Description

As a cold case heats up, two former adversaries discover there is a thin line between love and hate.
TASK FORCE HAWAII, BOOK TWO
Seven years ago, Dr. Elle Middleton's world crashed and burned. She has rebuilt her life and found comfort in her work as the medical examiner for TFH. When a new case leads to a cold case, she is beyond excited for the challenge, until she finds out the one man she wants to avoid is her partner on the case.
Graeme McGregor isn't any happier with the assignment. The doctor gets under his skin in more ways than one. He's avoided his attraction by keeping his distance from her, but working with her has made it impossible to resist taking a little taste.
One kiss leads to another...then to a full blown affair. But even as they draw closer to each other, secrets from that long ago murder rise to the surface. The killer's determination to stay free leads to a dangerous confrontation that puts both of their lives in peril and could leave TFH in shambles.

As a cold case heats up, two former adversaries discover there is a thin line between love and hate.

A Note From the Publisher

The heroine in the book is a rape survivor, and that might be a trigger for some people.

This is the second book in the series and while they are stand alone, the TFH team and their relationships are involved in all the books. If you have not read the first book, but would be interested in reviewing it, please contact me at Melissa@MelissaSchroeder.net.

Book Three, Constant Cravings, will be available in December for review. I would prefer that you have a review blog, goodreads account, or review at one of the online retailers.

These days Elle has found a happy place in her life but a new case brings her face to face with the man she wants to avoid. Graeme and Elle fight their attraction to each other but can you really fight love? I enjoyed watching these two find their way to happiness. Both Graeme and Elle are each good people and together they make a great team. As the two work the case they must also work through their emotions and find out just what they truly want.

This fast paced book pulled me in right from the start and is full of just the right amount of romance and action.

5.0 Star Review Hostile Desires (Task Force Hawaii #2) by Melissa Schroeder
The Task Force Hawaii team works on a variety of cases in conjunction with local, state and federal agencies.
Over the last 12 months I have found myself gravitating to the romantic suspense genre and in my humble opinion Melissa Schroeder is one of the best I have read. She brings the stories to life so well and her writing is of an extremely high standard.
I thoroughly enjoyed Elle and Graeme’s story. In the first book in the series, Seductive Reasoning, they were often found to be sniping at each other. Now they need to work together to solve a cold case and ensure that a killer is brought to justice.
Working together brings feelings to the service that neither of them wants to admit too or even act on. It’s a fine line between love and hate.
There are so many twists and turns to this book that I was riveted and stayed up late in the night. I couldn’t put it down.
This book is exactly what I have come to expect from Melissa Schroeder, well written and thoroughly enjoyable. I anxiously await the next book in the Task Force Hawaii series.
If you are looking for a book that is hot, spicy, romantic and suspenseful, then look no further.
I received this book through the publisher and Netgalley.
Congratulations Ms. Schroeder, you have another winner on your hands.

Hostile Desires is the second book in Melissa Schroeder’s Task Force Hawaii series and can be read as a standalone.
Greame and Elle were both likeable, realistic and well-developed characters and I loved their bickering and the chemistry between them. The secondary cast was interesting and diverse as well.
A thrilling, well-paced story that kept me guessing until the very end who did it. I would definitely recommend this book to anybody who loves romantic suspense.

* I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Book 2 in the tasks force Hawaii. The characters in this series is what makes these books fantastic. They all get there own story an you get to know each one of them an the couples they become. This is going to be another great series by Melissa. I just love her books not read one I haven't loved yet. You will need to read in order to understand and get to know everyone but you will end up falling just as I did in love with them, can't wait for the next book. Would totally recommend

Both Graeme and Elle are transplants in Hawaii. It's different seeing the beautiful island from their point of view.
Graeme is so patient with Elle knowing that she just needs time. Elle knows what she needs and wants, Graeme is it.
While you can read this book as a stand alone, I think it would be best to read in order. All of the characters from Seductive Reasoning are in this book and with relationships growing or starting, having the background helps.
