ARRESTED BY LOVE"Arrested by Love" by Virna DePaul is a LoveSwept Publishing Company contemporary erotic romance that I received a copy in exchange for an HONEST review.  Girls, get out the fans - it's a hot one!  At $2.99 this is a great deal for the Kindle -- it is actually three novellas within the book.  All three are linked by the male characters in it, and as you can figure from the handcuffs on the cover, law enforcement is involved.  The other thing that is involved in 2 of the 3 novellas is a menage - so if that is off-putting to you, this may not be the best choice.  You're warned.From reading the author bio, I see that Virna DePaul is a former prosecuting attorney, and you can tell from the concepts of these stories.  The best part of these books (okay, the best thing AFTER the sex scenes) is that you also get a taste of what law enforcement has to deal with on a daily basis.  In "Copping To It", Claire & Ty explore some of the darker aspects of her sexuality while showing exactly how far some journalists and cops are willing to go to stay undercover.  (Um, no.  No pun intended.  Or well, hey - sure, it was intended because actually it ends up being pretty good LOL!!)  The second novella, "Cop Appeal", features Sarah and Luke, lovers who missed their chance four years back.  Sarah ended up marrying another cop, divorcing him after his violent tendencies erupted and then being stalked by him.  Again - smokin' sex scenes between Sarah & Luke... a menage... and some insights into why police would want to be Internal Affairs officers.  The third & final novella, titled "Copping Attitude" is really great, especially as it delves into the touchy issue of surviving a sexual assault.  Questions are broached about why someone would think a certain person might "deserve" to be assaulted and how to get past those societal condemnations.The only complaint I would have about this book is that the third novella seemed a bit "rushed" at the end to come to a final conclusion.  Dropping her vendetta against the judge just seemed really abrupt and was tied up rather quickly that if I'd have blinked I probably would have missed it.Great beach read... but even better for the nightstand so that you can turn out the light and turn on the hubby (or BOB - LOL!).
