Review: Ramsey Rules

✩✩✩✩

Ramsey Masters is the Ridge Outlet Theft Prevention Specialist, that is, she spends her days stopping shoplifters. While catching someone stuffing a PS4 controller into their pants or a ham into their handbag is more amusing than it is dangerous, the type of work isn’t what drew Ramsey to the job. She needed a new city, a new life, where she could blend in, keeping her private life private. She’s made a few friends and dates some—all unsuccessful. While she knows several of the local police due to her job, when her favorite tall, dark and uniformed stops her for speeding the attraction she feels makes her think maybe she’ll give dating one last try. But there has to be rules…

Sullivan Day needs a date—a plus one for his cousin’s wedding, and he’s running out of time. Feeling Ramsey is out of his league, he’s avoided asking her. But when she blasts by him in a red sports car, he figures Fate has intervened. He’s completely intrigued as to how and why a minimum wage mall-cop is driving a Mercedes Benz—and completely turned on by her sassy attitude. So, after writing her a speeding ticket, he asks her out, even though she warns him up front about her pathetic dating record. With everything in common, a friendly relationship should come easy, but for reasons Sullivan can’t figure out, Ramsey is very guarded about her past. However, when illegal activity at the Ridge entangles their professional and social life, things are about to get real. Real dangerous. Real sexy.

Review: I'm a bit on the fence about this book. I liked both characters, and I liked the story in general, but I found the plot somewhat complicated and not always entirely coherent. It's supposed to have some suspense, but that was the part I found mostly lacking, not only because there were too many hints along the way not to have guessed the outcome, but also because the way Ramsey and Sullivan face the issues is sometimes a bit strange.

 

Overall it's a good book, but if you've read Jo Goodman's old west historical novels before you will for sure notice the differences, as those are much, much better. 

Happy readings!
