Alex is suddenly upgraded from meter maid to undercover officer, and she's determined prove that she can do real policework. The problem is that she's dealing with a suspect who's so hot and charming that she keeps forgetting he's the bad guy. It doesn't help that her partner is hot and charming and kind of a bad guy, too.Pleasant Lake P.D. is a romance/mystery full of humor. And a big dose of snark. I'm a big fan of snark. Most of the book is laugh-out-loud funny - and I mean all of it. Several times on each page. And on an iPhone, the pages aren't very big. There does come a point at which things take a darker turn, and the story is no longer one  big laugh-fest, but it doesn't turn into a tissue-fest. It's still funny, just not as hilarious as before.I only had one issue with the book and I'm not sure if it was an ebook-formatting issue or if it was deliberate, but there were several instances in which the rapid-fire dialogue ran together. It made for fun and interesting conversations, but they were a little more interesting than the author probably intended because it was hard to distinguish who was saying what. I had to go back and reread and keep track in my head to know who was talking.I'd recommend this book to anyone looking for a (mostly) light and fun romance or mystery.I received this book free from the author in exchange for an honest review.
