People keep dying around Harper MacLain. Try as she might, she can’t stop bad things from happening to those she loves. When her closely guarded secret lands her in the middle of her ex-boyfriend’s investigation, she’s in over her head. She hates that Detective Lucas Sullivan is in her life again, tempting her to fall back into bad habits...and his bed.

When Harper left him, Lucas tried not to care, burying himself in his job instead. Then Harper became the job. Now they’re on the run, and all he can think about is keeping her safe...and his hands off her. Lucas knows she's the key to solving his case, if he can keep them alive long enough to do it. And that's the trick...because falling in love can kill you.

Each book in the An Unlikely Hero series is a standalone, full length story that can be enjoyed out of order.

Nice story

Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2020

Lots of action as they try to find out who are the dirty cops. All the while, they are being chased. But who is actually after them, we do not find out till towards the end. Surprises made for a good book.

Fun

Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2016

This time, we see Dane’s sister, Harper and Lucas. We saw a bit of Harper in the previous book, and like two seconds of Lucas. So, it was interesting to see them again and finally hear what happened between them in the past.

Here, Harper has the worst of luck. She just keeps getting pulled into this bad-guy business situation and all she wants is have a normal life as a teacher. I truly felt for her, but at the same time, she was really careless with her safety. Also, there was a secret she was trying by all means to hide, and in the end, I didn’t find it that bad. I felt she made this huge thing in her head, when it was much simpler. It was annoying at times.

As for Lucas, well, he was a good guy, although not a fan on how he was constantly grabbing Harper to take her here and there. A bit rough, imo. I liked him but, like Harper, he had a few things holding him back that I felt were not that bad either (Harper was the daughter of a cop, she knew the drill).

I don’t know, I liked the action and twists here and there, but I was not that convinced with these two. I felt they were much more dramatic than was necessary.

The ending is rather open and from the way it is set, the next book sounds awesome (if there is another book).

*Thank you to Entangled Publishing for providing an ARC in exchange of my honest opinion*

Lucas and Harper belonged together even though they didn't know what they would have to go through to find their way back to each other. Really enjoyed this second book just as much as the first one in this trilogy.

What a whirlwind of a story! Exciting and sexy!

Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2017

Wow! There was a lot to this story and a lot to pay attention to. I was really interested in how the story would play out, who was innocent, who was not, would Lucas and Harper find their happy ever after, what other secrets did everyone have?? Such a fun and exciting, not to mention sexy roller coaster of a ride. I loved how Lucas went into straight protector mode from the very beginning of their story. Harper was also a protector of both her family and Lucas. And they both so easily fell back into their sexual awareness and belonging for each other despite their relationship ending a year before. Ms. Rafferty really keeps you on your toes and makes you pay close attention to all the players in this story. If you do not, you might miss key evidence.

I received this book in exchange for an honest review from the publisher through Netgalley.

Great read!

Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2016

Although I've just started reading this type of suspense/romance drama novel, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Tempted by a Touch by Kris Rafferty. Her storyline kept me guessing on who was dirty/clean, but I liked the underlining romance between H/h (Lucas/Harper) and the fact that I never questioned their love and loyalty to each other. Some frustrating bits here and there waiting for resolutions to some of the issues, but I think the author had a good sense of timing and answered the looming questions in my head before I gave up! No cliffhangers with the main H/h and they get a satisfying HEA. Well written enough for me to want to read more of Kris Rafferty's work. I received an advance reader copy in exchange for a fair review.

Tempted by a touch written by Kris Rafferty book#2 in “An Unlike Hero Series”

This was my first book by Kris Rafferty; I suggest to read “Betrayed by a kiss” before you will start this book.

Harper and Lucas dated for a while and both felt their their soul deep connection. Unfortunately, their ideas for what their future together should look like were vastly different, and Harper felt she had to let go. Lucas is still angry, but when another's actions place her in danger, he can't help but make sure she is protected.

I loved the cover for this book. It is what initially caught my interest since I was unfamiliar with this author. I ended up really getting into the story and the characters. I especially enjoyed Caleb and am excited he will be getting his own story.
