HARD LINE
(Crossing Lines #3)

Release Date: August 2nd
Blurb
My rule: Never let an old flame burn you twice.
Other people gave second chances—I didn’t. My modus operandi was to move on to the next girl in line and forget the previous one.
So when Tawnee Milano said she needed her space, I let her go. Then I left our mutual employer for a new job with the CIA and didn’t look back.
But a coded distress message from her sends me right back to where I was when we first split up. The possibility of losing her forever forces me to relax my rigid stance. With her life in danger, I’m finally facing my true feelings for her.
Mottos are all fine and good in theory. Not so much in practice.
Now my hard line policy is to get her back—and keep her this time.

Excerpt
“I’ve missed you so fucking much, sweets.” He leans his forehead against mine and closes his eyes. “Now that I have you back in my arms, don’t expect me to let you go ever again.”
There’s so much regret in his voice and so much tenderness in his touch. Is it too much to hope the childish man I knew before has matured since we’ve been apart? Honestly, I don’t want him to change everything about himself. He’s still the man I fell in love with long ago. Our problems weren’t all his fault. He owned up to his shortcomings… I owe it to him to do the same.
“Roman, I…” His lips are back on mine before I can say another word.
“Unless you’re about to talk dirty to me, and I mean filthy, nasty, dirty talk, whatever else you want to tell me can wait. But my balls are bluer than the water out there in the gulf. They can’t wait one minute longer.”
Leave it to Roman to make me laugh and put our current situation into perspective with only a few well-chosen words. “Yep, it can wait. Absolutely.”
“Can’t tell you how glad I am to hear you say that. I was about to strip those pants off you, bend you backward over the couch, and feast on you instead of the tacos still on the table.”
My Thoughts <3
I really liked this book as it features Tawnee and Roman and characters previous in the series. Not only are the characters believable but the tale that is spun by the author is twisty but also intriguing in how everything plays out.
Tawnee and Roman have not seen each other in 3 years since they broke up. Roman has gone to work for the CIA and Tawnee took over as Head of Security for the richest man in the world. They go their separate way until Roman receives a text on the secure line that stats Tawnee needs help, he immediately jumps on the plane to see what is happening. This is where it all begins and it only gets more and more interesting!
All in all, this action-packed romance had it all. I loved that Tawnee is extremely fiery and can hold her own and I love how Roman is able to realize his faults (but can he change them?). I have not read many books about Dubai or Saudi Arabia so I enjoyed the change in scenery from my normal reads and the story line was fluid. I highly recommend this book to read especially if you have read the previous books in the series, I give it a 4.5 outta 5 stars!
PS: Thank you to AD Justice and Candi Kane PR for allowing me an advanced copy of the book to read and review honestly!
