Crime and Passion (Cavanaugh Justice Book 2) Kindle Edition

4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars 116 ratings

From a USA Today–bestselling author, a whistleblower goes under the protection of her former lover, and the father of her secret child.

No sooner did number-crunching dynamo Ilene O’Hara uncover fraud in her company than she needed protection for herself and the son she’d been hiding from detective Clay Cavanaugh, a man she still loved. When Clay appeared as their protector, she wondered if the truth would destroy their fiery connection—or bind them forever? Clay had the reputation of being a ruthless law enforcer—and a Casanova. After Ilene, he ensured that love never entered the equation again. Buy now, years later, she needed his help. As the forbidden attraction between witness and protector raged out of control, Clay could tell she was keeping a secret from him. But would it stop him from taking the ultimate risk?

Secrets, threats, action, and suspense are in th I s book that keeps you reading. You also get passion and truth. She goes to the DA with proof of theft, someone's after her and her son. Cavanaugh will protect them. More surprises to come.

Enjoyed this and all Cavanaugh Justice books

Rating 2.5 __Contains sexual content (none graphic).
Stand alone read. 2nd in Cavanaugh Justice series.

EASY READ. Contemporary crime story, likable characters, strong family theme, great secondary cast, and menacing villain(s). HOWEVER, the story just drags in places and the painful past shared by the hero and heroine overwhelms the current romance. They move from unresolved angst to hot, sneaky sex while hiding out in the home of the hero's father. This isn't romantic. It's just awkward. These flaws detract from the storyline.

THE STORY reunites Ilene O'Hara and the love-of-her-life, "commit-na-phobic" Clay Cavanaugh. As the story unfolds, Ilene, brings evidence of corporate fraud to the DA, who requests protection for Ilene and her five-year old son, Alex. However, when Police Detective Clay Cavanaugh shows up, she refuses his protection afraid he will figure out Alex is his son. When a dark figure tapes a threatening message to her dinning room window, she realizes they are in danger and calls Clay for help. He immediately moves both Ilene and her son to his father's house where they can remain hidden from the vicious thug(s) hired to eliminate the only witness, Ilene (bpl).

OVERALL, interesting storyline with strong characters. But, nothing special. CAVANAUGH JUSTICE series currently includes 29 books.

You may also enjoy the complex characters and storytelling of N. Bruhns, A. Stuart, and E. Palfrey. For good mystery/detective writers you might try J. D. Robb, D. Stabenow, S. Grafton, S. Sala, Gayle Wilson, and Julie Miller.

The Whistleblower

No sooner did number-crunching dynamo Ilene O'Hara uncover fraud in her company than she needed protection for herself and the son she'd been hiding from detective Clay Cavanaugh, a man she still loved. When Clay appeared as their protector, she wondered if the truth would destroy their fiery connection - or bind them forever?

Clay had the reputation of being a ruthless law enforcer- and a Casanova. After Ilene, he ensured that love never entered the equation again. But now, years later, she needed his help. As the forbidden attraction between witness and protector raged out of control, Clay could tell she was keeping a secret from him. But would it stop him from taking the ultimate risk?

When the law and passion collide, this family learns the ultimate truth, that love takes no prisoners!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 15, 2014
I am enjoying these books on the Cavanaugh family, I have read quite a few of them now but I must of missed these books because I have not read about the first Cavanaugh children. But I would recommend it to anyone who likes to read about the Cavanaugh family. Can't wait for the next book to read.
