Quake is a hard book to rate as it felt like several books pieced together. First part almost reads like a dark romance with an over-sexed stalker. By mid-book it turned into regular "dating with dark secrets" romance, then suddenly near the end it turned into suspense when the FMC was kidnapped and MMC have to mount a rescue. Then it ended up a bit of a cliffhanger...
Kyle is a retired cop turn P.I., and while investigating a different case with hidden cameras he had a chance to observe college student Janny Moore (without her knowing) and he quickly developed an obsession with her, and he vowed to woo her in every way... but when he had to reveal HOW did he knew her, will that drive her into his arms, or drive her away for good?
As I said before the first part of the book was Kyle constantly thinking about his dick (which was NOT a pun about him being a private dick) and how he really really want to bonk the FMC, Janna, senseless having watched her too many times, in various states of dress (and undress) when he's supposed to be watching her brother. But when he meets Janna for real, he's a perfect gentleman who made her very happy, right up to the point when he must tell the truth ahead of schedule. Then it switched gear into suspense and rescue. The personalities don't fit together.
