Solid Romance. As a romance, this book works well in telling the story of the chance encounter between an emerging country music star and a Sheriff. The characters all feel real, and there are at least a couple of different couples to look toward to continue the series - and the author reveals which one is next in the notes at the end. The sex is, as is often expected in this genre, definitely NC-17 rated - and kinky, including quite a bit that is in the "oh hell no" category for this reader, but the book presents an interesting look at the personalities of those who enjoy it, and for that reason alone is a worthy read, even absent other factors. The book even presents a solid look at a people - small town and/ or country music fans - that normally barely even qualify as caricatures in LGBT oriented books, and that alone was refreshing and thus also a worthy reason to read. Again, these last two reasons are *in addition to* it being a solid romance to begin with, and serve to strengthen an already solid book and make the... less personally palatable... sections easier to handle.
