Sexy firefighters, a badass cop and a family that would do anything for one of their own make this spicy read the perfect book adventure anytime!

A Romantic Suspense … not exactly what I thought this was going to be. But, once everything atruegemawardstarted coming together, as I got to know the characters and understand the storyline, I was thrilled that I took the time and read this story. Kimberly Kincaid did a fantastic job of keeping me totally engaged and interested in where the story was going. She surprised me with a few twists and turns and delighted me with Kellen and Isabella.

Skin Deep was a complicated story with just as complicated characters. Both Kellan and Isabella had pasts that haunt them. A senseless murder and several deployments. Both of them have their own ways of dealing with what has happened in their lives. Isabella refuses to let anyone get close to her. Kellan compartmentalizes everything. They had a rough beginning but neither one of them can deny the sizzle when they are together. As they work together, pull this case together, they can’t but fall into each other’s arms and bed.

Kellan opens up and slowly gets Isabella to let him in, to make her see that he’s more than just a firefighter but a man who’s ready to care, to love and to depend on. It takes a lot for Isabella to truly see the man that he is and to accept him and her team in the police department. In the end, when it’s her life or his, she picks his … opens her eyes, makes the right call and brings an end to what could have been the end of both of their lives.

As I said, I wasn’t really expecting a story as intense as Skin Deep was. When she brought us to a fire, she was spot on with how everything would go down. When she brought us to the undercover meets, she was spot on with how everything would go down. Now, would a firefighter and a detective work a case together? No. But, it did make things interesting! I was really impressed with how the story flowed, how the police investigation did intertwine with the fire scenes; with how Ms. Kincaid brought Kellan and Isabella through their pasts and had them looking forward to the future. The supporting characters were just that … supporting … and he did a wonderful job integrating them into the story and making them a true part of it. Skin Deep had a wonderful storyline, interesting characters and kept me on the edge of my seat waiting to see how, exactly this would end.

I just couldn't get into this book. I stopped reading 10% of the way through. It just didn't hold my interest

Nice start to a contemporary romance series. It had great characters, an interesting storyline, and the balance of romance and suspense was just right.
