Let’s do a calendar, they said. It’ll be fun, they said.
Well, they—i.e. Kilgore Police Department’s public relations specialists—were wrong.
Now, every time Dax Tremaine walks around a corner, the women of Kilgore, Texas can’t help calling him Mr. January.
Mr. January, can you fix my flat tire? Mr. January, can you cuff me? Mr. January, can you sign my boob?
It goes from bad to worse when even on a SWAT call, the women won’t stay away.

It was the worst time of her life. Rowen Roberts had finally admitted to herself that the man she loved would never love her back. She was just fired from her job for violating client confidentiality, and to make matters worse, she’s held up at gunpoint in a convenience store where she only wanted some ice cream to help mask the pain.
The moment the gun is pressed to her forehead, she knows she has a decision to make. Follow the rules and maybe possibly live, or go down swinging where at least she can salvage just a little bit of her dignity.
And when Mr. January himself tells her to do what the gunman says, she’s had enough. Rowen has never really been a girl that does what she’s told. Mr. January won’t have to save her. She can dang well save herself.
After Rowan graduated from law school, she had dreams for her future and that included convincing the man she had been crushing on that they should be together and having the company where she has been articling offer her a permanent position. When both plans go up in smoke, she decides to head back home to be close to her friends and family.
Dax is a member of the SWAT team who loves his job and the people he works with. When he is convinced to take part in a calendar, he can’t say no, but he never expected the unwanted reactions it would bring to his life.
The first time that Rowan and Dax run into each other it is a coincidence but when it continues to happen it must be fate and when they are together they definitely bring the heat and humor but when life gives them challenges will they be able to overcome?
I really enjoyed these two characters as Dax is so supportive and protective while Rowan just takes what life throws at her and rebounds. Together they prove that they are a force to be reckoned with.
