Book Blurb

Doctor Chandler Brogan’s favorite things start with the letter S: Speed, Sex, and as she soon discovers when a cop pulls her over on her motorcycle for reckless driving…Sarah. Chandler is a clinical psychologist who focuses on sexual dysfunction, but her professional expertise has never made her personal life any easier. She spends more and more time searching for the ultimate connection, and when she fails, she escapes on her bike. Officer Sarah Monroe enjoys being in control, so much so that she can’t let down her guard enough to achieve the intimacy she secretly craves. From their first tumultuous meeting, the two women are drawn together in a battle of wills and a fiery sexual dance that neither can turn away from.

 

Book Review

In this book, two individual women each make an impressive mark on those around them and sometimes a bit beyond. They are towering personalities turning heads and having folks stop talking to just stare. I was initially bowled over by both of them. However, they each have hidden pain and buried heart-breaking memories that periodically overwhelm them. At a moment when they are both at the top of their game, they are completely taken with the other. Oh, this is going to be fun! 

Chan, Chandler L. Brogan, loves speed. In fact, she has incorporated this love into moments of bliss and clarity.  Naturally, she adores her motorcycle. Chan and her brother Hank, a successful motocross rider, really enjoy themselves when they bike together. I didn’t find out until I was a third of way into book what Chandler’s actual profession was. That was a kick in the pants and really added an astounding and critical element to the story. I adored Chan!

Sarah Monroe, a patrol officer, meets Chan and Hank initially in a professional capacity. I laughed my pants off. Sarah cuts a dramatic figure as she interrogates the siblings. This is the start of an incredibly intriguing interaction and very possibly the obsession by Chan with Sarah and Sarah with Chan. Sarah was simply extraordinary!

All the dark secrets and painful memories get revealed and play critical parts in Chandler and Sarah’s lives. This was amazingly intricate, painful, and yet exquisite. I was completely riveted and once again I could not put this book down. Oh my goodness, can this possibly be another Bold Strokes Books winner? Yup! For, me, it was also a delightful introduction to Ronica Black. This is sometimes gut-wrenching, but there are orgasmic highs and rich interactions with family and friends. Please do not miss this treasure!
