Review: Really Great Start Leads to Just an Okay Ending
Rating: 3 out of 5

This story started out really great.  Jade is a waitress on the night shift at a coffee shop, and Alex is an officer who gets coffee there regularly. They've been flirting for weeks before a co-worker lets Alex know that Jade has a crush on him. As he is attracted to her, they start dating soon after. The relationship between them moves very quickly, but it works for a short story. Unfortunately, the author felt the need to throw in an ex from Alex's past who is in the story just long enough to make you question Alex's integrity, but not long enough to actually add meaningfully to the plot.There are some pretty vividly described sex scenes, but I found that, while the first one added to the story, the last one almost seemed like it was thrown in just to add more sex. I like the author's style and have enjoyed other books by her, but while this was an entertaining read, the last third of it took away from the momentum that started the story. If the whole thing with the ex could be removed, this would have been a much better read.
