Tempted by the Badge by Deborah Fletcher Mello
The hero is a PI and the heroine is a high school teacher. So whose sexy badge are we talking about here?

The hero is a PI and the heroine is a high school teacher. So whose sexy badge are we talking about here?

If the author wants my $3.99 that badly, just start a GoFundMe or something.

Wait, this is supposed to be a romantic suspense?

There is a lot of pretending here, and the heroine buys all of it, and even loves the hero despite his pretenses. Sad, really.

Romance: pretty decent. Suspense: nope.

For a romantic suspense, it often causes me to forget that I’m supposed to be at the edge of my seat.

Wow, a suspense novel that is 100% devoid of descriptive elements!

This is what happens when you attempt to have a Harold Robbins novel that focuses on the story and not the sleaze.

The characters are old-school Jayne Ann Krentz-style, but the suspense is still on the boring side.

This is a polished “catch a serial killer, find a boyfriend” story, but it doesn’t grab me as much as I’d have liked.
