This was a great one; sweet in a romantic way, and steamy hot, hot, hot. Best friends/little sisters is one of my favorite tropes. Shiloh Walker is fantastic when it comes to seduction with a touch of dark. I always like the style of Shiloh Walker's narrative she writes engaging characters and panty dropping Alpha's and always an engaging story with a hint of dark. I can only imagine how this story went before the rewrites.
Alison Ryan never really thought about what she was missing in her life until it flashed before her eyes, when a druggie tried to mug her. She was saved by her brother's best friend Detective Alex O'Malley. Alex always knew is best friends little sister had a crush on him but when he saw her being threatened by a druggie with a knife his perception of her changed, almost as if he was really seeing her for the first time. Alison was raised by a cop and raised to never cry but Alex knew that what she needed and that his shoulder was the one she would cry one. After having the scare of her life Alison fell asleep in Alex's arms when she woke up he was still asleep but playing with her. The only thing she ever wanted was for Alex to make love to her so she took the chance and didn't wake him. He he finally did wake up he couldn't, didn't want to stop. After he felt guilty and blamed himself for what happened. It was almost too much for her to bear; she was just as much to blame than Alex but it hurt her deep inside to have him apologize for what happened. The final straw was when Alison's co workers once again tried to take advantage of her good nature, that is when it hits her that she needed a change and with the help of a good friend that exactly what she does.
A makeover, finishing school, getting her RN license, ten days in Ireland, a lover, and a couple months away from Alex was all Alison needed. She flourished, she blossomed into the beautiful woman that was hiding underneath her own insecurities. Alex hasn't been able to shake this new feeling he has in regards to Alison, he can't stop thinking about her when he is awake and he dreams about her at night. When he finally sees her he doesn't recognize her, and when he realizes it's her he can't stop himself from loving her. Alex's sexual appetite leans heavily on the dominant side and is at first hesitant that it might scare Alison away, until she admits to him she has always wanted him in that way and that she isn't scared by it but turned on. Alex isn't going to have an easy time because convincing Alison he loves her for her isn't enough he has to convince his best friend/ her brother.
Overall, ooohh this book is good. It's hot, almost guaranteed to make you horny.
