Snatched (Cocky Cops and Cons Book 2) Kindle Edition
It was just another crime scene and just another body as a turf war gripped the city but things take a shocking turn when Dr. Jake Tyler is abducted and the body stolen. Determined to restore his reputation and solve a crime without a body, Jake risks his life and career when he battles wits with the elusive and merciless head of an Irish crime family. Too stubborn to back down and take the loss, he’s determined to get answers and see justice served.
Sometimes, too much power is the hardest curse to break and Dilan O’Shea is trapped when his father goes into witness protection. Dilan’s devotion to his baby brother and fear for his family forces him into a life of deception and crime. The murder he’s determined to hide is the least dangerous of his secrets. It’s just another piece of the deadly high-stakes game Dilan’s playing when he snatches the snarky, hardheaded medical examiner.
Jake can’t keep his mind off the brutal mobster and the investigation gets complicated when they can’t stay out of each other’s way or keep their hands off each other. Dilan gets more than he bargained for and he has no choice but to trust a man he kidnapped at gunpoint. Can two men from opposite sides of the law solve a mystery together or will their inescapable passion cost them everything?
This is a stand-alone title but features characters from Throttled.

- Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2019This book was fast-paced, loaded with personal angst, full of sizzle and a great cast of characters. It doesn't get any better than that!
Jake and Dilan just did it for me. Both previously het and after meeting each other, they reminded me of a blind person struggling their way through a room they were unfamiliar with. You could just tell that there was something between them - I was rooting for these two from the first chapter. Their chemistry was amazing to read.
The basis of this story was exceptional. I loved how the flow worked from beginning to end. It kept you engaged throughout. I won't post any spoilers but you throw in cops, medical examiners and Irish mobsters and you got yourself a fantastic read. Although not needed, I still recommend reading "Throttle" first just because items from that book are mentioned in this one (it was good to see Wal and Marco again!).
So...…...let's hope the sassy minx Roan get's himself an HEA because he is truly an enigma! K. Sterling is an immediate 1-click for me, because she is just that good! You'll enjoy this book immensely!
- Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2019Jake is a coroner, just going about his job picking up another dead body. Just a day in the life, when him and his body are kidnapped.
Dilan is an Irish mob “boss”. He doesn’t really want the job but to protect his brother he’ll do whatever it takes. Including stealing a body that he thinks will incriminate his brother. Oh yea, and stealing the coroner too. He has a hole in his back that needed to be fixed up.
Dilan’s first kiss with a man shouldn’t have been with the man he snatched, and Jake’s first kiss with a man shouldn’t of been with the criminal he’d patched up. Shoulda, coulda, woulda. Their both in way over their heads.
So begins the saga of Jake and Dilan.
I adored these guys. Jake was a very practical man and a mob boss totally threw him off his game and right into the arms of love. Dilan was a cold, calculating man, except when it came to his family. I liked the insta-love (I’m a sucker for that). The characters were very well thought out and the story line was great. Then there’s Roan. I don’t think I’ve ever got so invested in a secondary character. He tried really hard to steal the book from Jake and Dilan. Can’t wait for his book.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2019I thought the love I had for Wal in Throttled could not be matched... And then K goes ahead and writes Snatched and suddenly I'm fan-girling like a fool over Dilon and Jake (and don't even get me started on Roan, OMG!).
Snatched will keep you engaged from the start, where you're thrown right into the action immediately. I love that this author assumes you're intelligent enough to follow along with the action and doesn't pull punches with the narrative. You can tell that K has spent time in this world and understands the nuances of crime, investigation, underworld figures and police procedures and her books read brilliantly as a result.
I adored the dynamics between Jake, our resident "good guy" and Dilon, the so-called, self-styled "bad guy". The way these characters interact, as their attraction and then relationship develops, is wonderfully honest and delightfully realised. Throw in the brilliant Roan, the ever incredible Wal, and a gamut of bad guys and you have a fantastic thriller romance that will keep you guessing as to who the real bad guy is and cheering on Jake and Dilon as their relationship deepens.
One hell of a fun read! I can't wait for Roan's book #grabbyhands
5/5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
- Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2019Fascinating story of the head of the Charles Hill Gang, Dilan O’Shea and Jake Tyler, Chief Medical Examiner for the police department - and what an exciting story it is! The story begins with Jake and his assistant picking up an unidentified body covered with a combination of shamrocks and Aryan themed tattoos. Then everything goes badly for Jake as he is snatched along with the body! This story will take you right into Dilan’s Irish mob world which is politics with deadly results. Enemies with hot lust for each other from the beginning each trying not to die. Exciting characters which will make you anxious to read the next book!
K. Sterling is an amazing writer who can make the worst villain a romantic figure along the way. Her books are always an immediate buy for me! I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book and purchased it for my library to support my author!
- Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2019I think this is a pretty good series. I really liked the two main characters in Throttled and I liked the three main characters in this book except that I was disappointed in the way Dilan and Roan treated men who were they were supposed to be close to. The children of one of the characters were god sons to Dilan (which to me is an extremely close relationship) but the author totally left the fate of that character out of the book. For what Dilan and Roan went through in their lives, I would have thought the author would make them be more aware of how they were treating others. Maybe a minor point, but it really bothered me. However, I am looking forward to Roan's story.

5.0 out of 5 stars She didn’t just snatch it, she smashed it!
So when did Ms Sterling become so hardboiled in her writing? For me, she is now quintessentially a noir-fiction writer and just rocked the hell out of this Series. This wasn’t Sterling silver but pure leprechaun gold!
DILAN O’SHEA - Head of the Clarks Hill Gang. He was also the Irish Shenanigator because if he played his shenanigans correctly, he and those he loved, may get a chance of their own HEAs.
ROAN O’SHEA - Underestimated brother to Dilan. He was also the Irish Chameleon because he was calm but always alert. Relaxed but always ready. Smooth but always sharp.
I would love to be able to say that Dilan O’Shea was not the vicious crime monster he was portrayed as, or the innovative drug supplier that he was also portrayed as, but I can’t. He was all those things and more.
And that just highlights the genius of the author, as she paired him with a ‘goodie’. A Medical Coroner in the name of Jake Tyler.
Their first meeting was interesting to say the least and one that Jake would never forget, because it involved a gun being pointed directly at him,a dead body, a trip to an illegal incinerator and a brush of lips!
With Wavy T gone, rival gangs are circling like sharks and getting ready for the kill. Can Dilan outcircle them and get himself, Jake and Roan to safety?
Of course he does, but you are going to have to read it yourselves to find out how against all odds, he did it. Or maybe it was just the luck of the Irish?
Loved it, loved it, loved it.
Five big fat shamrock stars from me 😁

4.0 out of 5 stars snatched
I liked seeing Jake’s story along with meeting Dilan. I still think Throttled is my favourite and I enjoyed seeing a little more of Wal.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sweet take on cop and mafia
I enjoyed Jake and Dilan’s story as they navigate through their careers and Family.
They tried so hard to resist and yet, couldn’t deny the feelings building up within.
I love Sterling’s writing. She takes characters you wouldn’t think work together and makes them work with a healthy dose of steam.
This book is funny and sweet with dashes of tension as Dilan tries exit his gang peaceably.
Recommend this book.
