In Samantha Harper’s experience, new neighbors are bad news especially suspicious and brooding, dangerous but sexy ones, so the aspiring cop in her takes action in this delightful romantic suspense. All he wants to do is lay low and survive the crap surveillance assignment he’s been saddled with but after a run with his attractive neighbor, DEA agent Ash Cooper realizes that’s going to be much harder than he planned and the readers cant’ help but be delighted by this humorous but suspenseful romance as Ash tries to keep Samantha out of trouble and out of his hands. The chemistry between Ash and Samantha sizzles with lots of heat but this is one relationship that is full of heated clashes and Trouble with a capital T as both have sound reasoning for avoiding an entanglement with each other. The characters are strong and easily grab the reader’s attention with their compelling personalities and the plot is fast paced and flows smoothly with lots suspense, excitement and romance. The story starts off with an intense situation that grabs reader’s attention and continuously builds suspense and excitement along with quite a lot of humor from there as Ash and Samantha work at cross purposes to bring down the bad guy. With Samantha being the culprit for most of the humor as she manages to gets herself in and out of some situations with some unorthodox methods. The scenes are well written and capture the imagination while the intriguing events keep readers glued to the pages. The author used some creative license to make her story a bit unique and I enjoyed the story although I have to tell you that I had a love/hate relationship with Samantha of my own, sometimes I wanted to cheer her on and sometimes I wanted to strangle her but it was definitely fun.

This book had some funny scenes but for the most part just left me wanting more. Samantha is a secretary for the local police who wants to follow in her father's footsteps and become a cop, only problem is she can't pass the firearm test. Sam lives with her grandmother and has helped form the neighborhood watch, a group of grandmas determined to keep the peace in the quiet neighborhood. When a druggie attempts to rob Sam in front of her own home her new neighbor comes running to the rescue. When undercover DEA agent Ash moves in next door everyone assumes he is up to something so the ladies decide to put him under surveillance. Unfortunately they don't realize he is on to them and turns the tables. When Ash confronts Sam and tells her she needs to let this mugging go she fears he may be part of a cover up. Sam’s investigating leads to all sorts of trouble for both her and Ash. The book seemed a little too unbelievable to me at times and had a hard time staying interested enough to finish the book. Not a horrible book by any means just not one I would read again if given the opportunity. I received an eARC of this book in exchange for my honest review and opinion. All ratings and opinions stated are my own.

A truly awesome read! The perfect blend of humor, suspense, action, and romance. There was great chemistry between Ash and Samantha. Samantha was quite the character and although you had to question some of the things she chose to do, you can't help but love her. Loved her team of little old ladies that always had her back. This is a book I highly recommend.
