There's nothing 'thin' about my blue line, if you catch my drift, and trust me, I know how to put those handcuffs to good use.

This review was originally posted on Cocktails and Books

This was a fun book.  I always like when the big alpha male falls, and falls hard, for the one woman that should appeal to him.

Chase is the playboy cop who doesn't ever think he'll get married, so he plays the field.  Livia is a woman who's convinced the world is going to end at 30 if she doesn't have a baby.  After a chance meeting at a high school protest, Chase and Livia find that working towards one of Livia's goals is a lot of fun.

These two were fun.  It was apparent, from their first meeting, that the sparks were going to fly.  The authors didn't disappoint us with their development either.  There was so much more to this relationship than the sex and what should have been a means to an end became so much more than Chase and Livia were hoping for.

There's a little bit of everything for readers.  There's laughter, lots of sexy time, and those angsty moments that tied this book up into the ultimate pool afternoon read.

This cover is SMOKIN' HOT. Honestly, who cares about the rest. That said it is also a fabulous representation of the hero. Has great composition and interesting title work.

"Note to self, see if Livia is willing to play Sexy Librarian after we play Find the Nightstick."

I am conflicted over this one. I enjoyed it hence the 4-Stars, but I struggled with the set up a bit. Especially for the first half of the book. I didn't find it particularly romantic. Especially a hero that can be OK with signing away his rights to his own child without even giving it more than five minutes of consideration. I mean it's a human life we are talking about not a goldfish! I think a decent human being would at least have considered it for more than the five minutes he did. It pretty much sat in the back of my mind for the entire book. I also got tired of the constant reminders of his manwhore ways. I've said this before, but I am a smart person. You tell me he is a manwhore ONCE I can retain that info through the entire book. I do not need to be constantly hit over the head with reminders. I get it, he is known by EVERYONE as officer "GOOD TIMES" I didn't need that repeated to me over and over again. For ME as a reader that hinders my ability to form a connection with the hero/heroine. Particularly when I was already having trouble feeling anything more than a sexual relationship between these two because of the way the plot was set up.



NOW, having said that the book did have a lot of good going for it as well. It was fantastically well written. You would never be able to guess there were two different authors writing it. The pace was fairly good. Some parts felt a little slow, but nothing that led to me feeling the need to skim. The sex scenes were plentiful and smokin' hot. There was no OW/OM drama, and I didn't find it particularly drama-filled. There was some very amusing laugh out loud moments and two (for the most part) likable main characters. I would have liked to have seen more depth to Livia's character or more background depth I guess. She swears off men but her reasons for doing so seem a bit vague and a bit over the top for the info we are given. Chases' reasons for being the way he was were more understandable. Lastly, it's all wrapped up with a pretty sweet epilogue one year on.

So a little bit of a mixed bag but in the end, the good did outweigh the annoying so two thumbs up from yours truly.
