Synopsis. (Goodreads)

A journalist stumbles onto the story of a lifetime. And finds herself falling in danger…

When young, naïve reporter Jessica Brady is kidnapped and held for ransom by the head of an illegal dog fighting organization, undercover police officer Ian Cole realizes he’s got his hands full. He’s on the verge of busting the ring when he’s assigned to babysit her, which isn’t an easy feat. She’s neurotic, feisty, and also happens to be scared to death of dogs. Now he has to figure out a way to get them both out alive.

Jessica has no idea the thug she’s becoming attracted to is actually a cop, but it’s clear he’s not like the rest of the men in the organization. Particularly Albert Mancini, the disturbed only son of the ring boss, who has an appetite for alcohol and women. Especially Jessica.

When Ian’s cover is blown, he’s forced to bust the ring early. Weeks later, Jessica can’t stop thinking about the experience that has changed her forever. She wonders about the tall, sexy detective who saved her life. And the mobster’s prize-winning pit bull, Bruta.

An idea for a story is born. What if these dogs were given a second chance at life?

As Jessica digs deeper into their troubled world, she ends up falling for the police officer who rescued them. And discovers layers of her heart she never knew existed.

But when Albert escapes from jail, her happiness turns to terror. He hasn’t forgotten about the detective who put him behind bars. Or the beautiful young woman whose every move has become his obsession.

Content Warning: Contains sensual sex and explicit language

REVIEW: 5 out of 5 stars

I received a copy of Falling in Danger by Kaylie Newell in exchange for my honest review.

When Journalist Jessica Brady is captured by the head of an illegal dog fighting ring she does everything she possibly can to escape, not believing her father who they are planning on blackmailing will ever pay over the ransom her captors are requesting.

Jessica was a believable character, her reactions and emotions when captured were portrayed perfectly; she was feisty, she showed her fear, she panicked and she fought back.

Ian Cole is undercover and on the verge of arresting the key players involved in the organization of the dog fighting ring when he is assigned to babysit Jessica which also enables him to protect her from the evil son of the ring boss, Albert Mancini. When Ian's cover is blown he is forced to bust the ring early, but Jessica doesn’t give up and decides to pursue the story.

I loved Ian and Jessica as a couple, he was certainly the alpha male and more or less lived for his job but I enjoyed how these two were bought together and their interactions.It was a really nice romance.

Falling in Danger was a real page turner; I enjoyed all of the characters, including the villains who were truly horrible; even Bruta played a wonderful role – I adored this dog and truly felt for what he had to endure.

Ms Newell’s writing is wonderful, the plot flowed quickly and smoothly and kept me riveted throughout. I will definitely read more books written by Kaylie Newell.
