Author: Freya Barker
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: March 10, 2020
Hosted by: Buoni Amici Press, LLC.
For long-time Durango Fire Department EMT, Ava ‘Blue’ Navarro, her teammates at Station 3 represent a family more loyal than her own.
However, when patients start dying on her watch, she draws the attention of local law enforcement. In particular the smooth-talking detective she’s successfully evaded for years, fearing he might stir up her quiet existence.
Detective Tony Ramirez considers himself a likable guy, which is why the perpetual cold shoulder from the athletic blonde first responder is confusing.
Now he finds himself in charge of a murder investigation that threatens to shake his world both personally and professionally. A situation that won’t earn him any brownie points.
When medical examiner, Calder Stonewall, is called in to assist, it only seems to throw more suspicion Blue’s way, and Tony has to pull out all the stops to prove her innocence while securing her heart.

“I really hate this,” she says when I lift my head.
“I must be losing my touch, then,” I joke, and she slaps my chest.
“Not that, you idiot. I hate being weak.”
“Now who’s being an idiot?” I lightly shake her. “If you sprained your ankle, would you think it weak to see a doctor? Do you think the people you tend to on a daily basis are weak?” When she reluctantly shakes her head, I push my point home. “So how’s this any different? We’re just talking about another part of you that needs some healing. Shit, if you think that makes you weak, you’re calling every cop in Durango a pussy. Wait ‘til I tell the guys.”
“You wouldn’t,” she snaps, her eyes spitting fire.
“If you keep spouting that nonsense, I might.”

I just new Tony and Blue's story would be a great one.
Detective Tony Ramirez has been with us for most of the series and I was just waiting for him to get his story. Sure he came across as a hot playboy but aren't they all playboys until they find the right woman. We had seen Tony's loyalty but not the full sweet caring side of him until now. The close bond he shares with his family only makes him that much more lovable. When he decided that he is going to do everything in his power to protect Ava, there is not deterring him.
Ava "Blue" Navarro has found herself a family of people she can count on with her crew at the fire department. But other than that she keeps pretty much to herself. Keeping people at arms length has been her safety net. Giving her spare time to the lonely animals at the shelter. Knowing that she really can't have one of her own right now. When deaths start happening and she starts second guessing her skills, she finds herself letting Tony push his way in.
As the story unfolds and these characters open up to one another, we discover that there is so much more than we see on the surface. The past has shaped who they have become, but will they let the past shape their entire future?
Ms Barker will have you hook line and sinker with her reeling suspense and the growing relationship between these amazing characters we have gotten to love from the other books in this series. For those wanting to try a book before giving the whole series a go, that is ok as well as each book is written as a standalone, so go ahead and jump in.
