Dark Blue (Book 1 in the South Island PD series) by Ranae Rose
Releases: 10/12/2015
If Belle is going to get a speeding ticket, it might as well be written by the hottest cop South Island has ever seen. But Officer Jackson Calder isn't just a daydream in blue, he's the first man she ever slept with, and the only one she doesn't regret.
One routine traffic stop, and Jackson's past is back to haunt him in the most bittersweet way imaginable. Too good for him and too good to forget, Belle became a fantasy after she left the island. Now that she's home for good in the Lowcountry, she's a living, breathing temptation he can't resist.
He was her first, but that was just the beginning. It's being the last that counts.
Book 1 in the South Island PD Series.

My Review:
Dark Blue is an amazing start to the SIPD book series. In it we are introduced to not only the main characters of the book itself, but other members of the South Island Police Deparment who will be featured in other books (I'm guessing and hoping!).
Jackson Calder grew up determined to be different than his family, and he's made himself more than that being a police officer and doing what he can to help others. Unfortunately for him, it is sometimes frustrating letting things happen that he has no control over in his capacit as an officer of the law.
Belle Morrisey just recently returned home to South Island, she's got a job she loves, a nice home, and is recovering from a broken relationship. Not looking for anything more in her life currently, Belle finds herself highly curious when former fling Jackson pulls her over to give her a speeding ticket.
Both Belle and Jackson are unsure of the others feelings after their past fling. They both wonder what the other person wants out of their recent re-meeting and if they can make a real relationship work.
There is more than meets the eye going on with Belle and Jackson both, personal issues, problems at work, etc. As each layer unfolds, it builds the tension and chemistry between the two and also the surrounding story.
Ranae Rose has a well rounded story in Dark Blue, not only do we have the sparkling chemistry between these two people, but we also see into their lives. We see how each of them takes their work seriously and how they realize just how they change others lives day to day or wish they could do more. We get to see first hand that Jackson has cop instincts and trusts his gut which eventually he uses to save Belle herself. We see their friendships with other officers and other people and how those people influence thier lives. We also get the steamy private moments between Belle and Jackson.
Dark Blue has it all, a dash of mystery, a bit of drama, heat and most importantly heart. I look forward to more of the SIPD books.

I live in the South with my man in uniform, who I married for the entertainment value. Just kidding – it was the handcuffs true love. So far, our happily ever after includes a couple kids, German Shepherd dogs and a mutual appreciation of timely ‘that’s what she said’ jokes.
When I’m not writing, I love reading, good coffee, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and whatever outdoor adventures I can find.
I also love hearing from readers, so don’t be shy!
