After being held
up at gunpoint, Ashley Colton realizes that life in the big city isn’t for her.
She decides to take the biggest risk of her life and move to Charlotte's Cove,
the small seaside sanctuary where she’s vacationed every summer since childhood.
Everything falls
perfectly into place until her first day of work, where she meets her new boss
Tyler Jameson, the chief of police. The chemistry between Ashley and Tyler is
instant and powerful, but for reasons of their own, both are cautious about
jumping in.
When a woman
from Tyler’s past surfaces, Ashley retreats, making Tyler realize that if he’s
going to show Ashley she’s the only one who has his attention, then he needs to
stop being hesitant and put everything on the line.
Is the badge
powerful enough to win the beauty who holds his heart?
Beauty and the Badge is my first Ella Fox
book. It’s a sweet story of rediscovering oneself after a change of event in
life. Loss, love and rediscovery. Going back to the town that you were raised
in brings back many great memories, even if that means dealing with the towns
no-good troublemaker.
The story was
great. Lots of background for the characters and the town. Meeting and working
for Tyler, the Chief of Police, seems to be exactly what Ashley was looking
for. A chance to start again and hopefully make a love connection. However, I
found Tyler’s character confusing. When meeting and hanging out, he seemed like
a sophisticated, yet down to earth guy. Only, during their times of passion and
sometimes just random talking, his language was not in tune with his character.
It seemed thuggish and just not who his character had been portrayed to be. It
perplexed me and made me not like his character as much as I originally did.
This is why my rating wasn’t higher. I was just put off by the use of his
language. It wasn’t the dirtiness of it, because that doesn’t put me off at
all. It was just how he used the terms that he did. It’s like it didn’t fit his
persona. I did like the connection that the duo had. They were an instant fit
and their relationship felt right.
All in all, the
writing and story-line was sweet, and I would definitely read Ella Fox again.
