Hot and potent is apparently what a voice like hot whiskey is like, as described in Night Shift, book 1 of Nora Roberts' Night Tales Series. Originally published in the early 1990's, the first two books have been repackaged in a two-for-one special entitled, Exposed (2016).Night time DJ Cilla O'Roarke with the hot whiskey voice is being threatened by a sinister caller. Detective Boyd Fletcher is assigned to protect her. His attraction to Cilla is instantaneous and he has no problem letting her know of his desire to protect and pursue her.
Insecure due to her failed marriage, embittered by her parents' deaths, focused on her work, and dedicated to supporting her younger sister, Cilla rejects Boyd's advances at first. But Boyd is unrelenting, as is Cilla's attraction to Boyd.
What follows is a satisfying romance with a bit of mystery and suspense, though Boyd's approach to wooing Cilla may seem problematic to some today.
