\"Line<\/a><\/p>\n

Line of Duty<\/strong>\u00a0by VK Powell<\/strong> is a romantic story about finding what you want the most in the person you least expect to.<\/p>\n

ER Doctor Dylan Carlyle is certain that getting involved with Finley Masters would be a mistake. Finley is infamous for her unabashed, no-strings liaisons with nurses. Beyond that, Dylan comes from a family of police officers and she refuses to date one. She\u2019s already lost her father and grandfather because of the badge. She can\u2019t and won\u2019t set herself up to lose others. So, it doesn\u2019t matter how attractive Finley is or how disarming Dylan finds her when they talk. That they can\u2019t keep their eyes off one another isn\u2019t important. The way sparks fly between them is irrelevant. She has her rules; she just wishes her friends and family would stop encouraging her to break them. They worry that she\u2019s shut herself off from living, but even if she has, Finley would be the worst mistake she could make.<\/p>\n

Finley Masters has seen up close the devastation that love can cause. She\u2019s cultivated a playgirl persona to manage the stress of being a police officer and protect herself from intimacy. She avoids relationships, preferring to keep her sexual adventures casual. Dr. Carlyle\u2019s resistance to her flirting intrigues her from the first. But Dylan\u2019s older sister is a police captain and Finley\u2019s boss. With the entire Carlyle family practically being police royalty, pursuing Dylan would be career suicide. Yet her common sense disappears when they are in close proximity. She finds herself drawn to Dylan, longing to get to know the woman behind the professional fa\u00e7ade.<\/p>\n

When an active shooter event injures Finley\u2019s best friend, both women\u2019s fears and vulnerabilities are exposed. Dylan, tired of being told to let herself live a little, allows herself one magical night with Finley. They both agree it\u2019s only a fling. No matter how connected they feel, that\u2019s all it can be. Anything else would be disaster, wouldn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n

The Characters<\/h3>\n

I think most people have a favorite when it comes to a romantic pairing. One of the characters is usually easier to associate with than the other. It\u2019s like being asked which Star Trek captain is the best (the answer is Picard). You may like all of them, but there\u2019s the one whose journey you are slightly more invested in (still Picard).<\/p>\n

This is not true of Dylan and Finley. I truly loved each of them. They were both complex, flawed and heroic. Finley has never really known what it\u2019s like to have a family. Dylan is used to her family surrounding and occasionally suffocating her. Finley is trying to come to terms with the pain surrounding her father\u2019s death. Dylan too, for very different reasons, hasn\u2019t made peace with her own losses. They both have a specific kind of loneliness. They are fulfilled but incomplete.<\/p>\n

At the risk of dragging out an overly sentimental metaphor, a puzzle missing a piece can be beautiful, but the hole is still there. I was rooting for Dylan and Finley. It\u2019s reassuring to see two people discover that sometimes what fits isn\u2019t what you could have ever predicted.<\/p>\n

The Writing Style<\/h3>\n

As I write this, I find myself wanting to reread the book, because the path each character takes is unique. The series of moments where their beliefs are tested and transformed are both big and small. I loved the pacing and I enjoyed that nothing ever felt like filler.<\/p>\n

The sex scenes are also worth a mention. Before our two heroines share a bed and during, there is a teasing quality that makes the scenes electric. Balancing heat and intense connection can be challenging, and here it is done perfectly.<\/p>\n

The Pros<\/h3>\n

There are some wonderful touches of realism to the story. The need to quickly make impossible, life-and-death decisions as a doctor is explored.<\/p>\n

Finley\u2019s dedication to her job and to her fellow officers rings with absolute truth. Have you read a book that felt so substantial that you suspected it had to be written from direct experience?<\/p>\n

Immediately after I finished the book, I looked up the author\u2019s bio in an attempt to verify my suspicions.<\/p>\n

I will not reveal the results of my detective work. However, should you wish to call me \u201cSherlock\u201d after this review, I will not object. It\u2019s elementary, my dear reader.<\/p>\n

The Cons<\/h3>\n

While I loved both characters, some of Finley\u2019s emotional changes were rushed. Given her history with her father, I prepared myself for a navigation of her deep-seated fears of surrendering to love. Instead that loose thread is sewn back into the narrative pretty quickly. Of the two of them, Finley winds up being much more at ease with the idea of being in a relationship. I would have liked a few more scenes where she battled some of her inner demons on that topic.<\/p>\n

The active shooter scene may be triggering. It isn\u2019t incredibly graphic, but it does convey the intensity of the fear faced in that situation. The event happens at a family carnival, so while only adults are wounded, children do see the violence, and this is touched on briefly in other parts of the book.<\/p>\n

The Conclusion<\/h3>\n

I like to think of reading a story as entrusting yourself to the pilot of an airplane. You\u2019re in highly capable and talented hands here.<\/p>\n

I am already looking up other VK Powell books to buy.<\/p>\n

Excerpt from Line of Duty by VK Powell<\/h2>\n

\u201cAnd Finley and I talked all the way to Durham. I mean really talked. She\u2019s not like her reputation, or what I imagined. She\u2019s deeper. Like you said, a soft underbelly. I saw her as more than a cop for the first time.\u201d She clamped her hands over her mouth. \u201cI sound like a bad romance novel. The more she talked, the more I liked her. By the time we got back to her place, I was so turned on I couldn\u2019t imagine not having sex with her.\u201d Heat flooded Dylan\u2019s body and she reached for her iced tea. \u201cWhat have I done?\u201d<\/p>\n

Holly smothered a grin. \u201cAnd\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, Holly, it was unbelievable. It wasn\u2019t just sex. It was sex max. I\u2019ve never been so\u2026but none of that matters.\u201d She waved her hand through the air as if she could erase everything they\u2019d enjoyed and the lingering effects. \u201cBesides, she was probably just getting on my good side so I\u2019d let her know when the shooting suspect woke up. She got what she wanted this morning, and he apparently gave her a lead. Now she\u2019s off to find his accomplice. She\u2019ll boost her career, make detective, and I\u2019ll be a footnote.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDo you really believe that?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter what I believe. We agreed to one night. Now life returns to normal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Holly reached across the table and cupped Dylan\u2019s hand. \u201cBut that\u2019s not really you, is it?\u201d<\/p>\n

Dylan didn\u2019t answer. Couldn\u2019t answer honestly, so she said nothing.<\/p>\n

\u201cTalk to your family.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAbout having sex with a near-stranger? Are you mad?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAbout life with a cop. Norma, Gayle, Kerstin, and even Emory can provide perspective, soften this hard line you\u2019ve drawn between you and Finley based on her profession.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s nothing to talk about, Holly.\u201d Discussing the challenges of life with a police officer hadn\u2019t occurred to her because she was never going to be in that position. But what if she was already heading in that direction? Finley\u2019s easy dismissal as she rushed toward her next chase made that seem unlikely. They\u2019d enjoyed each other in the bubble of a magical evening, but the bubble burst at daybreak.<\/p>\n
