While I did enjoy the characters painted by the author, and liked the idea of big-city firefighter leaving for small town work due to his sexuality, I found the story... lacking somehow.Whether it was the poor sentence structure, or the spelling and grammar issues, I'm not sure. But its not a 5-star story for me.The characters were likeable, even if I found myself wanting to learn more about the subcharacters. I wish there had been more exposition on Max and Finn, but in a 79 page story, what can you do? Despite the grammar issues and my wariness as to how the suspense side of the plot panned out, it was a fun read, and the scenes between Max and Finn were wonderful to read, even if their initial interaction had me wondering if that was how people really acted. Funny, I really wanted to like this, but it was disappointing on too many levels. I liked the characters, but Finn - the cop - is written like somebody much younger (like a teenage boy) though it made me wonder if I just didn't remember what being 25 was all about; but if you are a cop and independent then I would think you would be more mature than that. I thought the writing was a little simplistic, but I saw potential. The sex scenes were just clunky and didn't work at all, but the biggest disappointment was who the bad guy is... that was sooooo predictable, I felt myself deflating when it was revealed; I wanted to be surprised, not find out that it was exactly who I thought it was. First in a series that I'll probably explore some more because like I said there was potential here and I want to know if the author came into her own later on, we live in hope.
What do You think about The Fireman And The Cop (2013)?
Another series where the first book is going to have me get all the others as soon as possible. :-)
