Blurb
After surviving two brutal attacks that nearly killed him, Bradley Danforth was determined to put them behind him and move on with his life. He moved into a new house on the other side of town and made a new resolve to live his life to the fullest. Only, Bradley can’t seem to get the one person out of his mind who let him down the most, Max Donohue. When he starts receiving threatening messages, Max is the first person Bradley turns to for help.
Max is a homicide detective who quickly learned that the job is about more than catching the bad guy and being a hero. When he’s assigned a cold case he’d rather leave alone. Max knows he must face a past he buried a long time ago so he can close it once and for all. Max is soon immersed in more than just a murder as he discovers evidence of corruption and a massive cover up. The combination of working the cold case and battling his demons is enough to send Max into a downward spiral, but when Bradley comes to him for help, Max finds the strength to do whatever he can to keep him safe.
Will Max step up to the challenge he failed to overcome before, or will someone succeed in ending Bradley’s life once and for all?
With a Friend’s Strength is the second installment of the Badge and Bullets series featuring the same two characters. It is a suspenseful murder mystery that depicts detailed crimes, strong language, and adult situations. While this series will include a romance, it’s a slow burn that develops throughout the series.

Review
My Rating - 5 Stars!
With a Friend's Strength is the second book in Brittany Cournoyer's amazing Badge and Bullets series.
First, let's all take a moment to enjoy this beautiful cover! Seriously, just damn!
As for the story, if you like suspense mixed with your romance, you will love it.
Max is assigned to investigate a cold case. Unfortunately, the case has him facing a tragedy from his past. This part is so damn sad, as his struggles are emotional and realistic.
Bradley's an accountant, which is fun. We don't get enough stories with ordinary people in ordinary professions. Unfortunately for this accountant, he seems to have developed a stalker.
Someone's after Bradley, which is bad enough, but add in Max's search for a killer, and the stakes are raised. Although a thriller and suspense, the author excels in the art of subtle humor. Their story is an emotional ride full of intrigue, action, and danger. The men deal with regrets and a fight for justice.
I shed many tears with the cold case. The execution of this mystery is perfectly done. Not just well done on it's own, it's also amazingly weaved into Bradley's stalker storyline.
Overall, With a Friend's Strength is fantastic and I can't recommend it enough. Brittany Cournoyer is an automatic read for me. If you haven't read any of her books yet, what are you waiting for?
