I do not say this often--I will push through just about any book--but I found this one, just agonizing.
The writing is fine.
The narrators were great.
I just. . . the obstacles were entirely stupid and forced, and the main character is just . . . hair lullingly annoying and ridiculous. There is zero self awareness in her and after her third (or fourth, or fifth, or. . . ) "I don't want to get hurt" lame ass excuse, I tore my headphones off and deleted this book.

you know, this wasn't that bad. it was funny and not horrible, like i thought it would be
short but yeah a light read indeed
there's not much to say, i guess that the thing i liked the most is that the mc wants to have a kid, and she doesn't have any old fashioned idea that women are only complete once they have a kid, she decides this for herself and never says anything like that.
i can't rate it more bc it was short and not much of a story or development, but it had the potential, it could've been a longer story, and by the looks of it it could've been great.

I enjoyed this book. I honestly would have given it a higher rating if it wasn't for the annoying "useless after 30" theme. I get it, the FMC is 29 and she thinks her life is going to be over when she turns 30 because that's when you "start to slowly die".... As a 39 year old woman, I find this whole mentality incredibly offensive. There were also a lot of comments about needing to have a baby before she turns 30 because being "old" and having babies is not ideal or something along those lines. I honestly blocked out a lot of that ageist crap so I don't remember exactly what was said, I just remember feeling completely excluded from the audience because I'm not in my 20's. This is part of the character's neurosis that grows into acceptance of turning 30 but it's still annoying as fuck. The only reason I enjoyed this book so much is because Chase is written SO WELL. Finally, a book that celebrates the sexiness of CONSENT. Chase is a breath of fresh air in a clusterfuck of alpha-male led romances. I actually really loved the dynamic between the two main characters. Even though the baby plot is kind of ridiculous and something I can't relate to, I genuinely enjoyed their chemistry. This gets a bonus star for all the hot smut, really well written sexy times. A+
Super fun and sexy read! I enjoyed reading this very much! 😊

Everyone has a weakness. My weakness is men in a very specific uniform: cops. I’m not sure how to describe my attraction to police officers – it is something between a teenager girl flinging her bra at a rock concert and a woman in her prime looking at a man with a child. It is primal. Something I cannot control. A rather Freudian response in the eyes of many, whilst also managing to be a bit of a female cliché. Nevertheless, there is something hot about a man in uniform.
Thus, I’m always happy to jump into cop stories. Be it mystery novels or romantic novels, if we’re dealing with cops, I’m there.
Hot Cop begged to be read from the moment I saw it. The title screams out to me, the cover left my eyes rolling back in my head, and the synopsis had me feeling all kinds of different things. When I found out I was receiving an advance reader copy – well, I died a little. I was so happy. I squealed, I informed people, and I had to force myself to calm down enough to give this one all the attention it deserved.
Because hot damn – it was a brilliant read.
If I were the kind of reviewer to share gifs, you would have nothing but a long list of hop cop gifs right now. This one leaves you wanting your own hot cop, checking out every police cruiser that drivers by, and questioning how conceivable it is to get a job at the local library in the hope of recreating this book. Because I would. I would so recreate this in my life if I could. It is wonderful in so many ways; it is a wonderful read that leaves you gripped throughout. It’s a book that will stay with me for a long time – a book that has given me enough feels to dim the next few books I decide to read, as I know whatever I read next will pale in comparison to Hot Cop.
Although you know from the start how this one is going to end, such a thing fails to have a negative impact upon the story. I find with romance books of this ilk that it’s all about the journey. You go in expecting a happily ever after, what you want to experience is how the happily ever after is achieved. You want all the drama, all the grizzly details and heartbreak, before the happiness. When you stop and think about it, romance fans are rather dark individuals. Fortunately, this book delivers the magical kind of journey that forces all kinds of emotions from you. Happiness, heartbreak, fear, and so many other things that you’ll need to find a German dictionary because it’s the only language I know of that has words for those pesky emotions that require an entire sentence for native English speakers.
Honestly, though, the emotions in this one. It is such a deep read, yet it is mixed in with so much humour that you’re never quite sure how you’re supposed to be feeling. You feel everything, too much, all at once, resulting in a heady combination that will leave you reeling. I was asked so many times to explain what I was laughing at – trying to sneaky read at work is a no go with this one, unfortunately, as holding back your emotional responses is impossible. I received a few strange looks when my face took on the expression of those deeply tortured. Those are just the things I’m aware of doing – there’s no telling what other signals I was sending.
It’s hilarious. It’s hot. It’s emotional. It is everything you could hope for from such a book.
You fall in love with the characters instantly, desperate for more. More what? More everything! You’re pulled so deeply into their lives, they’re such wonderful characters, and everything they do leaves you loving them more. Our main characters are two of my most recent favourites – they were truly wonderful. Chase was a wonderful hero, the kind of guy you love more and more with each passing page. Liv was a fabulous heroine, the kind of woman that shows all kinds of emotional depths as the story progresses. The side characters were also a lot of fun. In fact, everyone in this story was wonderful in some way. It really was a brilliant cast.
In short, the checklist is complete:
Great storyline: check.
Fabulous characters: check.
Emotional: check.
Humour: check, check, and check some more.
Steamy scenes: check.
In short, I have so much love of this story. I loved it, loved it, loved it.

First of all let me say that I am a huge fan of both authors. Their previous collaboration is one of my favorite romance books EVER.
That said, I was very excited for this book. The teasers and cover had me eagerly waiting to get my hands on it. The first part of the book started well and I have to say that I loved Chase Kelly. What a charming, gorgeous alpha he is! My infatuation with the book stops there though.
When I read a book I really want to like and connect with the heroine. In this case, Livia didn't grow on me. I found her a bit childish and quite baby obsessed. Her first interactions with Chase had me wide eyed and I wanted to yell at him to get away from her. Lol, dramatic much? I don't know. She just didn't appeal to me and that was a major let down.
The book was very spicy and entertaining but in parts I found it cheesy.
So, overall I loved the hero but I wasn't wowed by the overall execution.
I wanted it to be a top favorite but I was a bit let down.
That said, it didn't appeal to me, it might appeal to you.
On the other hand, I cannot wait to see what these two authors will bring us next.
