As with every other book of Tessa's, this is one beautiful, fun, hot, dirty ride of a book!! I woke up with my kindle by my head because I just couldn't put it down last night!
I have so many favorite scenes and clips of Shane and Willa's story! Watching the way they fought against the pull of each other - and then raced toward each other - {deep breath} SIGH!!! wow! I enjoyed being in Willa's head and loved seeing how her photography moved her. Experiencing how Shane pushed and encouraged Willa to just be Willa, and took care of his family - my heart melted! But Shane also knew how to wring the shivers out of me too: Having to chase you only makes me want to pin you down. Um, ok!! (but I'll still fight it just to make that pin worth it! haha!)
Another one of my favorite things about this book, catching up with Derek and Ginger from Protecting What's His - one of my favorite couples ever! Ginger's love and advice and encouragement to Willa brought tears to my eyes, and Derek just being Derek... sigh! Couldn't have been better! Loved seeing their family grow and Derek's response to that.
Tessa - it's awesome knowing how near and dear to your heart Willa and Shane are - and you shared their story with us perfectly! I love the experience you gifted to us! Thank you!!

Asking for Trouble - Tessa Bailey
Line of Duty book 4
I have *no idea* why I was thinking when I first heard about this book that I wouldn't fall in love with Brent and Hayden - maybe because I tend to cringe at the whole enemies-to-lovers thing (while I like some conflict, I dislike tons of drama/conflict!) But have no fear, even though there were moments of drama, Tessa handled it superbly - and I never felt bogged down in it or wished that the book would end yesterday!
What ended up happening, as with all of Tessa's men, is I fell for Brent - the way he loves, cares, protects, and provides for his family and then Hayden. I think that's what I love about all of Tessa's heroes - they all have that same alpha gene that demands they do nothing less than protect, lead, and love on the people in their lives. Hmmmm... we actually need more real life men to stand up like that!

Staking His Claim - Tessa Bailey
Line of Duty book 5
Wow!!! What a ride!!! Tessa Bailey has done it again!! She's given us the last (oh so sad!) man in her Line of Duty series and Matt is just as amazing as the rest of the guys, even maybe stole first place in my heart (well, until I re-read one of her other books - they each take first as I read them!) Once I started reading Matt and Lucy's story, I couldn't put it down! Made for a late night, but I'm not complaining!!
I have always enjoyed Tessa's books - and love that she writes a dang good story and the intimate stuff fits in, not overwhelms. She's detailed, but leaves just enough to our imagination (to me, that's hotter than detailing every little bitty detail) to suck you in and keep you just on that edge... :)
I love how while there was a little conflict between Matt and Lucy, there was nothing that made me want to just scream and shake them to wake up and get over themselves. The sparks between the two - hot! And how Matt cared for Lucy - even hotter! I laughed, groaned, and got the shivers (yeah) throughout it all. And all that dirty talkin'....
No matter what this woman writes, I'll read it, and know that I'll love it. Just stop what you're doing and do yourself a treat and go get this now!

Officer off Limits - Tessa Bailey
Line of Duty book 3
Daniel and Story - gotta love them!
The way Story's father throws these two together (although they already had a run-in previously) was great! Neither of them saw it coming! Getting to see how Daniel went from being a playboy to being Story's alone was beautiful - the emotions, the conflict, the acceptance then action! Being there the moment Story realizes that she's already claimed Daniel and was ready to prove it to him - again, beautiful! I think this is more of a sweeter book than the others in this series, but that doesn't mean there's less HOT in it - because it's there in abundance (um, the pic text???)
Yet again, Tessa's characters have burrowed deep in my heart and won't let go!

His Risk to Take - Tessa Bailey
Line of Duty book 2
Every book of Tessa's is an auto buy for me - and an auto favorite! She's yet to disappoint me to anything less than a 5+ star rating!!!
Each book of hers I read, each hero becomes a favorite I think will never be topped - till I read the next one, or re-read a previous one!!
Loved this quick read (novella) about Troy and Ruby! (and I'm so thrilled to know there's a sequel coming out sometime in 2014!!) The intensive feelings from the moment they first see each other, to the first time Ruby goes to Troy's place (HOT HOT HOT! whew, I did need a fan!), to how Troy protects and pursues Ruby - all of them kept me entranced.

Protecting What's Theirs - Tessa Bailey
Line of Duty book 1.5
Well, it's a Tessa Bailey book, so I already knew I'd love it. :) Getting even more of a taste of Derek and Ginger (one of my most fav couples ever!) was perfect! There was just enough of a hint of conflict, but Derek definitely (once he got his rear into gear) took care of fixing what was broke, in the only (and perfectly hot and beautiful) way Derek can. :)
I think that to get the most enjoyment out of this book, you need to read Protecting What's His first so that you get more of the history - then you can really feel the heat and connection between the characters.

Protecting What's His - Tessa Bailey
Line of Duty book 1
Lt. Tyler was my first dirty talker (thanks, Tessa, for taking my dirty-talker virginity!) - and he'll always have a special place in my heart. I never got as many shivers and tingles reading a book as I did this one!
I loved seeing Ginger find herself as she dealt with taking care of her little sister, worked through her struggles with why they left Nashville, and seeing her slowly but surly fall in love with Derek. I adored how Derek pursued her and never gave up, and always remained himself.
I think my favorite part of the story (well, besides all of it) was the scene in the hospital when Ginger rushed there after getting a phone call about Derek's involvement in a shooting....
Love this book (and the audio version)!! Tessa will always be an immediate purchase for me!
