DISORDERLY CONDUCT

Romance Contemporary

I really enjoyed reading DISORDERLY CONDUCT by Tessa Bailey. The cover of this book gives you the impression that this book is full of nothing serious just romance with a police cadet. Who doesn\'t love a man in uniform? After a few pages in, I found that the story is extremely romantic and in a serious relationship kind of way. Bailey knows how to write romance scenes that deliver!

Charlie is a police cadet that is out with a group of his friends for a night on the town looking for a good time. This is where he meets an extremely sexy woman who tells him right away that she does not want anything serious. While he does not believe her, he still goes along with it. What Charlie does not realize is that when Ever Carmichael says something she means it. Over the next month, Ever stays very true to her word of sex only no strings attached. She is used to this kind of relationship because she grew up in a family where long term relationships was a bad thing. When Ever cuts Charlie loose and tells him she is done he is not sure how he feels. He is upset and not sure why. How could he get attached to a woman when all he ever wanted was no strings attached?

Charlie and Ever not only have a steamy love affair but they also develop a friendship as well. The characters are extremely thought out with very intriguing backstories that help make the plot line even more believable. I highly recommend DISORDERLY CONDUCT to romance readers who love a steamy swoony worthy book that is full of drama, cheating, love triangles and raw emotions.

SUMMARY

You don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone…

Police academy cadet Charlie Burns can’t believe his luck when the gorgeous blonde he meets in a bar murmurs those magic words: β€œNothing serious, ’kay?” Mind-blowing, no-strings sex with Ever Carmichaelβ€”it’s the holy grail of hookups for a guy who’s too busy following in his law enforcement family’s footsteps to think about getting serious. Charlie’s all about casual…that is, until Ever calls it quits and his world tilts on its axis.

Ever knows that when you control the relationship game, you can’t get played. But for the first time, she wants more than short-term satisfaction. Step one: end her fling with commitment-phobic Charlie. Step two: sacrifice herself to the ruthless NYC dating scene. Yet everywhere she turns, there’s Charlie, being his ridiculously charming self. No online match or blind date compares to the criminally hot cop-in-training, but they’re over. Aren’t they?

If love is a four-letter-word, why does the idea of Ever seeing someone else tie Charlie up in knots?  Now he’s desperate to win her back…and a little date sabotage never hurt anyone, right?
