When a mysterious text message summons May Wexler to a biker bar in downtown New Orleans, she knows something is very wrong. Her sister has sent out an SOS, but when May gets there, she’s nowhere to be found and May is the one in trouble—she’s wearing pink espadrilles, she’s got a Chihuahua in her purse, and she’s in the middle of a shootout.

After tall, muscular Ozzie comes to her rescue, May has no choice but to follow him to safety. At the headquarters of his private security firm, the Bourbon Street Boys, she finds a refuge for the night—and the offer of a job. But it’s not long before a gun-toting stalker isn’t the only complication in May’s life: the more time she spends with Ozzie, the less she can deny that they’ve got some serious chemistry. A wrong number got her into this mess...Will it also get her the right guy?

My rating:

DNF @ 21%

Couldn't get past the fact it's written in first person POV—the heroine's POV. Books with his particular "narrative style" are always iffy with me, since it's rather limiting, while I prefer to have a "broader picture". But in this case, the narrator was also very annoying. Instead of a 29-year-old, she sounded more like a teenager and the fact she actually replied to multiple text messages from an unknown number, thinking it was her sister (even though the woman seemed to be acting out of character) and then went in person to a biker bar, because "her sister" told her to (dressed like a stupid blonde, to boot) was the proverbial last nail in this book's coffin.

And let's not even go into the hero-being-called-by-a-childlike-nickname territory.
