Publisher Description
Kate Jarrett has been around the block a few times, her life nothing more than a trail of failures. After her father dies, she inherits the family bar, a place where she's accepted for who she is and loved for who she's not. Due to the location of her new establishment, a few friends from her past make themselves welcome and death shows up at her door.
Jon Peterson is a seasoned officer for the NYPD, his record clean and eyes set on being the youngest captain in the history of the force. When his little brother, Adam, turns up dead at a bar in the seedy side of town, Jon's focus shifts. Is Kate involved in what happened to Adam or a pawn in a much larger game? Not interested in drama and hell-bent on justice mixed with revenge, Jon finds the one thing he never wanted - love.
Recommended for 18+ due to language and sexual content.

Rough and Gritty
4.5 star review of Blood Money (Bad Money #1) by Ali Parker
I received this book in exchange for an honest review.
This was a new author to me and one I will be reading more from the first chance I get. Be warned that this is book one in the series and does end on a cliff hanger.
This is the story of Kate Jarrett, a tough woman who has had a very colourful past to say the least. Her hero is Jon Peterson a detective with the NOPD who is determined to make it to the top of his profession. The last thing either of them wants is to be attracted to each other.
When tragedy strikes and Jon’s younger brother Adam is murdered, he begins an investigation, starting with the woman who he believes might have murdered him. Kate is the owner of the bar in the not so nice part of town where Adam is shot and subsequently died.
It was interesting to see how Ms. Parker developed the relationship between Jon and Kate. Although I must say it did appear rather rushed but having said that, this is a work of fiction and for me I read to escape reality so it was not that big of a deal to me.
This book was gritty and at times quite edgy and I found myself reading anxiously to find out what happens next. Of course that was before I realised that there was a cliff hanger. On the positive the next book is available and I will be reading that next so I don’t have to wait too long to find out what happens next.
The book does cover subject matter not to my taste, but it was handled well and not just for sensationalism but for content and was absolutely necessary to the storyline. I was also surprised by how she concluded book one and I cannot wait to read.
