Our Review
5 Star *****

I have been not so patiently awaiting a new Tina Reber release for a long time. So I was thrilled when I learned she was starting a new series. Let me tell you “Jacked” was so worth the wait!

The story is one that grabs you from the first word and doesn’t let you go till the very end. Full of intense, realistic action. Adam Trent is a police officer and member of the elite Auto Theft Task Force. He is a hot, charming, sweet badass. Yes I said sweet badass. A series of coincidental (or maybe it’s more like fated) circumstances bring him slamming into the world of ER Doctor Erin Novak. Erin is a smart, focused and determined doctor. She is very driven and very good at her job. As the story unfolds you find that both pour all of themselves into their jobs as an escape of sorts. They are each plagued with demons of the past. Can they help each other heal and make peace with their sins? Can Erin give to him the control he so desperately needs while letting go of the control that she holds too tightly to? 

It's quite a ride. Tina Reber is one of those authors that do their homework. She weaves all of the complicated technical points of both the medical and law enforcement fields with ease and accuracy. Never talking above her readers head but not dumbing down or over simplifying the dialog or situations. I felt like I was in an actual trauma unit at a hospital watching the action unfold. It was riveting and intriguing with just the right balance of intensity and humor. Great character development… you really get to know these people… from Adam and Erin to the secondary characters. 

Oh and did I mention it is one scorching read? So hot. This is a thinking woman’s romance. I love that! The sex scenes were intense and moving and had a depth to them that really connected you to the moment. No frivolous over the top sex for the sake of sex here. So refreshing. This is a real grown up love story with sub-plots and twists and bad guys and TV cameras and just “Wow”. It’s a must read and I for one am looking forward to meeting more of the fascinating Trent Brothers.
