Man Behind the Cop by Janice Kay Johnson (HSR 06 ’08)

Bruce and Karin meet when he (a Detective) comes to her counseling center to give a self-defense course.  When one of her clients is attacked by her ex, Bruce investigates and in doing so grows closer to Karin.  However, can Bruce a child of abuse ever move beyond his own childhood and accept a future with Karin or will the past trap him?  I love JKJ’s writing, in this story, she does an excellent job portraying the cycle of abuse and how our childhood affects our future.  In working as a Detective, Bruce is constantly faced with the issues of domestic abuse, so it is easy to see how difficult it must be to move forward.  Another Excellent Book, highly recommend. Totals – 90- 63 Harlequin, 19 Non-Harlequin, 8 audio, 3 re-read TBR Challenge – 14 out of 82 TBR2 Challenge – Books Acquired – 49 books, 52 books read, 30 library books (82 total print) NFM
