This book reeled me in from go. As different as Jackson and Marti were, I liked them as a couple and found Jackson's attraction and devotion to his woman really sweet and very sexy. I actually found the role-playing games Jackson and Marti were experimenting with in the beginning super hot and was hoping for a lot more of that throughout the book. However, the book goes donwn a completely different path when Jackson asks Marti to marry him and she flat out turns him down. When he questions her refusal, she comes up with this lame excuse involving a sexual bucket list she needs to complete before she can get married. Jackson loves Marti so much that he's willing to do just about anything to keep her - including sharing her with his best friends/brothers on the police force. What happens next is a series of kinky sexual escapades all planned out by Jackson for Marti's benefit. Each one is dirtier than the last and Marti goes along with each and every scenario Jackson can think up. By the end of the book Marti realizes she doesn't want a future without Jackson in it and accepts his second attempt at a marriage proposal. Jackson and Marti get their HEA and the book is wrapped up in a pretty little bow. This book is only around 100 pages which makes for a quick and easy read but at the same time makes it hard for the author to develop the characters in a deep way. I read through this book in one sitting and found it entertaining but as far as erotic romance novels/novellas I've deffinatley had better. That's not to say I won't read the remaining 3 books in the series. I just wish the author had spent more time developing Jackson and Marti's relationship before bringing in other people into the mix. Not that I didn't enjoy the hell out of the scenes involving Marti and Jackson's friends, but I wanted more with jus the two of them. I think more than anything this book lacked depth and originality. Still, I liked it enough that I plan on reading the other books in this series as well. This book has all three items I love when reading erotica...hot sex scenes, believable characters and angood romance. Jackson and Marti seem to be perfect for each other. But when Martin first tells Jackson "no" to marriage, it seems puzzling. But when Martin produces a list of sexual adventures she wants to do before settling, Jackson nae his fellow officers are willing to fulfil them so she will say yes. The camaraderie betwwen the guys is realistic and fun...some lines are laugh out loud funny. But at its heart this is a good love story. Five stars.
