MINE TO HOLD is a story about how complicated pasts can lead
to heartbreak. But for LAPD Detective Tyler Murphy, he isn't
willing to give up just yet.
Tyler had a best friend in Eric Catalano. In a tragic
accident, Eric became crippled and in the shock, Tyler and
Eric's wife, Delaney became a support system for each other.
When Eric initiates a night of sexual reverie for the three
of them, it ignites a passion within Tyler that confuses
him. He suddenly sees Delaney, his best friend and partner's
wife, as a beautiful, desirable woman. Unable to handle the
heat, Delany wishes for Tyler to go away so that she doesn't
have to deal with the emotions muddling her brain.
After two years, Delaney returns to Tyler, seeking help and
this is when Tyler learns that she is hiding a secret.
Typically, I'm not a fan of stories that have too much
back-story between the hero and heroine before the book
begins, but Shayla Black is able to evoke a lot of emotions
through her sex scenes that definitely make it more easier
to accept.
Through the series, Tyler had been the most easy-going of
the
group. However, in his book, we see another side of him that
is eye-opening about his character. Though he takes much
of what Delaney throws at him in stride, I was most
impressed by his possessiveness. Because of what he and
Delaney had been through together, his possessiveness
doesn't feel at all forced or fake. You can feel the genuine
concern for Delaney's well-being.
Black usually employs a suspense subplot that is one of the
reasons why I love this series so much. She doesn't add too
much suspense in this one, but the pacing is great
regardless.
MINE TO HOLD is a definite must-read for fans who enjoy
passion, suspense and
off-the-charts chemistry. For me, Shayla
Black is an auto-buy author.
Tyler Murphy was an LAPD
detective, single and happy—until a near-fatal tragedy
crippled his friend, fellow detective Eric Catalano. While
Tyler supported Eric, he also became a shoulder for Eric’s
wife, Delaney, to lean on. But with one naughty suggestion
from Eric, a drunken night with Delaney spilled into erotic
abandon. Before it was over, Tyler saw his best friend’s
wife as a woman and yearned for more. When Eric struggled to
deal with the aftermath, Delaney begged Tyler to leave.
Crushed, he fled to Louisiana, hoping to escape his longing
for the one woman he could never have again…and unaware of
what he’d left behind.
A lover’s desire.
After two years of living with regret, Tyler
finds Delaney on his doorstep, her husband having abandoned
her long ago. She’s protecting a shocking secret and
desperately needs refuge from a stalker determined to see
her dead. As they fight to stay alive and catch the killer,
they struggle to resolve the guilt of their past pleasures.
But they can’t deny that what was once a spark is now a
flame burning out of control. To possess Delaney—body and
soul—Tyler must heal her pain and thwart the evil that’s a
mere breath behind her…
