David by Lindsay Cross

First of all, let me say what a striking cover this is! It is one of the best covers I've seen in a while. As for the story, it is a bit of a departure from the team this series has focused on. David is undercover DEA but has some common ties to Hunter and the guys from books 1-3. This could definitely be read as a standalone though if you haven't read the other books.

One main difference in this story, other than the length, is that it focuses on a married couple with children. Over the last few years, they have drifted apart as his job has increasingly monopolized David's time and Lori has gotten caught up in her resentment of it. Both of them have begun to notice the problems but don't know how to fix them. As is typical, they have been neglecting the intimate aspects of their marriage. David takes some time off work to remind Lori how he feels about her and how much he desires her. The problems occur when his work unexpectedly bleeds into his home and Lori's life could be the cost.

I thought this was a very realistic representation of how couples can get after years of complacency. Their way of reconnecting was spicy and fun. I will be looking forward to the next offshoot novella. The preview was interesting.
