Cooper by Riley Edwards

 

Cooper by Riley Edwards is now live!

Cooper Cain left California and quit the job he loved after a hostage situation went bad. Years later he can still hear the screams of the woman he couldn't save from the stalker that had terrorized her. He hides his pain and failure behind a wall of humor, determined not to let his past ruin his future. Until Kira Winters walks into his life. Fun, flirty, up-for-anything, beautiful Kira who's resolute to live life on her terms even though she's in danger.

Kira Winters is a woman who knows what she wants. After spending ten years working for an off-the-books team, she no longer hides in the shadows. Her mission with Patheon is complete and she's determined to live, to experience everything, to take life and make it her bit*h. She'll accept nothing less. When she sets her sights on the former SWAT officer, Cooper Cain she's all-in and will stop at nothing to win him over and keep him. But when the team discovers she has a stalker, Coop demands that she do the one thing she cannot—hide.

Cooper's past eerily mirrors his present. Can he fight his way out of the darkness that threatens to pull him under to keep the woman he loves? Or will he give her up to protect his heart?

My rating: 5 out of 5 stars

My review:

Cooper is the fifth book in the Blue Team series by Riley Edwards.  This was a new author for me, and I have been looking forward to reading one of her books.  I didn’t have too much trouble reading it as a standalone.  But after reading it, I am curious about the previous books and now want to read them.

Kira Winters spent years in solitude working by herself, but she has now joined the Blue Team.  She loves her job but holds herself back to protect her heart after tragically losing all her family. 

Cooper joined the Blue Team after a tragic hostage situation as a police officer.  He still feels a lot of guilt, but Kira has brightened his life.  Discovering she has a stalker brings back all the painful memories.  He will stop at nothing to save her.

This was a great book, and I loved all the intrigue and action.  My attention was grabbed right away, and I couldn’t put the book down. I loved meeting all the side characters and seeing the dynamics of the team.  Their bond was truly strong, and they had formed their own family.  I loved seeing Kira’s character grow and begin to understand her team was there for her and that they had made her one of their family members.  I recommend this book and look forward to future books from the author.

I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
