trust; firm belief in the reliability, truth, ability, or strength of someone or something.

LAPD Detective Reid Cunningham is content to keep the pain of losing his best friend buried deep. Dedicated to his job, he doesn’t have time to feel.

Much less love.

But when the past comes knocking at his door, he has no choice but to face his deepest and darkest fear.

Cassidy Sky, his best friend’s little sister, needs his help. Reid promised to watch over her and keep her safe, but he never planned on giving her his heart.

Or his trust.

The Detective's Trust is written from dual POV, with an HEA and no cheating.

Review | 4 Stars

I love this series. I really enjoyed the characters and the plot. The characters were refreshing and just enjoyable to read about. I really enjoyed the suspense of the book too. Wondering what was going to happen. It definitely kept my attention.

I loved how protective read was. I also liked that he was conflicted about his feelings too for his best friends little sister. But I enjoyed the way things turned out.

I loved how Cassidy was in love with her brothers best friend. Who doesn't love Book like that? I loved that she new what she wanted, but Reid was being the difficult one.

I am wondering about her best friend. Is she getting a book?

Overall, this was a great suspense novella. I thought it was the perfect length and had just the right amount of romance and suspense. Can't wait for the next book.

******

I have not read a book by K. Langston before but for the most part I did enjoy this book. I have read all of KC’s books and have really enjoyed most of hers.

Unlawful Justice does have some content that might not be suitable for some people. But as for me there was a certain scene that I did not really like. But for the book I think it’s that particular scene sets the book up.

I did like the characters. But I didn’t love them but I also didn’t hate them either. Something was just missing for me to love the characters.

I’m not really going to go into the details about what the book is about because that would pretty much give it all away. I think it’s better to go in blind.

Overall, I did like the book and the characters. I just didn’t love it or the characters. But as I said I also didn’t hate it either. If these two authors were to write another book together I would read it. I think that this book does go a good job about letting people know about the real life issue we face today. I like that about this book. Everything is so real. And the authors, to me, were spot on about everything.

Excerpt

His gaze softens as he cups the side of my neck. “Jesus, you should never feel insecure. You’re fucking beautiful, Liv, bruises or not. Nothing in the world could ever change that.”

I watch him carefully, his sincerity tearing through my defenses. “You really mean that, don’t you?”

He rears back, the skin between his brows bunching together in deep valleys of confusion. “Of course I do. How could you not know that?”

I shrug. “I don’t know. I guess it’s…” I pause for a moment before deciding to bare it all. “It’s hard for me to believe you still think I’m beautiful despite finding me the way you did.”

Understanding dawns and he quickly shakes his head. “No, not ever. That didn’t change the way I look at you. Yes, it fucking gutted me to see you that way, but not once did I think any less of you.” He pulls me closer while his determined gaze bores into mine. His jaw flexes, the rhythm of his chest growing heavier. “It should have never happened. Nothing so hateful should have ever touched something so beautiful. But make no mistake, Liv, when I look at you, I don’t see the girl I found that day, I see the girl who survived it all. You’re fucking beautiful, inside and out, nothing or no one will ever change that.”

My breath hitches as tears blur my eyes, his words healing my wounded soul. “You make me feel beautiful,” I choke out softly.

“Good, baby, because you are, every inch of you, and don’t ever fucking forget it.” He closes the small space between our mouths, his lips claiming mine in a heated caress as his tongue sweeps in.

Excerpt

Mile after mile took us closer to reality. Closer to the time when I would have to drop her off and go back home. Alone. And why the hell did that bother me? I’ve never had a problem being alone. Being alone meant I didn’t have to share my past. Being alone meant I didn’t have to see the pain and disappointment in her eyes when she found out I was nothing but a broken man with a selfish heart that could never love her the way she deserved to be loved.

But now, it’s like everything had changed. The last several hours had been… amazing. I would never use the word on the regular, but it was the only way to describe it. Despite the reasons we spent the day together, it was incredible. Realization slammed into the thick wall surrounding my heart.

Cora meant something to me.

That was a scary fucking thing.

"Cannon, look out!" The moment the words shredded her throat, I saw the small white ball of fur and jerked the wheel in the opposite direction. My heart froze in my chest, forgetting that it needed to beat in order for me to regain control of the truck. Aiming for the median, I slammed on the brakes, and as soon as the tires met dirt, we skidded to a breath robbing stop.

"Fuck!" Fear and adrenaline pumped mercilessly through my veins. Leaning over, I assessed Cora. Thank God, she had her seatbelt on. "You ok?" I pushed her hair from her face.

Nodding, she sucked back a deep breath. "I’m fine. Are you ok?"

"I’m good. What the fuck, Cora? You can’t scream like that while I’m rolling eighty miles an hour down the damn interstate!" I shouted.

Cora flinched and I immediately wished I had bit my tongue. She looked downright distraught. "The puppy."

She unfastened her seatbelt and barreled out of the truck just as an 18 wheeler flew by. "Goddamn it, Cora. What the hell are you doing?"

"We can’t just leave it out here. The poor baby will get hit."

"Get in the truck now before you get hit." I ordered as she walked onto the shoulder of the highway.

"Not until we find him."

Fuck me.

Fuck me. Fuck her. Fuck the damn dog that nearly killed us.

Another 18 wheeler flew by, whipping golden locks of hair all around her face. She stumbled two steps backward. "Get your ass in the truck and I’ll find the damn dog."

Spinning in place, I spotted the little shit cowering near the guard rail. The damn thing couldn’t be no more than a few months old. "Shhh…it’s ok." I soothed as I gathered the frightened little mutt in my arms. Quickly checking, I discovered she was female.

Figures.

All white with a patch of dark grey on her chest. "It’s ok, girl." She shivered in my arms.

"Oh my God," Cora said, stroking the dirt streaked coat.

"I thought I told you to get in the truck,"

Completely ignoring me, she gently took the puppy from my arms. "I can’t believe someone left you out here all alone. Poor thing. I’ll take care of you sweet baby. It’ll be ok." Cora cooed and my heart did some kind of flip flop bullshit in my chest. I found it difficult to breathe. Impossible to think. What the hell was she doing to me?

Back on the road, ten miles from home, she finally put it all into perspective. "My mom won’t let me keep her, Cannon. She never let us have pets growing up." Cora’s voice was so sad and barely came in a whisper. "Can Hope stay with you until I figure out something else?"

"Hope? You already named her?"

"Yeah, she has a heart shaped patch on her chest. She’s definitely a sign of hope."

"She could have killed us."

"But what if she saves us?"

Six words, one by one branded themselves on my heart, bringing it back to life. One word stood out among the rest.

If.

If only she were right.

One can only hope.
