So gritty.

So passionate and chemistry driven.
Such excellent writing, I really need to read the first three in this series, but this was an awesome introduction to a new author.
You can guarantee I’ll definitely be reading more from D C Stone in the future.

I received an Arc copy of this book and chose to post this review
Thankyou to Netgally for the Arc.

I rarely get a chance to read a good romance with this much suspense and steamy goodness...definitely had all thee above plus some extras.

Juliette Scaglione is just coming back from a Mexican vacation she took with he brother and boyfriend. The part that sucks she's coming back alone without her brother and single because she doesn't have a boyfriend anymore. As she grips her heavy luggage in the busy New York airport she's is stopped by the sexiest man she has ever seen and has no clue why this adonis among men wishes to speak to her in private. Matt Gonzalez is a DEA agent and he just received a tip from his informant that could help with the take down of the cartel. What he didn't expect was the potential suspect looking innocently seductive and that she would get under his skin. The attraction came to a holt when the suitcase in question didn't just carry clothes and as the opinion of innocence for Juliette slowly begin looking very criminal to Matt ...both of their world exploded into chaos.

Fighting for survival against the cartel, nature, and sexual tension Juliette and Matt must work together to get back on US soil.

This book had some brutal torture weaving throughout the story, but necessary as it brought the romance within the plot to come together. The betrayal was just so heartbreaking and just made you want to reach in the story to help fix everything. I was rooting for Jules the whole time and just wanted her to get her HEA immediately after everything she was going through. The heat between Matt and Jules ...MY GAWD...was just scorching HOT! Plus the way the author slid in that sexual surprise ...like SAY WHAT NOW!

This story was worth the emotional rollercoaster I was on reading this ...it was suspenseful as hell. I need to find out more about Matt's brothers because their stories probably will be as good as Matt's. You have to read this book its a 10 out 10 for me.

This book was so good! This book is very suspenseful and had my heart pounding, waiting for what’s next. This book had forced proximity, virgin mmc, and portrayed the tropes greatly! This book got my attention from the beginning and didn’t let go of it! The only issue I have is some parts of this book seemed very unrealistic. Overall, such a fantastic, suspenseful, romance book! Thank you to Evernight Publishing and Netgalley for sending me this ARC! All opinions are my own.

This book had me hooked by 10%. I literally couldn’t put it down because I was so curious as to what would happen between a DEA and innocent, wrongly accused woman. Honestly it’s not often I feel so on the edge of my seat wondering if they’ll be caught.

DEA Special Agent Matt and Juliette are captured by the cartel and escape back to New York. During these trials, they both have to face their fears in different ways. Ultimately growing closer together as their experiences pan out.

This is book 4 in the Empire Blue series, but it is not necessary to read the other 3 to enjoy this book. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a suspenseful romance or crime romance. It was like Blue Bloods with romance added! Thank you to the publisher Evernight and author D.C. Stone for the ARC in exchange for my honest review!

Rating: 5/5 Stars
