When a perfect new love is shattered, two hearts will do anything to pick up the pieces. In this sizzling novel from the author of Stone Walls, irresistible heat leads to sensual thrills—and a secret that changes everything. Two years ago, Nick Farley was undercover as a bartender in Chicago. The tough-as-steel FBI agent was working all the angles to build a case against a local crime syndicate, but even his intense focus was no match for the sight of Angela Cavallo’s plump pink lips pulling on her drink. All Nick got was one night—the longest, hottest, sweetest night of his life. It could have been the beginning of something real. Instead, she walked away—and Nick watched her go. Angela has made some mistakes in her life, but Nick was never one of them. Nor was the baby boy he doesn’t know about. But Angela has been running from a stalker for so long that she’s forgotten how to feel safe. So when Nick suddenly reappears in her life, Angela faces a moment of truth. She wants to trust him and reveal her secrets—her life and the life of their son may depend on it—but first she needs to know that Nick can handle her past, and promise the one thing she most craves: a future together.

Glass Ceilings (True Heroes #2) by A.M. Madden was a well written but confusing book to me. I had been interested to read something by this author for a longer time now – so I took the chance with this ARC even though I was not very sure about the plot.

I turns out that the writing is well developed and I am sure I will read another book by this author. In addition, my doubts about the plotline disappeared – there were just some things inside the plot that confused me. It may have been me overlooking something but …

I believe that each reviewer has his own specifications on what to look for in a book. Even if you never articulate them aloud if you pay close attention to yourself, you will find out soon that it is always the same pattern that you are following.

In my case it is not that I check on spelling or typing mistakes – they are not my cup of tea if they do not interfere with my reading: I am unintentionally checking up on logical stuff it seems. Like when a main character turns on the radio to listen to music on page 5 I notice it when on page 200 someone says that the same character does not like music at all.

So in case of this book there were some situations that went against my logic (again maybe it is just me overlooking something but it’s my honest feeling).

I cannot go into details as that is against my “no spoiler” rule. And maybe that is even better if I do not mention any details to not disturb the reading pleasure for others.

In total the story was well developed and the characters were well written. So I am looking forward to reading another book by this author to solidify my opinion that this is a really interesting author.
