Review: Steamy (but not erotic) book with alpha-cop and strong heroine, decent plot, romance-lite
Rating: 4 out of 5

Story (name of the heroine in this book) has just been dumped by her fiance, two weeks prior to their wedding. The break up scene is great. Immediately you realize that Story can be a kick-butt, strong, independent woman. Liked her right away.She flies across the country (from San Diego to NYC) to be with her father who is in the hospital.Immediately she encounters a womanizing, Daniel. Turns out Daniel works with her father. Both cops.The first encounter is also great. Story is snarky, smart, sexy and shuts Daniel down.Daniel is super sexy, confident on the outside - dark and broken on the inside. Yes - the best combination for our sexy male lead.This book is super short, but packs some goodness inside. But at the end - felt like I wanted more. But just know that it is a short book and may leave you feeling a bit unsatisfied. I wanted to read more about them as a couple and maybe a nice epilogue. But the book may have been too short to warrant an epilogue.There is police drama. But the author makes Story so kick-butt strong that she is the one to save the day.Daniel's mix of confident sexy on the outside, vulnerable and broken on the inside makes him so much more desirable.The sex scenes are pretty hot. Daniel is definitely a take-charge, alpha-male in that department.This book was fun to read because it was entertaining, easy to read, both characters are very likeable (I love strong female leads, no whining, excessive crying, jumping to conclusions, etc).The dad plays a nice role in the book as well.Nice sweet happy ending. No cliffhanger.Great book to read if you need a quick, sweet, steamy, romance-lite book.I typically do not enjoy these short books, because I need more depth in the characters and plot, but this seemed to hit the spot.
