Looking at the cover art I wasn't sure how professional this book would be but I hate to judge a book by its cover, and I'm glad I gave it a chance.As well as being well-written, this was a decent Cop/suspense romance with an interesting relationship dynamic. I liked that the main characters were flawed human beings all dealing with their own demons - even Heather who Stark thinks of as an innocent but who has been looking after her alcoholic father since early childhood. The romance is not all "moonlight and roses" - so more realistic than most - and there are some good steamy sex scenes.My only criticisms are that I felt more could have been made of the suspense elements - there wasn't much mystery and you can pretty much see it coming a mile away - and I think the author could have explored the relationship in even more detail, as it is clear that overcoming their demons and character flaws will not make for an easy HEA.
