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?

4 scorching hot stars!!
Just when you thought Troy (His Risk To Take) was the ultimate dirty talker of them all, Tessa Bailey dropped Daniel Chase on our laps. And whew, this guy certainly has a mouth on him. A very dirty mouth to be exact. *fans self* This book should come with a warning on them. This was definitely another scorching hot read and it's something that I have come to expect from Tessa Bailey.
Daniel Chase was a cocky, good-looking hostage negotiator whose reputation with women was legendary among his fellow cops. In fact, our heroine had the dubious honor of witnessing Daniel in action, trying to charm a nurse. Story Brooks was jilted by her fiance two weeks before the wedding. When Story's father and Daniel's mentor suffered a heart attack, Story found herself in New York, directly within Daniel's line of sight.
Well, they saw each other and bam, insta-lust. Yowza! Insta-lust, insta-love or anything insta usually annoys the crap out of me because it feels unrealistic most of time. And not to mention by the time you get to the middle of book, you're just bored to death with the two characters eye-f*cking each other, you just want to be put out of your misery.
Well, it's safe to say that this book has enough meat to the story to keep readers interested. The banter between the Daniel and Story were great and Daniel's fellow officers were hilarious. Think The Three Stooges except hotter and minus slapstick. But the crude humor and language are still there and did I say they're all hot?
And there is that twist at the end that I sort of guessed (yes, I am that smart!) but nonetheless, it was a wonderful and fun surprise. I just wasn't crazy about Story's reaction upon hearing that revelation but whatever, Daniel totally made this story worth it for me.
