Reviews:
Judy (USA: AZ) (2012/11/15): The Rookie’s Assignment by Valerie Hansen Fitzgerald Bay Book 2 Keira Fitzgerald is the youngest of the Fitzgerald clan. And a rookie on the police force.

When a newcomer joins in to help solve Olivia Henry’s murder case Keira gets to partner with him, someone who isn’t family and teaches her to be better at her job. Now if she could just remember to focus on her job instead of her handsome partner.
Detective Nick Delfino is good at his job. He knows that when people find out why he is really there that they immediately dislike him but that’s okay. He’s a loner and don’t need anyone. Well he didn’t think he did until he finds himself struggling with wanting to tell his beautiful new partner who he really is, even though she’ll hate him for it afterward.
This second book takes us on another adventure as trouble follows Nick to Fiztgerald Bay. They don’t seem to get any closer to solving the murder or clearing Charles Fitzgerald of the crime but it seems they have a new crime to solve. We get a better glimpse into some of the other characters lives as well and their stories are going to be told in the next books. The third book in this Love Inspired series is The Detective’s Daughter by Rachelle McCalla. You’ll want to read these in order to get all the ground work down and maybe even become a sleuth yourself and figure out why Olivia was murdered and by who. http://justjudysjumbles.blogspot.com/2011/09/valerie-hansen-booklist.html
