Much better than The Defender

I made the mistake of reading The Defender (Theo's story) halfway before I realized it was part of a trilogy and Nik's book is the second ...and I don't even have The P.I. - the first book! Wow. Nik is one hot cop. It's a pity this Cara Summers' Blaze trilogy features mediocre sex scenes because if any hero deserved hotter pages, Nik does. The sexual tension starts early and as soon as Nik lays eyes on J C Riley. I liked that JC is comfortable with her attraction to Nik despite the fact that their first meeting is anything but romantic. It's a pity Summers did not take advantage of Nik's sexiness and J C's sassiness where sex is concerned or I'd have had a keeper on my hands. Still, The Cop was a much more enjoyable read than the last book, The Defender, because Nik and J C were a more interesting couple than Theo and Sadie. There was a chemistry between Nik and J C that I did not perceive between Theo and Sadie. Both books ran at a good pace and while the Angelis trilogy isn't gripping romantic suspense, it's not bad at all. That said, I don't intend to buy The P.I because while I liked the Angelis brothers well enough, I don't think the story itself is substantial enough to make a good trilogy. I'd rather read a different Blaze with spicier scenes and completely different characters. Two Angelis books is enough because the books are still about each brother's romance but having it connected to the same event ends up giving it a sameness such that it feels like I'm reading one book about brothers and their girlfriends. Two of them is enough and Kit somehow didn't attract me enough to even buy his book at the start.
