Rating: 4 stars
Summary: My, my, my!
Review: It's a steamy tale, full of lust and intrigue. Not for the faint of heart!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Big Apple Bachelors Series
Review: Manhattan precinct captain Sullivan "Sully" Steele is considered a great cop renowned as the "great protector" by everyone who knows him except for one particular female. His two brothers and his father are also highly regarded police officers. However, a shadow has fallen on the Sullivans when their dad vanishes with several million dollars he apparently embezzled from a fund containing public donations to help cops.

Internal Affairs officer Judith Hunt believes Sully's dad is guilty and plans to prove it even if she has to rip Sully's image in the process. She admits to herself that she finds Sully quite attractive while he reciprocates her deep feelingsbut both hide it from the other. As Sully wants someone to love, he desperately tosses a bottle with a note inside into the Hudson. Judith finds the note and a mail box relationship starts with neither knowing the identity of the other. Even if they did and love blossoms into full bloom, nothing can come of this because his dad remains between them.

Though Sully's mom hiding her Lotto winnings just to get her sons married when her husband is in deep legal trouble seems strange to this reviewer, fans will enjoy this police procedural romance. The story line hooks the audience early on two levels. First readers feel the tension between the lead characters and second fans observe the investigation as it unfolds and causes havoc and misunderstanding between Judith and Sully. Jule McBride provides a strong tale entry that ties up the Sullivan threads yet entertainingly can stand-alone.
