Review: Love/hate relationship with this book.
Rating: 4 out of 5

** spoiler alert **I enjoyed Arrested by Love very much, though I did have some personal issues with each of three storylines (Hence the four-star rating I gave). Each story was well-written with hot, kinky scenes that would undoubtedly fascinate any erotica reader. If you're looking for a fun, fast-paced read with some hot couples, then this is a book that will give you that.Here are a few more insights, separated by book.COPPING TO ITI totally believed Claire's kinky side and her reluctance to show it, as well as her timid behavior when Ty suggested a threesome. But my problem with this story was when Ty and Claire chose to stay and have sex (not once, but twice) instead of removing themselves from a potentially dangerous situation. And he's a cop. Need I say more?COP APPEALLuke and Sarah were my favorite couple. It was easy to believe that they cared for each other, though I never quite grasped the concept of WHY she actually left Luke for another cop. The reason given in the book just didn't ring true for me and wasn't enough to convince me.COPPING ATTITUDEThis story was my least favorite, though I thought the storyline had great potential. She posed nude in the past, but after being attacked and raped, she is now scared of men and sex. Totally believable. But the speed in which she got over her fear was quite the opposite for me. The fear seemed real in the beginning, but then it seemed like a flip switched and all the fear disappeared, which seemed almost odd to me. Also, Jenna's friend seemed like a completely unnecessary character in this story.My biggest problem with each of these stories mostly stem from how many times the males in each story climax. Unless he's superman or a freak of nature, that part alone left me feeling frustrated with the level of believability. But I did enjoy all three books and would happily read each of them again. This isn't the first Virna DePaul book I've read and it definitely won't be my last!
