Title: Taylor’s Task (Kansas City Heat #4)
Author Name: Jenna Byrnes
Publication Date: November 28, 2014
A rapist changes his targets from hookers to reputable women. Can frightened townspeople rely on the KCPD to solve the crimes?
Detective Jeff Taylor of the KCPD Vice Squad is determined to nab the latest serial rapist preying on the city. As the violence escalates, murmurs of negligence plague the force. Tired of the accusations against the police, Jeff ramps up the investigation. With the members of the local neighborhood watch breathing down his neck, he and the Vice Squad are in a race to apprehend the suspect before anyone else is injured.
Reese Iverson owns the Cock and Bull British Pub, located in direct proximity to where the violence is occurring. Along with matching the reward money, he takes an active role in the neighborhood group. He also has his eye on Jeff, and his interest there is more than professional. Can they work together to solve the case or will their different methods drive them apart?
I really like that Jenna Byrnes made the two main characters so different but both are on the same side of thinking, even if their approach to it different.
Jeff is one of those people that says what he means and means what he says. He is straightforward and does not play games. He is that type of person in both his work and his private life. As far as his private life is concerned he does not like anyone knowing his business and that becomes a major issue for him and Reese becaus after they meet and start hooking up information that should not be made public is and information that should be only between the two of them is making its way out into the world.
Jeff starts to distrust Reese and starts to think he is the one that is betraying him and making not only their personal life harder but also Jeff’s job.
I really enjoy reading a book with couple issues with trust. It makes the read more believable then the books where couples meet, fall in love, and live happily ever after. The only thing I wish is this book would have been a little longer.

Jenna Byrnes could use more cabinet space and more hours in a day. She’d fill the kitchen with gadgets her husband purchases off TV and let him cook for her to his heart’s content. She’d breeze through the days adding hours of sleep, and more time for writing the hot, erotic romance she loves to read.
Jenna thinks everyone deserves a happy ending, and loves to provide as many of those as possible to her gay, lesbian and hetero characters. Her favorite quote, from a pro-gay billboard, is “Be careful who you hate. It may be someone you love.”
