Goodreads

Amelia loves her good friend, Avery. So much so that she agrees to do the stupidest thing ever.

A stranger photo shoot.

You know the type. The photographer takes photos of two individuals. Two individuals that, until that day, have never met in their life.

The moment she shows up at the photo shoot, she knows that she made a terrible decision.

Why? Because the total stranger about to be in an intimate photo shoot with her is the hottest thing that’s ever walked the streets of Kilgore, Texas. If not the entire US of A.

***

Adam wasn’t sure why the hell he agreed to something so stupid.

Call it temporary lapse of sanity.

When the photographer who shot his photo for the Kilgore Police Department’s benefit calendar asked him for a favor, he couldn’t say no. Not without looking like a jerk seeing as it was benefiting the Fallen Officer Foundation that he played a rather large part in.

Whatever it was that made him agree, he quickly realizes that it’s not worth it. Not when he walks into the studio and sees the massive bed with blood-red sheets dominating the middle of the room.

So uncomfortable he is at the sight, he’s about to head straight out the door and not look back when she walks in.
Amelia steals his breath away with just one glance, and all of a sudden, getting this stranger into his arms with his mouth on hers sounds like the best idea ever.

Any Day Now is book 8 in the SWAT 2.0 series and I continue to find these books to be comfort reads for me! I love a straight forward romance that makes me laugh and swoon.

First off, Amelia and Adam meet at a stranger photo shoot set up by their friend Avery (from a previous book). I have always found these photo shoots so interesting and this story gives you a chance to kind of see what could happen after (I always imagine that the couple falls in love and lives happily ever after).

Amelia is headstrong and stubborn. She works in a strip club to piss her dad and brothers off, which is hilarious. She has made most decisions in her life based on how irritating they would be to her family. Adam is not like that at all. He is close to his parents and became a SWAT officer. He is the “golden boy” in a way and Amelia is the black sheep. I loved that dynamic.

If you need something light and happy to distract you from the world, Any Day Now is a great pick. It’s a quick read that has humor, steam, and even a touch of danger!
