ARROGANT OFFICER: FALLING FOR AN ARIES (Falling for the Stars #4) by LAUREN RUNOW & JEANNINE COLETTE

“Do you trust me?”
“With my life.”

We do love a man in uniform and when they come as hot as Dax Harder, even more so. We’ve had this book on our kindles a long while and we could kick ourselves that we hadn’t picked it up earlier. However, we do love finding hidden gems on our kindles. And that’s exactly what we found here. Our reading mood fancied an easy-to-read romance with a bit of angst, humour, heat, and passion. The Arrogant Officer turned out to have it all. We highly recommend this rom-com, which turned out to be so much more than just that! With fabulous chemistry, funny banter, heart-breaking as well as explosive moments, The Arrogant Officer covered all bases.  We fell in love with not only Bree and Dax but the entire cast and crew. Every character counted and it made for such a great read, by Jeannine Colette and Lauren Runow!

‘I don’t know what just happened between us, but I do know that I’m absolutely ruined for any other man for the rest of my life.’

The way in which Bree meets Dax made us laugh out loud, from having had one of those sex-tortion emails ourselves we have to admit we deleted them from our inbox straight away rather than storm down to the police station in our nighties. But if we’d be seen to by a gorgeous Dax, we’d be straight down there too…*pun intended*. This first meeting started a romantic journey that immediately hooked us along for the ride. The connection between the two of them was palpable as well as believable, and it was absolutely hilarious at times. It didn’t come without its drama and high emotion though, this is due to Dax having a steel shield that gets put up anytime he’s reminded that there are some things, he just cannot control, which is second nature to him. His childhood is marred by tragedy from which Dax still carries open scars that just won’t heal. Well, we all know that love can be the best healer, and the wonderful and level-headed Bree shows him just that. The Arrogant Officer had real heart, with poignant moments of family, loyalty, friendship, and love. It made us laugh out loud one minute, our hearts hurting the next. And the heat…. scorching! This is definitely a book to add to your reading lists!

“Never be embarrassed to tell a man how he makes you feel. Good or bad, he needs to know.”
