4.0 out of 5 stars Good book
Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2019
Good book though not as intense as previous books until the end. The book opened with some excitement as Dugan discovered a woman in labor as he was leaving Malone's. The woman is wary but accepts his help when he produces his police credentials. But Dugan doesn't get to stick around as he's called away to a murder scene just as the ambulance arrives. Later, he's dismayed to find out that she gave him a fake name, so he has no way to follow up on her and the baby. Two months later, Dugan is stunned to find the woman in the Chief of D's office. It turns out that Toni is an investigative reporter who is doing a story on the same drug cartel that Dugan is working to shut down. Toni has information that is useful to Dugan's investigation, and Dugan is ordered to make Toni part of his team.

Sparks flew between Dugan and Toni from the beginning. There is no doubt about the attraction, but Dugan also has to reconcile his protectiveness toward Toni with her work as an investigative reporter. Toni is fiercely independent and doesn't take well to Dugan's restrictions. He's furious when she puts herself into danger to draw out a cartel member, but she is determined. I liked seeing how their relationship developed as they worked together. Dugan is a nice guy with a good heart and love of family. I loved watching him fall just as hard for baby Heather as he did for Toni. There are some really sweet scenes with him and the baby. Toni is a bit wary, as Dugan is nothing like any man she has ever known. It was fun to see her surprise at how comfortable he is with Heather. There is the usual invitation to one of Andrew's family parties. It was a nice change to have one where the non-Cavanaugh person doesn't have to be dragged kicking and screaming, though Toni was a bit cautious at the beginning. I liked that their growing attraction and feelings took place over a realistic amount of time. Both were hesitant to vocalize their feelings, and it took a little outside encouragement to get them past that hurdle. I loved Dugan's big moment at the end. There is just enough awkwardness and vulnerability to emphasize how important she is to him.

The suspense of the story was good. Going after the drug cartel isn't a quick process, and we get a good look at the day-to-day slog of following leads. The investigation is somewhat personal for Toni and is the motivating factor for some of the risks she takes. The intensity starts to pick up when Toni uses herself to draw out a cartel member and gets caught in the middle of a shootout. This puts a target on her back. The final confrontation was a nail-biter as Toni found herself at the mercy of a killer. I loved her "mama bear" reaction and Dugan's timely arrival.

3.0 out of 5 stars fast-paced but some misplaced sexism
Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2018
"Cavanaugh's Secret Delivery" begins with Detective Dugan Cavanaugh leaving a bar (not drunk) and stumbling upon a woman giving birth in a car with a gun next to her. He helps her through the delivery and then, when the ambulance comes, he is called out to a murder of his confidential informant and must leave. With only her name, Scarlet, which he learns is a fake, he is afraid he will never see her or the baby he delivered again.

However, at work 8 weeks later, he finds that he has a new assignment- to allow a reporter, Toni O'Keefe work with him on the drug ring he is trying to take down. Shockingly, Toni is Scarlet- the woman he never thought he would see again. As he allows her to go with him on the case, constantly worrying about her and her baby, feelings begin to develop between the two of them.

Overall, it was well written and the story flowed well. The suspense of having the drug lords after Tori was intense and gave the book some extra oomph. However, there's a lot of sexism and misogyny that I personally found gave the book some unnecessary irritations. For instance, all anyone wants to know about her is her attractiveness after Cavanaugh starts working with her- and people are constantly talking about what she should do as a mother (would they do the same for a father?). Additionally, at a family gathering, it's only the women who are taking care of baby Heather (but there are also loads of men there so the distinction seemed unnecessary). While these might be minor points to some people, for me, it made the overall tone much less pleasant, particularly with regards to the relationship.

On the other hand, it is fast-paced, flows well, and has some elements of thriller/suspense. The romantic scenes are few and spaced far apart to make way for the main plot and nothing happens until a fade-to-curtain type scene about 80% of the way through. There's good resolution at the end plus some highly intense scenes. I think it's a solid book, but I wish we could have done without the sexism.

Please note that I received an ARC from the publisher through netgalley. All opinions are my own.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not my fav from this series
Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2018
3 1/2 STARS!

Unexpected delivery! With a dip into the Top Secret Deliveries series, we get to go along for the ride of yet another sexy Cavanaugh cop as he tries to rid the streets of the bad guys. The story started off exciting, and the characters were an interesting pair, but sadly this was not a favorite for me by this author. I'm sure we'll see another great one next time, but this one fell flat for me with too little plot development.

Detective Dugan Cavanaugh is more than happy to assist when he finds a woman about to give birth on the side of the parking lot with no assistance. He manages to calm her down and delivery her baby before getting them on their way to the hospital with a promise of stopping in to check on them.

Investigative reporter Toni O'Keefe didn't exactly plan this crazy birth going the way it did, but she's super thankful for Dugan's help. When they finally get a chance to connect again, it's beneficial because she just so happens to have a lot of info on the drug cartel he's trying to bust. Will he be able to use the info she can give him and still keep her and her little family safe?
