For Fallon Wayland, birthdays are just another reminder of her looming spinsterhood. This year is shaping up to be no different. Fired from her job, dumped by her boyfriend, and oh yes, witnessing the murder of a high-ranking lieutenant in the local crime family... Yeah, birthdays suck.
Ever since a disastrous, hot-as-hell kiss years ago, soldier-turned-security specialist Shane Roarke has avoided his baby sister's reckless - and gorgeous - best friend. Yet when her life is threatened after she witnesses a gang hit, he insists on protecting her...even if she objects.
The two are forced to hole up in a safe house. Alone. Passion long denied erupts between them, burning away their inhibitions. But even as layers - and clothes - are peeled away, danger closes in. Shane and Fallon might finally have a chance at love...if they survive long enough to see it.

Review:
I loved it! What a nice surprise. Lately I didn't have much luck in finding amazing books but this one was really good. It had fun banter, great characters, great chemistry and a good story.
Fallon was really sassy and I loved it and it was clear that Shane was into her but was holding himself back.
What is this book about:
Fallon doesn't have the best of luck. While her parents where rich and they never had to struggle to get around, she wasn't exactly wanted. Her mother is on her 5th (or so) marriage and her father is rather distant. Anyhow, she remembers lusting after her best friends brother, Shane, since forever but after a disastrous kiss, well the kiss was great but Shane's reaction not so much, she knew it would never happen.
So yeah Fallon never had the greatest birthdays either, waiting for her father to show up on one, having her mother go on a cruise with her new husband....without her, getting rejected by her crush, and now this one. Witnessing a gang related murder and getting threatened by the killer.
Shane runs his own security company after he retired from the military, with some friends, and when he hears about what happened to Fallon from his sister he is pissed that Fallon didn't contact him herself. The police are underfunded and understaffed and are not doing a great job seeing that Fallon's identity was leaked to the gang that wants her dead for talking. He is going to make sure Fallon stay's save whether she want's his protection or not. What Shane didn't expect was for his restraint to be tested as much as it is while he is around Fallon.
What did I like/love:
I loved the interaction between Fallon and Shane. There was some great sass and great chemistry between them. The suspense wasn't there all that much but just enough to keep things interesting. I had my suspicions on who was the leak but I'm glad the author fitted in that twist.
What did I dislike/hate:
