Review:
The Colton 911 series follows the Colton family and each book in the series is written by a different author and takes place in Grand Rapids, MI. Detective on Call is book 3 in the series but only the first one I've had a chance to read.
Pippa Colton knows her best friend's mother is many things, but a murderer is not one of them. Anna's been accused of murdering her lover and Pippa has taken on the case to prove her innocence. Re-investigating the entire case has put Pippa's life in danger and brought Detective Emmanuel Iglesias to her her doorstep. As the threats intensify so does the attraction between Pippa and Emmanuel.
Detective on Call is an intense romantic suspense novel that brings together an unlikely couple - an attorney and the detective on the case the attorney is trying to bust wide open. They have insta-chemistry but neither want to accept the feelings. They are on opposite sides of the murder case; Pippa wants Anna freed and Emmanuel knows his investigation is rock-solid. The more Pippa digs into the case, the more danger finds its way to her doorstep. Forced together by Emmanuel's best friend, who also happens to be Pippa's brother, Pippa and Emmanuel find themselves slowly breaking down their walls.
I loved Detective on Call and the location. I live in Central Michigan so any book set in Michigan makes me happy. This books is well-written, has awesome characters, and a mystery that kept me on my toes. I enjoy the author's writing style so everything I've read by Regan Black has been a hit with me.
Pippa is a strong, but stubborn character. She puts herself in danger for what she feels is the greater good. She's a good person who wants nothing but justice for Anna, regardless of the cost and her sacrifices are noble. Emmanuel is a great detective, follows the law to the letter, and knows the case against Anna was solid. He is, however, open to discussion when Pippa brings forth insight and knowledge needing review.
I was provided a paperback of this book to read.
