 Isobel Reed's books are so fun to read. The covers are hawt but the best part is the sassy dialogue. I love how her characters interact. They simply combust on the page! COP-OFF is the second book in her Love Burs series and is just as fun as the first (Toasted). COP-OFF features the best friend from Toasted and the police man who hangs out with the hunky firemen. This time, the policeman has his hands full with the feisty heroine who won't back down! She's giving him as good as she gets. Their interchanges are smoking! Best of all, COP-OFF is now available in Ebook and print. You can grab a copy tonight and snuggle up with the hunky policeman! There's nothing better! Blurb: Blurb: Return to Woodvalley Pines…where a sexy police officer comes across one troublemaker that he’s determined to pin down. Cat is looking to snag herself a cowboy. After all, what else is there to do in the small town of Woodvalley Pines. And after the year she’s had, she deserves to treat herself. There’s only one problem. Cody freaking McBride. The devil himself. And the bane of her existence. It’s bad enough she has to look at his smug face most days, but now he’s made it his mission to meddle in her love life. Which means only one thing, it’s about to get ugly. Single dad and local cop Cody thought he was done with love. He was content in his routine. Work, eat, sleep, repeat. But then Cat shows up in town. Lighting fires wherever she goes and hurling insults his way while she’s doing it. He actually finds himself enjoying fighting with the little she-devil, it’s the most alive he’s felt in years. Woodvalley Pines is about to witness the ultimate showdown. Where clothes aren’t the only things getting torn to shreds. Cop-Off is set in a small town filled with sassy heroines, hunky heroes, and busybodies who can’t help but share their two cents. Fans of Any Man of Mine by Rachel Gibson and Worth the Risk by Jamie Beck will love Isobel Reed’s steamy, snarky romance! EXCERPT: The moment her heels hit the asphalt, she was in his face, her rage pretty damn apparent. “What the hell do you think you’re doing, Cody? This is not cool. Not f**king cool at all.” “You want the truth?” He took a cautious step closer. “No, f**king lie to me. Of course I want the truth, you idiot.” He had to hide his smile as he watched her eyes roll. Letting the still air wrap around them both, Cody thought about how honest to be. There was no point in lying anymore. Not to himself and not to her. He wouldn’t be here right now if he hadn’t already made a decision. So, what are you waiting for? Inching closer, he didn’t miss Cat’s sharp inhale. Or her pupils dilate. “The idea of you with another man makes me want to burn the goddamn world down.” She wasn’t good at hiding her feelings. That was obvious. So was the moment she visibly softened. The truth was working. Which was a good thing because that was all he had. When she didn’t reply, he kept going. “I want you. And I think you want me too. Go on … try and tell me you don’t feel it. Tell me you don’t feel this?” His hand gestured back and forth between them. He could see her struggling. Her inner voice was probably giving her just as much sh*t as his was. So, he gave her time. Using his own to drink in the view. She was a sight for sore eyes. Tight black satin dress, sky-high heels and her beautiful long black hair curled to perfection. And when those sapphire eyes eventually met him again, he had to swallow down the lump in his throat. “Fine. But just because I feel it doesn’t mean anything is gonna happen. Or should happen. Come on, Cody, be real. How would it even work? I mean, we can’t even have a conversation without ripping into each other.” Her voice was saying one thing, but her body was saying something else entirely. She’d entered his space, what was left of it, and tilted her head back. Aligning their mouths and staring straight into his soul. “Have you ever thought that maybe the reason we’re ripping into each other so much is really because we aren’t allowing ourselves to do the one thing we both really want?” “Which is?” She had the audacity to raise an eyebrow. Cody’s voice was thicker this time as his fingers pushed into her hair and held her in place. “I don’t know about you, sweetheart, but the only thing I want to be ripping –” he made sure their gazes were locked, “—is that sexy f**king dress.” He felt the tremble. He also felt her spine snap up in denial. “Maybe you’re just a dick Cody, ever think of that? Maybe that’s why I rip into you, ‘cos you drive me freaking crazy.” She didn’t try to move. To release herself from his grip. She just stayed right there with him. “There’s more than one way to drive you crazy, kitten. Want me to show you what else I can do?” This was his chance. Her eyes had already darkened, and her chest was rising faster. He needed to show her. Remind her of just how good they were. His free hand went to her hip and he hauled her against him. His mouth hovered over hers, seeking permission as he looked deep into dark blue spheres. “This isn’t a good idea,” she whispered. “Tell me to stop.” BUY LINKS: |
