Well, It almost made it to a 5. Not quite!Frannie Vaughn was almost a good girl, having only 2 lovers.Malcolm Bridger almost made it as a bad boy. But he proved endearingly lovable.Just hate these stories that think it is almost good if there is sex before marrying. It seems like a good story will not sell well with almost a touch of morality??The characters are excellent - the mystery really good -- the situations very believable.Loved Bridger's family and his interplay with his nephew. We do need some women who are not afraid of the challenge of loving our "Men in Blue". How about [grin] some who pursue the uniform first and then fall for the man?Very, Very good plus except for their lack of restraint.Ah well, it takes all kinds!
Excellent story ~ Great Writing!

Whenever I begin a new book, whether a romance novel, mystery or other work of fiction, I always look for an interesting story, strong and/or likable characters and most of all good writing! This book has it ALL and more! As one of Silhouette's "Men In Blue" series, the plot involves a fascinating, somewhat stubborn police detective who falls in love with an unlikely heroine while desperately trying to solve a grisly crime. There is sadness, humor, tenderness and lots of passion! I found that the story flowed along seamlessly and held my interest to the very end.This is the first work by Linda Winstead Jones that I have read, and it certainly will not be the last!
EXCELLENT!!
