I finished reading True Blue and was unsure whether or not I would like this book. In the previous book, Bruce Prentice struck me as a cop that puts his job before people. He was not a real likable secondary character, but he makes a good leading man in True Blue. Ingrid Weaver stayed true to Bruce's character as a cop who puts his job above everything and everyone else. In this book, however, we find out why he has become the man that he is. This is not a man without feelings, but a man who feels deeply and has suffered a great deal.Emma Cassidy has also suffered in her life and has had the added burden of raising her brother Simon. Unfortunately, Emma does not trust cops and Bruce doesn't trust Emma. And right now they are both on the opposite sides of the law. Simon has gotten himself involved in illegal activity. It is Bruce's job as an undercover agent to get all the information he can and stop it. Bruce wants to believe that Emma is not involved in the illegal activity with her brother, but he can not be sure. Emma feels it is her responsibility to help get her brother out of trouble no matter what the danger is to herself. Even with their many differences they find themselves drawn to each other. They try hard to fight their attraction and the danger that surrounds them. This is a story of two individuals who could not be more different yet have so many things in common. A common theme throughout this book would have to be that, `we do not have any choice over the people that we love'. Emma and Bruce can fight it all they want, but the love is there. This is a story about two people willing to face the truth about themselves and their pasts, so that they might have a chance at a future.
