Description from the publisher:

Amber Banks has her sights set on a fresh start at the Austin Police Department after a disastrous stint in her hometown. All she wants is to be a good cop and get the validation that goes with it. If she can get away from Dex, everything would be so much simpler. But her mama always told her nothing good ever came easy.

Dex Hollerman has just retired from the force and is trying to fit in with the guys he knows so well at Pierce Securities, only now, he’s on their side for a change. With Simon’s weird edicts hanging over his head, and his inability to get the woman who was made for cop porn fantasies out of his head, it’s a struggle.

There’s a mad gunman blowing up exploding targets in downtown Austin putting a hitch in their plans, so can they get past this crazy attraction to work together?

Or will it be their downfall?

MY REVIEW

5 CROWNS

HITCH is the eighth book in the Pierce Securities series. Each stands on its own, but there is enough overlap, that in my opinion it is best to read them all and in the order of release. Besides, they are wonderful enough that you’ll just want to start at the beginning and catch up anyway, so take my advice and get them all and join me on this adventure with this team and their ladies… and sometimes it’s the ladies and their team (wink).

While all of the Pierce Securities stories are wonderfully written nail-biters, this one was a can’t-put-it-down stay-up-all-nighter of epic portions. I couldn’t say if I loved Dex or Amber more, so I guess it’s a good thing they ended up together!

Then there is the added note that Amber is from Serendipity – the town featured in one of Anne Conley’s other series. I have read and reviewed several of those stories (see below) and could picture for just a little while the small town girl running to the big city to escape her troubles. Of course, as we all find, troubles seem to follow us one way or another. Dex also has troubles – created by retiring and the hard feelings that are exhibited by those we leave behind – it is seen as turning your back on a family, in a way.

I highly recommend this book and the entire series. I’m looking forward to ECHO, when we will finally get into Simon’s head and learn more of why he’s put the hard rule in place (that everyone else has already stomped on anyway).

Note: while I was given this book as a gifted ARC, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
