Better with You (Outback Skies #4)
by Lexxie Couper
Blurb:
Charlie
Baynard is an average Outback cop. Protecting the people in his small town and
flying through the Outback skies in his police chopper suits him just fine. But
there s a side to him that no one knows about. Like the fact he used to be one
of the Australian government s best assets, and his name isn t really Charlie.
A
dangerous past conditioned Charlie to be afraid of nothing and no one. Except
for the woman who knows "exactly" who he really is. His wife. And if
the reports that she s headed for Wallaby Ridge are true, he s got two choices
arrest her or kill her. Before she kills him.
Dani
De Vries never questioned orders and was paid to do things that put her on a
lot of most-wanted lists. Then Charlie entered her life and things shifted. Now
Dani is on the run, hunted by dangerous people. But not as dangerous as the man
she never meant to fall in love with her husband.
If
only she can find him in time. And convince him not to put a bullet between her
eyes.

Review:
Ok let’s be honest, sometimes you just need a
short and somewhat raunchy love story to give you a break from a lot of the
emotionally heavy and tragic romance novels on the market these days. And this story will give you just that. Charlie has been a favorite character of mine
throughout this entire series and it was nice to see him in action and finding
his HEA. His relationship with the
heroine has certainly been an interesting one and seeing them finally admit their
love—after almost killing each other—was beyond wonderful. Dani was an odd duck to be sure, but in the
end I liked her loyalty and willingness to do just about anything for her
man. That being said, the plot of this
story was good, but the best part was the intense and sensual love scenes
between these two. Just enough emotion
thrown in to keep it from being too far the other way, but overall a sexy and
passionate novella about two characters that have earned the chance for a nice
normal life. If you are a fun of Lexxie
Couper you will not be disappointed and we also get to see some of the previous
heroes and learn a few choice bits about them.
All in all another great addition to my shelves and one I can see myself
reading again in the future.
