There are two things in this life that Gus Brannock truly loves; his family and his job. His family is growing and he wants what his brother and sister have before the job he's worked so hard for takes its toll. The woman he's got his eye on, however, isn't interested in being with a man who risks his life every day. When the unexpected friendship with the sassy red head he used to hate turns into something Gus just doesn't want to live without, he will do whatever it takes to have her. The hazards of his job as a detective for missing children may end up proving to be too much, but there's a reason Aiden was brought into his life and nothing will stand in his way to keep her there.
Aiden Murphy used to hate the handsome jerk next door until a surprising discovery spun her world in another direction. Her life of devotion to her sister and niece has been her biggest strength with the exception of her art. That is, until Gus turns out to be the one thing that has been missing from that life all along. Aiden must decide if the unknown is worth the risk of loving the dedicated detective or if being pulled into his world is more than she can handle. When Gus becomes the only way for her to keep the people she loves most safe, will she understand why he treasures her untried strength or will she let her fear of the unknown decide for her?

I was actually disappointed in this novel, I was hoping it would be more funny. Or a little more banter, but there wasn't any. It was really disappointing.
However, unlike all the others, I couldn't connect with this one as well as I liked. I felt like they fell in love too quickly, everything happened too quickly. I also didn't understand his connection to the little girl in it.
yes I understand feeling emotionally involved considering it's his job and all, but it made it come across as if he felt like the little girl was his. When technically they only met each other a few times. Again, no bond. Disappointing.
The story line was okay. I liked that it does raise awareness that children can go missing in the most busiest of places. You only have to turn your head for a few seconds for something to happen.
I rated it 3* because I still loved the characters too an extent.
