Available January 7th 2014. Pre-order now! 
She's on thin ice.

Detective Rocki Bangli has spent the past four months undercover, trying to get the goods on drug lord Darrell Archer. Now that she's gained Darrell's trust, he's given her a job: keep an eye on the Beaumont Body Shop, a car detailer and private investigation agency. There's only one problem-her target is the hot and very sexy Tony Weston, whose eyes tell her he's on to her game . . . 

He's her only hope.

Tony spotted the gorgeous detective a year ago at the police academy and never forgot her. A thousand fantasies later, he finds Rocki working for the most dangerous man in town. Now, Tony's determined to find out what's going on . . . after he brings her home with him. But when her position is compromised, suddenly Rocki and everyone she loves might be in danger. Now Rocki must trust Tony with her secrets, her mission, and her life-or it could be the end for both of them.

Ah Weston! If you read book one in the Hard Body series you might remember Rocki Bangli. If not you get a refresher of where you saw her before in this book. Rocki has been working undercover to get the goods on Darrell Archer who is Kage Archer from book one's bad guy uncle.  Whew!! Follow that? I don't think it was too hard, right? Rocki is told to meet with the guys at pool table 3 at a local pub and who walks in but the Beaumont body shop boys including Tony Weston.  She's to go home with whichever guy talks to her and Tony's that man. Tony knows who Rocki is but every word out of her mouth is a lie when he meets her. As a private investigator he knows things and he's seen her at the local police academy. He's been in serious lust of her since he laid eyes on her and now here she is.  Is she a cop undercover or has she gone bad.  Her cover gets blown right after and her life is on the line along with her mom and Tony and the other guys. She's tough but it might be one of those times to let the someone help her out.  Rocki is tough as nails but even tough girls have limits and when her mentor seems like he's gone bad and set her up that's it.  A action packed thrill zone, something is always happening in this book. Tony will grab your heartstrings in no time as he tries to protect both Rocki and his best friend Kage.  I can't wait to see which one of the Beaumont body shop boys is next!

Book review: Archer (Hard Body #1) by Debra Kayn

Available now! 
She's on the run . . . 

Jane Beaumont currently has in her possession: a cat, a hundred grand in cash, and a pistol. She's on her way home to Bay City, Oregon-and away from the nightmare of her violent ex-boyfriend. She'll lay low at Beaumont Body Shop, a car detailer that runs a private investigation agency in the back. The only wrench in her plan is Kage Archer: sexy, strong, and intent on protecting Jane at all costs. She's wanted Kage forever, but putting him in harm's way is not a risk she's willing to take. 

He's not going anywhere 

Kage is no stranger to the dark side of life, but he's always walked on the right side of the law. Yet when Jane expressed her interest in him years ago, he pushed her away for her own good. Now, after learning of all she's endured, Kage can't leave her side-or hide his need for her. When a frightening situation turns dire, can Kage convince Jane that the safest place to be is in his arms?


This is book 1 in the new Hard Body series by Debra Kayn. I have read and loved her cow girl series but this time she takes a turn at contemporary/romantic suspense. Jane finds herself in a abusive relationship with a man who is not what he appears. When he comes close to killing her she grabs her cat, her now ex boyfriend gun and a wad of his cash and runs home to her brother and his friends.  Kage comes from a violent and drug filled background. His mom and dad were casualties of this life and ever since he was a kid he's fought to not be like them To be honorable and upstanding doing the right thing always. Jane always had a thing for Kage but he never made a move because she was 4 years younger than him. She's all grown up now though and back home. Kage and Jane's brother and two of their other friends run a car detail shop. It's a front for their other business as private investigators. They have the skills to protect Jane when it's clear her ex isn't going to let her go easily. Kage always want to finally put his mark on Jane but first he's got to get the ex out of her life permanently and try to convince her he's in it for the long haul this time. Debra Kayn knocks it out the park with this story. I got into it right away. Love the guys and the ladies in this book. Kage Archer. The name just screams sexy! The character matches the name. He's a tall, dark and brooding alpha male. He takes charge right from page one but yet shows his tender side to Jane when she needs it. You also get the set up for the next two books possibly if your paying attention. Be sure to read Chapter one of "Weston" the next book in the series that comes at the end of the book. Looking forward to the rest of this series. 5 out of 5 stars for Archer by Debra Kayn.
