Review: Firemen, gnomes, and dastardly villains
Rating: 5 out of 5

It's nothing new. An alpha male, a slightly insecure even though she's hot woman, meddling neighbors, embarrassing children, a mystery plot to keep things interesting. The story has a real warmth to it, though, which is what saves it from being trite. I usually pass on stories involving children (authors like to make them sick or injured and it annoys me), but they made the story what it is. The heroine always remembers she's a mother, too, unlike so many others who only have children around when the plot requires it.For a book that starts in a sex shop and details the many varieties of pseudo penises, the sex scenes in the book are surprisingly infrequent and (aside from the first encounter) rather glossed over. I admit to hoping the scenes would be hotter than they were, but I liked the male lead and gnomes enough to overlook it.
