“You have something we want. We have something you want.”
Gabriella has never forgiven her former fiancé, homicide detective Eli Cavazos, for breaking her heart. But she’s determined to move on with her life, putting all of her energy into her restaurant. Then a man she’s never met shows up at her door, a bullet in his chest and her brother’s name on his lips. Gabby soon realizes this man is connected to a powerful ring of criminals who know far too much about her.
Against her better judgment, Gabby turns to Eli for help in finding her brother. When she receives a cryptic text from her brother’s cell phone, she realizes she is in deep and may be dragging Eli down with her. With her brother nowhere to be found and pain from her past threatening to overwhelm her, Gabby wonders how she will make it through this unexpected quest unscathed–or alive.
Taking us into the heat of Laredo, Texas, the secrets of a gun-smuggling ring, and the tensions on both sides of the border, Over the Line will keep you guessing until the last page.

Summary
Over the Line by Kelly Irvin is a romantic suspense. Gabby is a retired DA who now runs a restaurant. The story opens with a young man’s death who mentions her brother. She and her ex-boyfriend go on a quest to find her FBI brother. He had been working a case and they think it is all related.
Gabby’s ex is a homicide detective. Both Gabby and Eli have lots of baggage.
A few of the side characters were a great addition to the story. Natalie is Gabby’s sister and quite frankly I liked her as much or more than Gabby. Natalie has some of her own challenges but appears to be stronger than Gabby. Brenton was a reporter that I ended up liking because of his interactions with Natalie.
The story was relevant for today’s issues. The author was able to provide a surprise or two. My only recommendation would have been to add some humor or good moments. The entire book seemed to be negative; mostly because of Gabby and her issues. Natalie was able to add what humor was in the book; like the wheel chair races.
Sexual content. Kissing hugging,
Violence - nothing descriptive but people die, kidnapped, tortured behind the scenes.
Drinking - mention of others drinking, damage from drinking and driving,
I received this book from Netgalley. I was not required to write a positive review.
