Glass Ceilings: A True Heroes Novel

I love Nick! Glass Ceilings is book 2 in the True Heroes series but you don’t need to have read the first book to enjoy this one. While Nick was introduced in Stone Walls, Glass Ceilings stands alone with no problem. This story is hot in places but it is also very touching and tender in others. Nick and Angela meet while he is working undercover. Angela’s cousin, Eve and Nick’s friend Jase, try to get her to use Nick to knock an item off of her bucket list: have a one-night stand. Nick is more than willing knowing that one night is all it can be since he will be leaving Chicago soon. After an explosive New Year’s Eve kiss Angela goes home alone leaving Nick behind. He can’t get Angela out of his mind so he goes to her place even though it’s 4 a.m. Angela doesn’t want to start anything with him because she, too, is leaving Chicago soon. When they find out they are both heading to New York they decide to explore their relationship a bit more. The story is told in first person POV and divided into 3 parts. In the first part most chapters are told by Nick; later on they alternate a bit more between Nick and Angela. I love a great second chance love story and this one has just the right amount of angst for me. Part 1 is the set-up of their relationship. Part 2 jumps ahead 2 years when they meet again and Part 3 begins the second chance. There is also a nice secondary story going on between Eve and Jase. Glass Ceilings kept me engrossed and awake during a long red-eye flight from LA the east coast. While I paid dearly for not getting any sleep during the flight I wasn’t one bit sorry!

An awesome story with a unique plot that was fun and fresh. This is my first read from this author and she has definitely gained a fan. The writing and character development where excellent and I enjoyed the pace of the story as well. I really liked that most of this story is told from Nick's POV. This is the second book in the series but is easily read standalone, although I will definitely be going back and reading book 1! Nick is in Chicago, working undercover as a bartender while gathering information on the local crime organization. During his undercover work he's made good friends and met an incredible woman, Angelo Cavallo. Since he knows he can't stay in Chicago he tries to stay away from her but before he leaves they have an incredible night of passion. A night that lead to promises and plans to meet up again soon. When things don't go exactly as planned, Nick pours himself into his job in an effort to forget her. When she shows up in his interrogation room he can't believe it. What she has to tell him will completely blow up his world! Don't miss this one. I highly recommend it.

Nick Farley, an FBI agent is working undercover at the bar The Dump in Chicago, IL as Nick Smith. After 6 months of being there, he is one week away from being done when he meets Angela Cavello, the hot brunette that caught his attention. Angela has a bucket list, according to her cousin, Eve, and having a one-night stand is on it and wonders if Nick would be willing! What neither Nick nor Angela expected was for their time together to be explosive. Nick confesses to Angela who he really is and wants her to follow him to New York City. After some interesting developments, Angela tells Nick that she wants to break up and won't be coming to NYC. What Nick doesn't know is that Angela is hiding a big problem and doesn't want Nick to get hurt. Fast forward almost 2 years later and Nick and Angela are brought back together in a big way. I just adored these characters. They were fun, sexy and seemed perfect for each other. The path these two had to go through to get back together was crazy. I was captivated by this story and could not put this down. The explosive ending was great....did not see that one coming. Their happy ending was perfect too! Overall a great story and I would highly recommend it!
