Since it’s a party at the end of October, single dad Ford Meyers makes an honest mistake in thinking Officer Jennifer Haynes sports her sexy cop uniform in the spirit of Halloween—not for duty. Finally having a chance to speak to the one woman he’s noticed in this new town, he manages to move past his blunder and tends to the accident she reports. Meeting Jen comes through an unfortunate twist of law, but realizing she’s mutually interested in him? Definitely a plus.

Only, now what? Jen’s thrilled that she can officially break the ice with the tempting gym owner in her neighborhood. But how to approach him off the clock is another matter. One more trick brings them closer together, and it’s up to them to risk focusing on the treat of becoming intimate, or staying hindered by the obstacles in their way.

Ford wasn’t quite sure throwing a party before Halloween was a good idea, but he gives in to his determined business partner and silently admits to himself he’s tired of the dry-spell he’s endured while raising his twin sons. When Ford gets the chance to finally chat to pretty, blonde Jen, he loves her cop “costume” – not realizing Jen really was a police officer, and wasn’t there for a casual party, but for official business.

I found this to be a fun and somewhat lighthearted short story – full of teenage-boy antics and mayhem and a healthy dose of more grown-up sexy shenanigans. I thoroughly enjoyed the small cast of main characters, Ford, his twins Nick and Peter, Jen and a few other strong secondary characters. While there’s plenty of chemistry between Ford and Jen I also enjoyed the fact that they didn’t actually get together really until right toward the end of the story. This helped me as a reader to become invested in them and their relationship. Also, with the fun and small-town feel of the story I think it wouldn’t have worked as well had they jumped each other and immediately dashed into the bedroom to be intimate.

More traditional readers might find the descriptive sex scene not to their tastes. Personally I found the scene not overly graphic but still sensual and sizzling. The scene is toward the end of the story, fairly brief and I feel it’s just nicely spicy – a perfect way to consummate the newly blossomed romance between Jen and Ford without going over the top or adding anything too taboo.

With a number of interesting characters and a solid small-town style of plot I feel this is a great story many readers can thoroughly enjoy. I’ll definitely be keeping an eye out for more by this author.
