This was my first contemporary romance by Elizabeth Hoyt (aka Julia Harper).  Since she's been MIA forever. (THOUGH SHE'S BACK NEXT WEEK!!!)

it was a romantic suspense. I actually loved the romance and chemistry and dual pov.  But it was insta-lust/love.  But the months of knowing of each other as neighbors helped that.

The suspense storyline SUCKED.

Not the spiciest, but still a couple scenes.

I'll continue with the series.  Definitely dated in the 2010s with language.  According to Reddit "swarthy" is not a rude term, but I think being raised by a tribe of self-critical women, it has a negative connotation for me.
