Before I start I should say this is my first Brazen read from Entangled. I requested an opportunity to read and review so I could get a taste of the series. I have read some Blaze from Harlequin which I assume from the website would be equivalent heat level.First of all, the smexy did not disappoint. It was all very well done, explicit without being 'nasty'. Quite a good level for someone who likes it hot without being overly crude. A couple of instances did have me raising eyebrows about some minor practicalities but hey this isn't a scientific treatise. Suspension of disbelief was engaged early in the peace.The plot required quite a lot of suspension of disbelief. Mostly around the activities of the hero in his role as the Detective investigating the murder our heroine stumbles across. Shall we say he was less than professional and with all the blood rushing below the belt it's not surprising he missed a few clues. The heroine had a TSTL moment which fortunately extended the plot by another fifty pages where most of the character development happened.Now before you throw up your hands, I will say this is an enjoyable read. The authors debut book prior to this was remarked as very humorous and it's clear this is where her forte lies. Light fluffy romance with lots of hot smex. At times it did seem like the plot was just a loose framework to hang as many opportunities for the smex to happen. Not that there is anything wrong with that if you like that style of read. But the thought occurred to me as I was reading so I mention it here.
