I really appreciate that when I attempted to search for Disorderly Conduct Goodreads assumed I meant a book about Victorian conceptions of gender. No, Goodreads. I'm not actually that intellectual. This Disorderly Conduct is exactly what one would expect from a Tessa Bailey read - vaguely cartoonish characters, lots of possessive angsting on the part of the hero, and a ton of dirty talk.
It was a really nice story with amazing characters. Some scenes were a little bit cringe but it was still amazing.
I think 3.65 is a totally accurate review score for this book. For me as a reader it had too much angst for my taste, yes it has an HEA but it takes a long time for them to actually admit their feelings. It's okay, I enjoyed reading it and it made me laugh, but I kept looking at the percentage read and thinking - they still aren't together? Like it just seemed to take too long for my liking.
Things I enjoyed - that it wasn't instalove, the sexy time was hot, the dirty talk was excellent, and that neither of them gave up their dreams for the other one.
The writing style is very bro-like/frat style, and at the beginning of the story I was unsure if I would be able to stick it out but after a while I got used to it and stopped being annoyed by it. Overall I am still on the fence if I'd recommend this one.

Not quite 4 star, something is missing - likely the mystery, edge of seat moments. Liked Ever and her reactions to people and situations felt relatable.
I tried so hard to like the hero, but it just wasn't possible. At the beginning he seemed so promising, but it completely went to shit the moment he opened that dating profile. I was prepared to chalk up the speed dating fiasco as "shenanigans", but the dating profile was the line for me. He was such a manipulative, selfish douchebag, and the heroine deserved waaaaay better.
Audiobook
Cute premise of them both figuring out how they both want more from each other after a background of poor role models re romance.
I don't love the miscommunication trope so I couldn't really get into it but it was an enjoyable none the less.
Good amount of spice

Ever is a young woman who has been taught by her mother that she should be an independent woman and that relationships with men are only for “fun”.
Charlie is a young man in the police academy that has been taught by his father that police officers are married to their job that there is no room for real relationships.
A no strings “fun” relationship between the two is the perfect fix. Right? Wrong.
Ever comes to the decision to look for serious relationships after her mother confesses to her that she regrets living life with unfulfilled relationships and wants better for her daughter. Charlie who is not looking for a serious relationship is upset that Ever no longer wants to commit to their no strings attached relationship and start to date other men seriously.
It was funny to see Charlie come to terms with himself and his feelings for Ever while sabotaging her dates with other men.
While this is not my favorite Tessa Bailey book, it isn’t too bad. If you are a fan of hers, I would give it a read, but I personally preferred Hook, Line and Sinker and My Killer Vacation.

I thoroughly enjoyed Disorderly Conduct and cannot wait to read the other books in the series. It was the right mix of angst and sexy times. I definitely recommend it.
