One look at Annabelle Stevens and no one would ever know she’s a top Assistant US Attorney. When a new boss assigns her to an elite DEA-led task force, she’s put in close proximity to the one man she can’t shake: Connor Evans. For years, she’s been in love with him, and for years, he’s played yo-yo with her heart.
Abandoned by his parents, tossed around from one foster home to the next until his best friend’s family took him in, Connor Evans is the proverbial bad boy with a badge. For more than ten years, he’s kept Annabelle at a distance, convinced that his kind of screwed-up doesn’t belong anywhere near her.
When one case muddles the line between personal and professional, mistakes are made. Connor has no choice but to step up if he wants to win her trust and her heart back.

Perception, book two in Kaithlin Shepherds Brass Series, this time forcusing on Annabelle and Connor's story.
Annabelle Stevens is an Assistant US Attorney who is assigned to an elite DEA-led taskforce by her new boss, putting in close proximity with the one man she can’t shake...Connor Evans. For years, she’s been in love with him, and for years, he’s played yo-yo with her heart.

When one case muddles the line between personal and professional, mistakes are made. Connor has no choice but to step up if he wants to win her trust and her heart back.
Although this was an enjoyable read and one that I would recommend to other readers who enjoyed book one in the series, for me personally, I felt the plot lacked depth. It's classed as romantic suspense, but for me the suspense part fell a little flat with no real development and left me with a lot of unanswered questions which is a shame, as all the ingredients and potential are there; it just seemed to lack the balance and centered more on the romance side which at times was a little repetitive. That being said I still found myself turning the pages.

Kaithlin Shepherd is the author of The Callaway Series, The Brass Series and The Saints and Sinners series.
Born and raised in Canada by a working single mom and a loving grandmother, Kaithlin surrounded herself with novels by Danielle Steele and Nora Roberts provided by her grandmother. Kaithlin quickly fell in love with reading. It was in high school, thanks to an English teacher, that Kaithlin wrote her first story (although if you ask for it, she will deny ever writing it) about a popular boy band. Inspired by constructive criticism, Kaithlin spent some time developing her love affair with words through more reading than someone would think possible.
After pursuing a higher education, Kaithlin, sat down with a pen and paper and decided to give writing a shot. With no false hope in mind, her first novel, Make Me Whole, slowly came to life. Putting fear and doubt aside, Kaithlin has published five books to date, and has eleven more set to be published in the next two years.
