ABOUT THE BOOK

Loving the Texas NegotiatorTitle: Loving the Texas Negotiator
Series: Garrison’s Law, Book 3
Author: Mary Connealy
Release Date: August 27, 2018
Genre: Contemporary Romantic Suspense

Not all the Garrisons are guys.

Beth Garrison is the top hostage negotiator in Rocky Ridge, Texas. She’s called to serve on a task force to investigate a killing that is a copycat of her first bust as a rookie.

Tate McCade has a reputation for steamrolling anyone who gets in his way and he’s had a run-in with Beth and her oversized ego before. He’s got a bruise on his face to prove it.

They have to work together and sparks are flying that aren’t all about the job.

PURCHASE LINKS: Goodreads | Amazon

 


IN MY OPINION

This is a different kind of read for Mary Connealy fans, but not to worry, there’s still some of that signature Connealy humor (and plenty of tough cowboys).

Loving the Texas Negotiator sets up the action (and animosity between the hero and heroine) right away. The tension and passion Beth and Tate put into arguing and disliking each other translates into attraction as they spend time together on a task force to find a serial killer.

The police investigation was my favorite part of this book with all its twists and turns (and crimes) plus readers get to see Beth in action as a hostage negotiator a time or two.

Beth herself is a no-nonsense, take no prisoners type of character—one who tends to bulldoze her way in and through people, but this is explained throughout the course of the book. Of course, it’s going to take a strong man to turn her head and Tate is the perfect fit (if they don’t get killed or kill each other first).

This is a contemporary read (a deviation from Connealy’s beloved cowboy historicals) and sometimes the story leans a little too much toward mainstream contemporary with some fairly blatant sexual innuendo. Perhaps the book toes the line for some readers, but I appreciate that the author gave her characters real personalities with relevant temptations.
