Exposed Desire: The Benedict Brothers Book 3 by Tara Sue Me centers around Officer Alyssa and the eldest Benedict brother, Kipling. The heat between them is fierce enough to burn down their town, Charleston, but they cannot be together. For one, Kipling is a wealthy businessman with an infamous reputation as a playboy, whereas Alyssa is quite the ordinary police officer. Even worse, Officer Alyssa has arrested him once and is deeply enmeshed in a case involving his family. At a wedding, they decide to let down their guard and enjoy each other's company. But one dance is not enough; they want so much more. When Kipling’s sister goes missing, can they work together to find her before the Charleston serial killer strikes closer to home?

Although Exposed Desire is the third book in the Benedict Brothers trilogy, I was able to read and enjoy Kipling's and Alyssa’s roles in the story as a stand-alone, but I would recommend following the entire series to enjoy these protective men and the women they love. The suspense builds in this book, and the stakes are even higher. A long-guarded secret and a cold case tie Kipling and Alyssa together, and as they race against time to solve them, their guards come down, and they see each other for who they are beneath the protective façade. Tara Sue Me delivers a steamy, fast-paced, suspenseful romance for readers who enjoy a strong heroine and lots of danger.
