Product Description
Hero pilot Cole Langston is learning to live with — and enjoy — his newfound fame and the rabid female attention that comes with it until a lucky punch knocks some sense into him and opens his eyes to true love.
When his copilot suffers a heart attack in flight, Cole lands the jetliner in a blizzard and revives the stricken captain. Catapulted to national hero status, Cole has more women vying for his attention than he knows what to do with. They all have one thing in common: they try without success to bring this happy-go-lucky pilot down to earth. Then comes an airport altercation, a punch to the face, and the lovely Olivia—a shy, timid artist who does what no other woman has ever managed to do: steal Cole's well-protected heart. With women coming on to him everywhere they go, Olivia struggles to believe that Cole is ready for a committed relationship. His biggest problem is getting rid of all his extra ladies before the only one he wants figures out that she's one of many.

ISBN-13: 978-1420103410
My Review:
I recommend reading the first book in the series "Unseen" so you will know who some of the characters are!
Storyline: At the beginning of the book there is a murder which left a young man stabbed to death and his pregnant girlfriend alive but hurt!
Characters: I admire Claire not to let anyone push her around (she did take alot of verbal abuse from her fellow workers) and to do her job. I also like Langdon and I understand why he's so angry about his sister's death and why he blames the hospital and Claire!
Romance: I really enjoyed the romance between Claire and Langdon because they are both attracted to each other but fighting it. They both think it's wrong because he blames her for the death of his sister. When they finally stop fighting it and get it on wow it's very hot indeed!
Killer: Both killers are quite insane and not quite there! One of them will only hurt who they though were responsible while the other doesn't care and have no remorse!
4/5

Ginger @ GReads
Hi, my name is Ginger and I run the book blog GReads! It's hard to believe I started it only a few short months ago. But it's been an amazing few months getting it going, sharing my book reviews, and meeting some awesome fellow book bloggers! The reason for starting GReads is because I wanted an outlet to discuss all things bookish. I am 29 years old and an avid reader of YA fiction. I enjoy all genres: paranormal, dystopian, and contemporary romance to name a few. I have a few friends who enjoy reading as much as me, and even fewer who admit to reading YA! So I figured this blog would be a good opportunity to seek out others who enjoy reading the same stuff as me, regardless of their age!
My favorite thing in the world right now is when you pick up a book, & find yourself lost in the pages for hours. When an author puts down words on paper that transfixes you to another world, you know you're in for something great ahead! Reading is my escape from the every day responsibilities of getting up to go to work, making money to pay the bills, and coming home only to have to turn around & do it again. When I have a great book to read in between the every day moments, it just adds that extra kick to my day!
How long have you been book blogging??
I've been blogging for 2 yrs. and 3 months on Blogger but I'm been blogging about 5 - 6 yrs. on my other journals.

TRACING KILLERS IS MIA VOSS'S BUSINESS. AND HER WORK JUST GOT PERSONAL.
At first, Mia Voss thinks it's just bad luck when her already lousy day ends with a carjacking, but what seems like a random incident is followed by another sinister episode. A DNA expert, Mia has made it her mission to put away vicious criminals. Suddenly, she's become the target of one. And the only way to protect the people she loves most is to deliberately destroy her reputation and risk letting a killer walk free.
Once, Mia trusted Detective Ric Santos, but that was before Ric let his turbulent past ruin his chances with Mia, the sexiest, most intriguing woman he's ever met. But he can tell when she's lying — and when she's scared. The key to catching a sadistic madman lies within a long-buried cold case that has haunted Mia for years. Only she can uncover the truth, but first, Ric will have to get her to entrust him with her secrets . . and her life.
