Terrific combination of romance and suspense. Anna is the youngest of the six Hudson siblings and a private investigator like the others. She occasionally helps with the family's cold case investigations but primarily works for another firm. As the book opens, she is injured during one of her investigations caught in a deliberately set fire.
The arson investigator assigned to the case is Hawk Steele, the man she had a one-night stand with a few months earlier. She has been putting off telling him that she is pregnant, but the cat is now out of the bag. Hawk, a loner by choice, is stunned but determined to be a father to his child.
Neither has forgotten the night they spent together. Hawk wants marriage, but Anna will only marry for love. With Anna in danger, Hawk's protective instincts are aroused, and he is determined to keep her safe. As they investigate the fire and subsequent attacks on Anna, the feelings between them strengthen.
I enjoyed watching loner Hawk deal with the Hudson family, their closeness, and their involvement in each other's lives. The scene with Mary and the puppy was hilarious.
The suspense of the story was fantastic. I was glued to the pages as the attacks on Anna intensified, and the entire family and Hawk searched past cases to see who might be behind the attacks. The twists and turns were incredible. The final confrontation was a nail-biter and had me on the edge of my seat until it was over. I especially enjoyed Anna's part.
I look forward to reading the rest of the series. I'd like to know if they find out what happened to their parents.
