Synopsis:
Let’s do a calendar, they said. It’ll be fun, they said.
Well, they—i.e. Kilgore Police Department’s public relations specialists—were wrong.
Now, every time Dax Tremaine walks around a corner, the women of Kilgore, Texas can’t help calling him Mr. January.
Mr. January, can you fix my flat tire? Mr. January, can you cuff me? Mr. January, can you sign my boob?
It goes from bad to worse when even on a SWAT call, the women won’t stay away.
***
It was the worst time of her life. Rowen Roberts had finally admitted to herself that the man she loved would never love her back. She was just fired from her job for violating client confidentiality, and to make matters worse, she’s held up at gunpoint in a convenience store where she only wanted some ice cream to help mask the pain.
The moment the gun is pressed to her forehead, she knows she has a decision to make. Follow the rules and maybe possibly live, or go down swinging where at least she can salvage just a little bit of her dignity.
And when Mr. January himself tells her to do what the gunman says, she’s had enough. Rowen has never really been a girl that does what she’s told. Mr. January won’t have to save her. She can dang well save herself.
My Review:
I have read other books by this author and really enjoyed them, and this one was no different! I loved so much about the main character, Rowen, so much about her was just like me! Her attitude towards alcohol, as well as how she felt about having things on her head like hats, wigs, etc. I loved the different headings in each chapter as well, although at one point I did have to go Google what it suggested in one of them. Which was hilarious, even if it wasn't completely true. Rowen and Dax were a great couple. You felt so much for her after what she'd been through, and you totally wanted to punch both her bully as well as Dax's high school ex-girlfriend. I loved the whole watching the scary movie together, and while I prefer to watch on a tv, I could see how a laptop might be a fun comfy and somewhat sexy experience as well! I know that I want to read more in this series as well as maybe go back for some of the ones I haven't read from the original SWAT books!
