Description
While on patrol, Minnesota police officer Dez Reilly saves two women from a brutal attack. One of them, Jaylynn Savage, is immediately attracted to the taciturn cop, so much so that she joins the St. Paul Police Academy. As fate would have it, Dez is eventually assigned as Jaylynn's Field Training Officer. Having been burned in the past by getting romantically involved with another cop, Dez has a steadfast rule she has abided by for nine years : cops are off limits. But as Jaylynn and Dez get to know one another, a strong friendship forms. Will Dez break her cardinal rule and take a chance on love with Jaylynn, or will she remain forever shy?

I had forgotten that this story sorta started its life as as an Uber Xena story I think. That could definitely be seen in the narrative though, and boy was it a narrative.
It was about Dez, a police officer for St. Paul. She saves a young woman, Sara, and her roomie Jaylynn from rapists. That causes
It did take me a while to get into the flow of the book. It's a very dense plot, with something always going on, the plot always plowing forward. I could also see a lot of the places that the series might go too., although if this had been a stand alone I think it would have worked too.
I liked t he characters (well, I liked the ones I was supposed to like, and disliked the ones I was supposed to dislike I think). They were all definitely unique. I would have liked to see more of Jaylynn's roomies Jim and Sara, but they were different and unique too.
I will admit sometimes the Dez characterization confused me a bit, it seemed all over the place. but it seemed to flow with the story so I just went with it.

Jaylynn to enroll in the St. Paul police academy to become a police officer as well. Of course, because this is fiction, eventually Dez becomes Jaylynn's field training officer, and that's when things get very interesting. There's a lot of back and forth and some interesting police stuff too, as well as a body builder's competition.It did take me a while to get into the flow of the book.
