Title: Disturbing His Peace (The Academy #3)
Author: Tessa Bailey
Publication Date: April 24th, 2018
Publisher: Avon
Blurb:
Danika Silva
can’t stand Lt. Greer Burns. Her roommate’s older brother may be sexy as hell,
but he’s also a cold, unfeeling robot. She just wants to graduate and forget
about her scowling superior. But when a dangerous mistake lands Danika on
probation—under Greer’s watch—she’s forced to interact with the big, hulking
jerk. Call him daily to check in? Done. Ride shotgun in his cruiser every
night? Done. Try not to climb into his giant, muscular lap and kiss him? Umm…
Greer doesn’t
let anything—or anyone—distract him from the job. Except lately, all he can
think about is Danika. He’s wanted the beautiful, cocky recruit since the
moment he saw her. But she’s reckless and unpredictable, and Greer is painfully
aware of what can happen when an officer doesn’t follow the rules. Probation
seemed like a good idea, but now Danika’s scent is in his car and he’s replayed
her voicemails twenty times. Christ, he’s a goner.
Danika’s
melting Greer’s stone-cold exterior one ride-along at a time. Being together
could have serious consequences… but breaking a few rules never hurt anybody,
right?
Review:
I guess it’s no
surprise that after gushing profusely about the first two books in the Academy
series that I would be about to do the same thing for the third installment, Disturbing His Peace. Do authors know which two characters in a
series are the most anticipated? Do they
do this on purpose? Could they be that cruel?
Yes, they
could.
Tessa Bailey is
the cruelest of them all, putting off the romantic relationship between Danika
and Greer until her final book, making us all suffer through those little
scenes in the first two novels until we were foaming at the mouth for Greer to
finally get what was coming to him with that tight butt and domineering
personality. I was beyond ready to read
about Danika rocking his world and turning his well-ordered life upside down
and I was not the least bit disappointed by this novel.
One word:
Spanking.
Should I end my
review there? I won’t. But I could and you’d probably get the gist
of my excitement and hopefully hop right on your computer and pre-order Disturbing His Peace at your earliest
convenience. For those of you who might
take a little more time to convince, feel free to continue reading.
I love, love,
love strong women. This should be obvious from the type of novels I read, but
if it wasn’t… there it is. Danika is top
of her class at the police academy, strong-willed, dependable, and she could
probably wrestle most men and win, which I think is incredibly impressive. She’s an awesome example of the sort of
female we should all strive to be: cool, calm, and confident… and funny. Really, really funny.
Greer is in my
top five of favorite male characters ever.
Of course that top five list is really like forty guys, but top forty
doesn’t sound nearly as impressive.
There’s a lot of ties on the list.
Twelve guys tied just for first place!
But man, Greer is something else.
He’s rigid and a perfectionist and there’s something about him that
makes you want to mess up all the papers on his desk and watch him go mad.
He has a
place for everything and everything is in its place. Except Danika. She won’t fit into the little box he has set
out for her and that frustrates him to no end until finally the frustration
builds into an explosion of passion and lust.
It’s writing at its finest. It’s
perfection, just like Greer. I read and
reread portions of this novel until I thought my head was going to boil from
the heat.
I loved
watching Greer battle his personal demons and seeing such a strong man learn to
accept support from Danika. There’s
something immensely attractive about a man discovering how to ask for help. He was such a treat to experience and I
implore everyone reading this review to put this novel on their To Read
shelf. And while you’re waiting, get to
reading Indecent Exposure and Disorderly Conduct. (Click the links to experience those wonderfully obsessive reviews).
I am devastated
that this series has come to its end with Disturbing
His Peace. But with Tessa Bailey
pumping out books like nobody’s business I know I won’t have to be upset for
very long. Soon another novel will come
and take the place of Most Loved on my bookshelf, but this one will always hold
a special place in my heart. Get to pre-ordering. Right now!
