Synopsis (Goodreads):

Never, ever fall for your brother’s annoying, infuriating, gorgeous best friend.

Gia Norcross’ life is exactly how she likes it. She has a successful PR firm in San Francisco, a beautiful apartment, a loving family of overprotective brothers, and her fabulous designer shoe collection. Perfection. Sure, occasionally she has to deal with her aggravating nemesis who happens to be her brother’s best friend. Saxon Buchanan: tall, rich, handsome, bossy, and knows how to work her last nerve.

She’ll never, ever admit to anyone that most days, she isn’t sure if she wants to punch the arrogant, tattooed, suit-wearing know-it-all…or kiss him.

After a military career spent in a covert special ops team doing hard, dirty, and very classified missions, Saxon Buchanan is happy working at Norcross Security as the company’s top troubleshooter. He also enjoys the perks of civilian life. That includes sparring with smart, sexy Gia of the wide brown eyes, luscious curves, and sharp tongue. He’s spent half his life fighting the pull of his best friend’s little sister.

But seeing a man aim a gun at Gia changes everything.

When Gia’s troubled childhood best friend drags her into a really, really bad situation, soon bullets are flying, precious gemstones are missing, and Gia’s in danger. Saxon’s done pushing away the one woman he’s ever wanted. He’ll do everything to protect her, and he’s not letting anything get in his way: not the bad guys, not his best friend, and especially not Gia.

Thoughts on The Troubleshooter: Gia and Saxon. Oh, yeah. She's sassy and strong and is very good at ignoring her attraction to her brother's HAWT best friend. He's focused and deadly and has to remind himself that some people are just off limits. Period. Done deal.

Then Gia gets dragged into something dangerous and suddenly all the excuses the two have been giving themselves don't seem worth it when they realize they could very easily lose their connection before it ever starts going. Cue the smoking hot flirting and lingering looks and sexy touches.

The Norcross family to a person has determination and smarts on their side. Once Gia decides she's in, she's in hard. And she doesn't give up on people (come to think, that's sort of what got her into trouble in the first place. Thanks, Willow.) which means she might fight and argue with Saxon, but she absolutely has his back when he needs her. Just like he has her back when she needs him.

I'm digging this series. We get danger, fighting, verbal sparring as foreplay, and a family who stands together when something threatens anyone in their ranks. Bring on Easton's story!
