I'm going to miss these guys! They are so hot, sweet and protective, I want a combination of them in one person and that one person to be only for me, This time, was Grey's time, and I love him so much, Girls, read these books! You have to watch out for the quiet ones, Kerry was the one always hanging back while Alicia Officer Next Door Lock and Key,amp Sasha Officer out of Uniform Lock and Keymet and fell in love with their men Liam amp Henry respectively.
But quiet doesnt necessarily mean without strength, In Kerrys case it was her very strength keeping her quiet, Grey is outgoing and friendly, He really likes Kerry and wants to get to know her better, As soon as he finally starts to make headway with her strange things start happening, We really didnt get to know Kerry in the other books but what we did see I liked, I thought of Grey as an overgrown Frat Boy, It was really nice to discover each of them,
Another well written, totally engrossing entry into the Lock and Key series, Though part of a series each book can be read standalone,
Complimentary copy provided by author/publisher for an honest review
Really enjoyed reading this book, This was the best one out of the three, Okay book, I still don't get the handcuff stuff though This was Grey and Kerry's story, and like before, I loved Grey.
Unfortunately, I found bookto be a disappointing, Once again the heroine bugged me the wrong way, The whole thing about her keeping it a secret that she was once married to a man who physically abused her was lame.
Please note that I'm not making fun of victims of physical abuse or laying blame at their feet, What I'm saying is that the reasons why the heroine, Kerry, didn't tell her friends of her past didn't work for me.
On one hand Kerry doesn't want to get close to her friends, or start a relationship with Grey, because she wants to keep them safe, yet not only does she work with them, they're best friends and joined at the hip.
Whatever. Not to mention it was quite obvious right from the start what Kerry's story was, Definitely not an exciting read, In fact, I found the whole story was anything but exciting, Oh crap. There's another installment coming out soon, I must be nuts but knowing myself, looks like I'll be reading that one too, Warning If you are a reader who has dealt with domestic violence you may find this story difficult to read, I personally felt connected with Kerry and her situation and I thank Ranae Rose for telling this compelling story,
Kerry started a new life in Riley County three years ago and she has been keeping secrets, No one knows that she married when she wasyears old or that she had had an abusive husband that she had left and later divorced.
She spends her time trying to be unnoticeable
Grey is an officer and he has certainly taken notice of her over and he is and officer in full pursuit! He helps Kerry slowly come out of her selfimposed shell.
He is a selfprofessed badass, The longer he spends with her it could prove deadly, to both of them,
Kerrys exhusband wants her back and he intends to get her not matter what it takes Grey has something different to say about that! Grey wants Kerry no doubt about it but Kerry continuously tries to keep him at arms length no matter how much she wants him.
Kerry has her secrets that she fears will come back to haunt her,
This book is filled with such passion, pain, mystery, and love, I highly recommend this book, It was such an enjoyable read!Cant wait for more from this series,
ARC provided by author for an honest review, Loved the hero of this book, Yes, he was hot and caring and protective and what not, . but best of all he was hilarious and could laugh about himself, Of course there was also a suspense story with a raging psychoexhusband and a love story with a sweet woman finding herself.
Secrets are what Kerry has lived and breathed for the past three years, and those secrets may kill her, if she's not careful.
Her new life in a coastal North Carolina paradise is haunted by her past and ruled by her number one goal: to not be noticed.
Even if that means denying her attraction to Officer Grey Morgan, who's set his sights on her beyond any doubts and despite all odds.
Grey has spent his summer in pursuit of Kerry, but what he doesn't know is that nothing with her is as it seems and loving her comes with a price.
What she doesn't know is that there's no risk he won't take, and no way he'll let her fight her demons alone.
Bookin the Lock and Key Series,
Also available in the Lock and Key Series:
sitelink tumblr. com/po I was very kindly provided with a copy of Officer in Pursuit to read and review,
I never thought I would love a couple more than I did Alicia and Liam from Officer Next Door, book one in the Lock and Key series.
But Im sorry, move on over guys and make way for Kerry and Grey, These two just made my heart swoon and then melt into a huge mushy puddle, They were cute, funny and so romantic it made me feel the need to propose to the next man I laid eyes on.
The small introductions weve been given to Kerry and Grey in the two previous books had made me feeling least excited about their story over anyones, but dont be as easily fooled as me as their mystery alone made this the best book so far.
Kerry is one of the strongest females Ive had the pleasure of coming across, she never believes in letting anyone fight her battles for her and she will always give everything her all but at the same time she is so heart wrenchingly fragile about the way she perceives herself.
Her lack of self belief and seeing herself as “irreparably broken” are all repercussions of her past but they are completely heart breaking to hear.
At times I wondered if she was not only trying to protect her friends from her past but also didnt believe herself worthy of them and their love.
I wont say anything about Kerrys past as I really think you need to read this without spoiling the story at all but I guarantee that you wont regret hearing her story.
“He didnt expect winning over Kerry to be easy, But he did expect it to be worth it, ”
Grey “lover of iced sugar cookies shaped like sharks” was the funniest, most loveable character possible, I adored that he never once lost heart or faith in Kerry and his ability to warm her heart and win her over had me falling in love with him just as badly as she did.
Once or twice his inner dialogue had tears streaming down my face, he was utterly hilarious, He was the complete
package, from his sense of humour to his full on panty melting charm, Kerry never really has a chance of not falling heart over head for him.
His warmth and passion will leave you wishing that he truly was real and that it was possible to go kidnap him all for yourself!
This book went far too quickly for me, I reached the end after devouring it in two sittings but I would have been over the moon if it had of been double in length, I loved it that much.
Grey and Kerry were two of my most favourite characters Ive ever read and I would happily take a whole series of just hearing all about them.
Kerry is written in a way that she is one hundred and ten percent human, believable and made me feel as though she was actually real by the end of the book.
She had amazing strength but also such a lack of self confidence that my heart just cried for her as more and more about her was revealed, the subject matter that her past involves was handled with such grace and care by Ranae Rose that I applaud her.
Its not an easy story to try and write and a subject that has touched so many lives but it was told so delicately.
I often found that I had been holding my breath and wrapping my arms around myself halfway through a chapter without realising it, this is such an easy book to get sucked in to.
I honestly urge everyone to give this book a go because you wont be disappointed, especially after the epilogue,
I cant wait for book four of the Lock and Key Series which will cover Jeremys story, My only request is for even more handcuff scenes, please! Thank you so much to Ranae Rose for sending me an ARC of this book and for giving me a new favourite, not only in this series but in my all time list, this was an amazing read.
