Officer Off Limits
Tessa Bailey
Book Review by Brenda Wright
Book Blurb:
His need to possess her is non-negotiable.
Story Brooks’ fiancé just called off their
wedding two weeks before the happy day. As if that isn't bad enough, her
semi-estranged father, an infamous NYPD hostage negotiator, has suffered a
heart attack. Not wanting to examine her lack of emotion over the broken
engagement, she hops on a plane to reconnect with her father before it’s too
late.
Playboy hostage negotiator Daniel Chase has
never, not once, been refused by a woman, so when a debate over hospital snack
foods with a delectable kindergarten teacher ends in flat-out rejection, he
makes it his mission to seduce her. His only obstacle? She’s the daughter of
his mentor who implicitly forbade Daniel from pursuing her.
Despite her father’s warnings and Daniel’s
troubled past, Daniel and Story can’t resist their intense attraction to one
another. But when the reason for her fiancé’s abrupt wedding cancellation comes
to light, can Story and Daniel's already forbidden relationship survive?
My Review:
This book releases on June 10.
I have not read anything by Tessa Bailey before. I will be reading more though! This book was really good. VERY HOT scene warning!! Probably one of the hottest
car sex scenes I’ve ever read!! I’m
still fanning myself from that part!!
Anyway...Story Brooks starts out in the book having dinner
with her fiancé, Foster. He’s actually
dumping her two weeks before the wedding – and before she can even order
dessert! What does she do? She orders a bottle of the best champagne TO
GO!! She’s walking out of the restaurant
to a cab, she realizes that she’s not even sad.
Just as she’s about home she receives a phone call that her estranged
father suffered from a heart attack....in New York. She grabs some clothes and hops a plane to
New York City!!
While waiting to see her father she goes to grab a snack
from the vending machine....little did she know she was about to meet the man
that will change her life!
Daniel Chase....(he sounds sooo hot! I really need to get a visual for
him!)....grew up as a foster kid. He’s had
many things happen to him and he feels he’s not worthy of love or to be
loved. He’s a playboy. He’s one of the top Hostage Negotiator
working for his mentor Jack. Jack is
Story’s estranged father. Daniel has
women falling all over him. He’s at the
hospital visiting his mentor and friend when a nurse puts her phone number in
his pocket. Then he sees “her” a vision in yellow at a vending machine.....
I love the banter between Daniel and Story. They fit to well together! Can they do this? Is Story ready to move on? Is this a rebound? Can she have feelings this fast? I’m not going to spoil it for you, but this story will drag you in. Hell, I’m not even a sports fan and I now want to go to a baseball game just so I can see if I can find Daniel and maybe meet him in the parking lot! (wink wink).
There are some really great and
memorable quotes in this book. Here are
a few of my favorites:
At the memory of Daniel’s mouth on hers, his hands moving
possessively over her skin. Story felt
her blood heat. Pressing a cool hand to
her cheek to relieve the spreading pinkness, she tried to think of something, anything, else: Austin Powers. Rotten bananas. Beatlemania.
Scabies. Nothing worked.
"Belong to me, Story.
Even if it’s just for a little while.” (this one is my favorite!)
"How do people live their lives feeling like this, day in and day out?
Like your next breath depends on another person's happiness? She's torture and
heaven all rolled up into one forbidden package."
Somehow she'd ended up in bed with the man mothers warn
their daughters to stay away from, the kind of man fathers go after with a
shotgun. Sobbing daughters trailing behind them in a wedding dress. She should
have stayed
away, because now she knew what all the fuss was about, she would not be
satisfied with anything less. He'd blindsided her, ruined her, and addicted her
in one single evening.
