to his home county as a K9 officer. The scars of loss run deep and though local folks admire him, no one truly gets him—until Becca literally lands in front of him.
Their bond of shared tragedy evolves into a connection both fiery and healing. But a stalker decides that Becca’s crime should stay front and center. As the unsettling episodes reveal that no part of her life is secret, Shane is all that stands between her and the enemy. AMAZON LINK

It didn't take me long to like both of the main characters. Yes, Becca and Shane had quite the dramatic first meeting. Which leads to following up on their attraction and they find that they have more than just that. I liked that they didn't jump into bed right away but they do get there. So prepare yourself for a few sex scenes.
I also was quick to wonder what trouble with the law that Becca got involved with. It does come out of course but I like how the author didn't let you know right away.
I should add that there is another main character even if Denver is in the canine category. Denver does prove himself over and over in the story. He's good at what he does.
Every girl needs a flamboyant best friend and Marcy fills the bill for Becca. Not only is Marcy colorful but she is also a faithful friend.
Too bad the word faithful can't be used with Becca's ex Kirk. He wasn't faithful to stand by her when everything hit the fan. He was more concerned about how her stupid mistake affected him and his career. A sensitive man? Only to himself. I was so hoping he was the one causing all the painful harassing and stalking. But you will have to read the book to find out who that is for real. Why spoil your fun?
Although there are no real big surprises, the stalker does become bolder. When the stalker does, the author keeps up the tension of wondering where and how they would strike next. That provided some unpredictable moments. Although the twist with her car towards the end was quite a surprise and pretty creative.
Is there an Epilogue you ask? That would be a "yes". And I liked how it finished things up to a H.E.A.
