Cass found her boyfriend cheating on her so is determined to find someone different to sleep with. She wants a 'bad boy' to counteract the vanilla, good girl image her ex portrayed her as being. Mind you, when she wakes up in his bed the next day then goes to search for him the innuendos, misunderstandings and dialogue are hilarious! From there, things just keep on getting more complicated, suspense filled and totally engaging. I thoroughly enjoyed escaping into this story. The character development is great, the plot has plenty of twists and turns and the resolution brings it all to a well deserved conclusion but only after high drama and action packed encounters!

I have no hesitation in highly recommending this to anyone who enjoys suspense filled thrillers which are also packed romantic comedy. I requested and was given a copy of this book via NetGalley and this is my honest opinion after choosing to read it. Jul 13, Ayekah rated it it was amazing. Hang onto your seat reading this one. It's everything it promises and more.

Lies, betrayal, suspense, revenge and a good amount of steam thrown in. He told her she was boring. She's out to prove him wrong. There she meets Luke, nicely dressed who represents everything she hates, because she just walked out on the nicely dressed guy She wants some hot, tatted, bike riding bad boy. Really unsure what she'll do when she gets him, but hey, she's out there. She gets pretty drunk and finally talks to Luke a little.

Luke has the bartender call a cab to get her home and when she passes out, he takes her home to his place. Waking up in the morning she remembers what happened and then hears three women upstairs giggling talking about squeezing those balls and giving Luke what he needs and wow is she mad. She's already made it clear that she hates liars. She tries to sneak out, calls an Uber and realizes that she was supposed to keep an eye on a student today, one she fears is headed down the wrong path.

She heads home to change into winter clothes and then to the park. Watching from behind the trees, she's watching the 4 boys. Also watching these 4 are Luke and his team he works with from the DEA. Cass doesn't know what Luke does for a living. At one point they have to intercept her and a couple of them grill her about her student and what she knows, and they are abrupt about it. After book one, you'll know that Luke now has a bulls eye on his back by a drug kingpin they are trying to bring down for reasons you can read in the book. Back to the basement scene when she wakes up and dashes upstairs she's met with the looks from 3 older women who are there fixing him breakfast.

Luke is living with Maybell and they too have a connection. Because of the threat on Luke's life when the guys are doing anything, their COM is always on, even when he's with Cass, which leads to some pretty embarrassing things said in his ear by his teammates and Cass is clueless he's got that earpiece in. Cass is a high school guidance counselor and tries her best to help these kids who wouldn't otherwise have a chance. Her school seems to be almost under siege with drug deaths and some gang related activity and kids are dying.

Same case that Luke is working on. Things heat up finally with them about the last third of the book, not overdone either and inconvenient for him, she finds out he's been lying to her when she sees him doing his thing as an undercover agent. Holy Wow is she pissed and we know she hates liars. He comes to see her to ask why she was there, and she gives him hell and the whole thing spirals out of control. She throws Luke out. A few minutes later she's abducted. Which sets off a whole new direction for the story.

We know things are about to get intense and interesting, we just don't know how much and how deeply. I can't believe this is only the authors second book. Amazing and intense and what a great story!! Cass and Luke have this intense connection yet they're focus lies elsewhere and their attempts at anything more than a kiss always seems to be thwarted by someone, made for some grins. I loved Maybell and her two friends. The banter between the guys was hysterical, and they each have their own story to tell.

I anxiously await Tyke's book. Christina Elle is a new to me author. In Walked Trouble is the second book in her Under Covers series and is a standalone read. This book has captured my attention and has made me a huge fan.

It opens with a funny meet cute of the lead characters, Luke Calder and Cassandra Stone. Luke Calde Christina Elle is a new to me author. For Luke, finding drug lord Jose Serrano is extremely important and goes far beyond just this case. Carver High School, a school full of underprivileged students with an extremely low graduation rate.

He has to get close to Cass to find out what she knows about the drugs and how the kids are getting them. However, this new assignment is about to get messy very quickly. Real feelings get involved and Cass refuses to sit on the sideline and allow Miguel to become just another statistic. Cassandra Elle has woven together a wonderful romantic suspense that captures your attention from page one and takes you on an incredible ride.

Cass is so easy to like. Her heart guides her and yes, it gets her into trouble, but you have to admire her passion and determination.

The bromance between Luke and his teammates is really something to behold. There were moments that left me breathless, as well as on the verge of tears. I now have to go back and read the first book in this series and sit on pins and needles, waiting for the next book to come out. From that point on I was hooked on her characters and the storyline. Cassandra has just the right mix of vulnerable, sweet, full of heart, and tough, I'm not taking any more crap from lying men! Likewise, Luke is all tall, sexy swagger, gorgeous with alluring blue eyes, all the right lines, and clearly a player.

Yet, he's a hero and not just as a DEA agent, but also in how he rescues Cassandra and never once takes advantage of her. Even when she pretty much begs him too. He too has a big heart. He just needed to find the right woman to trust it with. Loveable characters, and not just Luke and Cassandra.

