PI Jackson Rivers grew up on the mean streets of Del Paso Heights—and he doesn’t trust cops, even though he was one. When the man he thinks of as his brother is accused of killing a police officer in an obviously doctored crime, Jackson will move heaven and earth to keep Kaden and his family safe.

Defense attorney Ellery Cramer grew up with the proverbial silver spoon in his mouth, but that hasn’t stopped him from crushing on street-smart, swaggering Jackson Rivers for the past six years. But when Jackson asks for his help defending Kaden Cameron, Ellery is out of his depth—and not just with guarded, prickly Jackson. Kaden wasn’t just framed, he was framed by crooked cops, and the conspiracy goes higher than Ellery dares reach—and deep into Jackson’s troubled past.

Both men are soon enmeshed in the mystery of who killed the cop in the minimart, and engaged in a race against time to clear Kaden’s name. But when the mystery is solved and the bullets stop flying, they’ll have to deal with their personal complications… and an attraction that’s spiraled out of control.

Fish Out of Water is an intriguing story filled with action,suspense, romance and two people who loathe each other in spite of their attraction to one another. This book is an action packed and fast paced love story which will take you on an eventful ride.

Jackson and Ellery are two people who puts up a facade where they hate each other in spite of their obvious chemistry. Jackson finds himself in a position where he needs Ellery’s help and this brings them closer. Jackson and Ellery are different as night and day. They both are two people who comes from two extreme circumstances in life that their relation does not make any sense at first. But as the story progresses we get to see how they are in a way perfect for each other. Their relation is built through out the book and it is not something which happens right from the start. They have to take their own time and have to face their own issues in order to find a common ground where their relation could develop. What I loved the most is how the author had explored their chemistry and how that led to them becoming closer to each other. Apart from their love story, the book also focuses on family and loyalty and the extend to which we go for our loved ones. The bond which Jackson shares with Jade and Kaden is beautiful and it is one of the focal points in the story. Also is the suspense and action element. I loved that the author had mixed all the elements and gave all of them equal importance to create a story which is intriguing and made me kept glued to the story.

Fish out of Water is an intriguing action packed love story which will take you on a suspense filled journey and will definitely leave you wanting for more.
