While in general this was a nice story, there were things that just weren't realistic and it kept pulling me from the story. I realize it's fiction, and I can suspend reality for paranormals, but this was a contemporary and I just found myself thinking WTF a few times. This story is about two people who have met up several years after high school. Noel is a party planner. Luke is a cop. At a graduation party, they kissed, but it never went any farther than that. The kiss was apparently impressionable enough for neither of them to really let it go.So they've met up again. Noel moved back to town with her snake boyfriend. She's just caught him screwing a waitress at one of her events, and she's taken off in her car. And I guess she's driving a little erratically, but she ends up hitting a deer. And a bottle of whiskey in the car broke open in the wreck so now she smells like whiskey. And the police have arrived. Fortunately for her, it's Luke.I have issues with the story, but don't want to put in any spoilers. Let's just say that Luke was less than professional while on the job, and while I understand this is fiction and it was sweet that he was so overcome, it was just bad form and just kinda made me roll my eyes.It was an OK story. The sex wasn't super steamy... while it was sweet they had this history, I just didn't feel the heat. But it was OK.
