It is common knowledge that a book should be not judged by its cover. The same can be said for people. A hot guy who has a beautiful smile, great body, and wears a uniform can be a much more than meets the eyes. The heroine of Beneath the Badge, Lindsay Snow, judged Matt Parker based on her first impression and she was so wrong. Matt was more than just a great body in a police officer’s uniform.
In this short contemporary romance novel that is both sweet and dark, readers will meet two deeply wounded characters. At first it seems that they are irreversibly broken, but once they decide to give a relationship a try, they are able to overcome their sadness and open their hearts to love. And with love, the healing process started.
What I loved the most about Beneath the Badge were the characters. Both Lindsay and Matt are strong individuals who have a lot of emotional wounds, which are really serious and are a great obstacle for their relationship. But the author did a marvelous job in resolving their issues in a realistic way. The story focused solely on the development of their relationship, and there are no secondary characters.
Due to the complexity of the characters, this was an emotional read for me. I experienced a roller coaster of emotions and I enjoyed it very much. I learned something from this story; that you cannot help a person who does not want to be helped, no matter how hard you try.
Great characters and an interesting storyline is what made Beneath the Badge a great read for me. I highly recommend it.