Tyke definitely deserves honorable mention, as do Maybell and her two friends. Laughs for sure, but danger, suspense, and bad guys. This is my first book from Christina Elle, but the second in her Under Covers series. I'm absolutely going to go back to read that one too. All opinions expressed in this review are my own. Aug 17, Pelusa Rivera rated it really liked it. Received an ARC for my fair review for netgalley. I enjoyed book, and from what I gather I am assuming that this was second book in series, so I will look into that, not that it was missing anything, but just because I disliked missing anything.

He originally came off as someone who was self assured, but as we continue to read, we see that he is really not, he went thru so much growing up, and he wants someone to love him, since he is so alone, god that part just broke my heart. T Received an ARC for my fair review for netgalley. Then we have Cassie, who after seven years discovers that her fiance is a cheating jerk, and she wants revenge and that is how she meets Luke, that part in the bar was funny, actually a lot of the dialogue was funny. I am so happy those two got to meet and were able to be there for each other, I can't wait for the next book.

Jul 29, Bette Hansen rated it it was amazing. Just the right mix of romance, steam, and suspense. With great characters and an intriguing storyline this was a very satisfying read. Luke Calder is a DEA agent with a target on his back. The last thing he should be doing is getting involved with a woman but when Cassandra Stone walks through the bar door he is immediately drawn in. Cassandra fresh out of a relationship where she was told she was unadventurous is on the lookout for a bad bad to prove she has what it takes.

Luke doesn't fit the bill but he's fun. The next day back at work Cassandra is caught up in a DEA surveillance of a drug deal. Luke can't figure out why she's there or how's she's involved but he's determined to find out. That's how their relationship starts and it only gets wilder from there! Definitely a book I recommend. It's a fast paced read and one you don't want to miss. Aug 02, Sage Knightly rated it really liked it. In Walked Trouble is passion, heartache, and strength at its finest.

Fired up with danger, secrets, and a romance that burns like the sun on the hottest day, this is a perfect combination of action and lust that keeps you flipping pages until you no longer can. And even then you burn for more; more of the hilarious bantering characters, the flames that threaten to burn the pages with their passion, and the thrilling danger of fighting bad guys.

Unable to put it down, I devoured this addicting ta In Walked Trouble is passion, heartache, and strength at its finest. Unable to put it down, I devoured this addicting tale in a single sitting! This was such a fun, quick read because of the narration and what the author presents to us. Cassandra and Luke alternate between POVs and it makes reading this tale so much more engrossing as we feel from both sides instead of merely one. We get the bantering, the actions, the emotions, and we get the connection. Seeing so deeply into both of them allowed us to get to know secondary characters Ash, Sam, Reese, Tyke and the danger Luke is hiding from.

This makes a perfect balance of telling readers what we need to know without dumping everything all at once. And it makes it so much easier to be invested in the tale when we uncover little parts at a time, like pieces to a puzzle. Not to mention, the characters weren't dull or similar to each other. All had unique voices, loud personalities and they all played a role in the novel, making each feel important and needed instead of merely there. Yes we don't see a whole lot of the secondary characters, not like the depth of what we see from Luke and Cassandra, but they still easily have their own personalities that flow off the page and make reading more fun.

We, as humans, tend to like getting to know new people.

In Walked Trouble Quotes

This book gives us that without piling information on us, making characters seem like twins, and showing us the dynamics between them all. This book is about Cassandra and Luke, but it's also about family, and Luke's team is the family he can't live without, no matter how odd they may seem together. Full of strength and unwavering loyalty, readers will not want to step away from this world where so much is treasured. What I adored most of all however, is Luke. He is so caring, and he treats Cassandra so well. He gave her confidence, let her speak her mind and not once did he put her down for it.

He was angry that her ex ever let her feel so uncomfortable in her own skin, making her feel like she can't talk about anything that matters to her. Luke understood her desires, her passions, and he encouraged her. He let her speak, he wanted her too. And he respected her choices. Honestly, he's pretty close to perfect. If I ever have a man, I want him to treat me like Luke does Cassandra. Overall, this is a lovely book that will make you feel so much and in so many ways.

The loyalty, family, and passion that infuses each chapter will keep you wanting more. I recommend giving it a try.

See a Problem?

Luke is at a bar one evening when Cass walks in looking for a bad boy. He's too pretty and clean cut for what she wants, but they start talking anyway and Luke is amused by her, but not particularly interested. Surprisingly, he then sees her at a drug buy that he's surveilling as part of his job as an undercover DEA agent. Luke doesn't know her role and she doesn't understand what he's doing there. Such begins one of the most unusual romances ever, as, instead of answering her questions, he asks her out. This is a quickly moving romantic suspense that fans of the genre will love.

I would give this 4. It lost half a point for the incredulity of a woman getting involved with a man without knowing his job - not even a made up story about a job. However, even with that, this is a great book that should be at the top of your TBR list. The author is on my must read authors' list. Thank you for your beautiful dedication. As a LEO's mom, I particularly appreciated it.

I pray for your husband's safely along with that of all of our LEOs. Sep 04, Patricia rated it it was amazing. This publishing company really has many talented authors under their label.
