New York's Finest #2
Lauren Layne
Releasing Nov 24th, 2015
Forever
IN HOT PURSUIT
Being
a cop might be in Anthony Moretti's blood, but protecting and serving the city
of New York has always been more than just the family business. If that means
his love life stays locked up, well then that's just another sacrifice made in
the line of duty. That is, until he sets eyes on the gorgeous new waitress at
The Darby Diner and suddenly Anthony's morning coffee is leaving him a whole
lot more hot and bothered than usual.
Though
waitressing at The Darby isn't exactly Maggie Walker's dream job, it pays the
bills and gives her time to work on her novel. Now if only she could stop
fantasizing about gorgeous Anthony Moretti every time he sits down at her
table, she'd really be in great shape. But when he needs her help identifying a
criminal threatening The Darby—and Maggie recognizes her ex-husband—she fears
her fresh start might be a pipe dream. Faster than a New York minute, Maggie and
Anthony find themselves in one perilous pursuit that only gets hotter with each
and every rule-breaking kiss.

Review
4 Police Badges
If you like Blue Bloods, you will like this book. The Moretti’s are NYPD royalty. From the police commissioner on down. They are an Italian family with a strong bond to one another. Mandatory Sunday brunch at The Darby Diner every Sunday. The family gets together every Sunday and the love for one another is evident.
Maggie Walker is a waitress at the diner, and the Moretti family adores her. She takes care of their orders sees to their needs and she wishes that she could have been part of such a loving family growing up. Maggie is pretty much alone in the world. Her mother left the family when she was 12 and her father and younger brother are selfish jerks with substance abuse problems. Maggie also divorced her lazy husband severing all ties with him and moving to Brooklyn, New York. She dreams of being a Y A Romance writer.
Anthony Moretti is the oldest son in the Moretti family and is on the fast track to follow in his father's footsteps and be police commissioner someday. Although he comes from a family with loving parents, he feels that he can not commit to a relationship with a woman. He has been there with disastrous results.
The new waitress at the diner is getting on his nerves. Yeah she is hot, and everyone in his family seems to think that she is wonderful, but she keeps dropping food and drinks on him. Besides that she is always giving him some kind of attitude. However he also can’t stop thinking about her. She is becoming too much of a distraction, and he can’t have distractions now. He is no closer to solving the “Smiley” robbies. The cocky robber is making the headlines making the NYPD and Captain Anthony Moretti look bad.
This book is a humorous suspense romance. It is the second book of a series following the Moretti family. I did not read the first book and was able to follow along, but there are references to the first book. The book has some tense moments. I enjoyed reading it and I am considering getting the first book in the series Frisk Me. There is sex, some violence and substance abuse in this book. I did enjoy the character development. My favorite character by far is Nona, Anthony’s grandmother. The woman is funny as as anything.
