Calling on Quinn

Calling on Quinn


The Blackhart Brothers, Book 1

by Blue Saffire


⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5

Quinn Blackhart, as the head of his family PI firm, is used to calling the shots and getting results. Known as the family fixer, he is a man of action and doesn’t stop until he gets the desired outcome… so when Alicia brushes him off, he doubles down on his efforts. The chance encounter with his niece’s driving instructor has thrown him for a look and he won’t rest until she admits its done the same to her!

Alicia Rhodes is recently out of an emotionally abusive relationship and is working on getting financially stable again after her friends mismanagement coasts her her home. She doesn’t have time for a new man - she needs to work on her self. But when strange occurrences keep putting her in danger, her new man, Quinn is the only one she can turn to for help. 

This was. Romantic suspense that wraps around both characters like a scarf- puling them tightly together. I enjoed the mystery aspect of the suspense and was surprised by the resolution ini the end. 

The character of Alicia has been emotionally abused and manipulated by her former partner and her best friend. She has major self-esteem issues, but hero Quinn is extremely supportive and handles her with kid gloves until she is more comfortable in her own skin and can see the gaslighting for what it was.

The book got pretty steamy when these two finally come together with some hot and sexy scenes. The sparks between them leap off the page!

The end of the book wraps up the story of Quinn and Alicia very nicely while setting up the opening of the next book in the series, In Deep, about Kevin Blackhart and Danita Moralez.



Calling on Quinn by Blue Saffire was released in February 2020.
