Calling on Quinn

by Blue Saffire

Overview

From the author of Brothers Black comes a sexy interracial romance that is "unputdownable" and has enough heat "to have readers hooked." —Publishers Weekly

Keeping her safe means keeping her close...

I'm a private investigator, part of a big Irish family, and a no-nonsense kind of guy who knows what I want. And what I want more than anything is Alicia Rhodes. Beautiful, Black, opinionated, and self-assured Alicia Rhodes, the woman I can't stop thinking about. But I'm also on a dangerous case and leaving her exposed is the last thing I want to do.

The solution is easy. Stick to Alicia like glue and make it clear that I'm not letting her out of my sight. She doesn't need me following her around, but I can't help it. And when trouble comes knocking, I need to convince Alicia that it's okay to ask for help, because I will always protect my own.

"Full of raw emotion and heat, Blue Saffire's stories will rip your heart out."—Jeannie Moon, USA Today bestselling author

Saffire (Doctor Feel Good) opens her Blackhart Brothers’ series with this unputdownable interracial romance. The four close-knit, Irish Blackhart brothers run a private investigation and security firm. After their sister, Erin, and her husband, Cal, are the targets of a shooting, the brothers set out to find the culprit. Eldest brother Quinn’s investigation leads him to Alicia Rhodes, his niece’s African-American driving instructor, and his instant attraction to her threatens to distract him entirely from his mission. Alicia is still recovering from an emotionally abusive relationship, and despite Quinn’s good looks and swoon-worthy accent, she’s determined to resist his charm, even as Quinn desperately tries to woo her. When Alicia’s friendship with Erin puts Alicia in danger, the Blackhart brothers must band together to protect both women against the mysterious criminals still pursuing Erin. Quinn and Alicia’s cultural differences are just as well rendered as their sizzling chemistry, and Quinn’s feisty family and Alicia’s loyal roommates add depth and charm. A cliff-hanger ending, thrilling action, and plenty of heat are sure to have readers hooked. Agent: Jill Marsal, Marsal Lyon Literary. (Mar.)

A year has passed since Alicia Rhodes's bad breakup, and she still feels unsure about romance. But when she meets the uncle of one of her students, she finds herself reconsidering. PI Quinn Blackhart likes to be in control and fiercely protects his loved ones. After a case threatens his family, he has to find a way to keep everyone safe, including Alicia. From the author of the "Brothers Black" series, this first in a new series seems to swing between contemporary romance and romantic suspense with tonal shifts between very serious and lighthearted. Quinn is almost instantly possessive of Alicia after their first meeting, and there are moments where Alicia seems to push back against his lack of respect for her boundaries. Yet her attraction to him manages to outweigh very valid concerns about his behavior. VERDICT Fans of romances featuring possessive alpha heroes may be the right audience for this one.—Amanda Turk, Corvallis-Benton Cty. P.L., OR
