Review: Steamy romance, with a cop who was a bit too controlling for my tastes.

Jake is a cop, and met Amy, a teacher, while working at the school for DARE.  They are both in their late 30's, she is divorced with a kid, he has never married.  Jake is so controlling with Amy in the first scene, that for a second I thought I hadn't bought a romance.  To be honest, he is a little too much for me at times, and if I'd ever had a man talk to me like that in real life, I would've walked away.  But, as the relationship develops between them, he becomes more tender.  Amy insists that she can't get involved with Jake because he is a cop, and she has a fear of cops dying.  He convinces her to be secret "sex buddies" and no one will know.  Jake's control/domination is all verbal "do this, do that" not physical in a spanking or other sex game way. They have several steamy encounters, but begin to build a relationship also.  This is a romance, because there is a HEA.This is a quick read, only 983 kindle locations.  The title is a bit misleading, as there isn't really any blackmail.  This was the second story I read by author Lynda Chance.  Both books contained controlling males, but I preferred the control, the male, and the love story in her novelUnder the Cowboy's Control (Contemporary Western Romance, Texas).  Under the Cowboy's Control is also much longer, at 2416 locations.
