Before starting this book, I had no idea this was 4th book in the Men in Uniform; The Sullivan Boys series. This books works as a standalone, so you don’t have to worry about reading the books in order. You cannot help love Pat, the head-strong, good-looking Police Captain. I think another thing that makes Pat so appealing is his love for his family and there values, just love that. Charlie’s and Emily’s relationship is so lovely and nice. There are moments in the book (towards the end), that I really felt for Charlie, behind that strong facade is loving, vulnerable women, who loves simple things in life. I think the mystery is well done, but the ending is a bit predictable and I found that the love between C.J. and Pat looked a bit rushed too. But this is a quick with a nice ending, something I am in the mood for right now ( are you not also?). After reading this, I really want to check out other books in the series as well. And the final installemnt is also coming out very soon....more
