Book Blurb

As a lieutenant on the city's elite SWAT team, I had a job I loved. I lived in a beautiful penthouse apartment overlooking the city park. And the love of my life spent every night in my arms. My life was pretty damn good.

 

Which was why I was not thrilled that someone was messing with it.

 

Someone should have told me I was the comic relief. I would have prepared better for it or at least remembered to wear underwear. Tonight was the one year anniversary of the night Sal and I met. It was special. I was going to propose. It would have been a whole lot easier to propose if the man I wanted to propose to was actually there. Tonight was supposed to be perfect.

 

Which was why I was not thrilled that someone was messing with it.

 

Book Review

Since I basically just finished book one in this new series I was beyond excited that the author had already finished two and, in fact, she's working on book three. Yay! So I think you can tell that I was pretty jazzed, right? The only thing that made it even better was discovering that this book, 'Hot Mess 2', follows right along with Sal and Lany! Holy Jebus, peeps! That's gold in my hands right there. I love book serials and to have (at least) the first two follow the same couple is better than fudge. Well, okay, that might be stretching it, but it's close.

It's been a year since Sal and Lany met and they're happier than ever together. Unfortunately, this undercover gig the commissioner (Lany's uncle) and the yahoo from Internal Affairs want Sal to take means he can't tell Lany about it. Since a huge part of their relationship is based on honesty and trust, Sal isn't happy about this. However, because of his relationship with Lany, and Lany's wealthy family, Sal is the perfect person to impersonate a cop wanting to make some more cash. Sigh. I had bad feelings about this.

Really, Stormy? You had to make me so sad for Lany when his proposal plans fell through? It's bad enough Lany knows something is going on with Sal that he's not telling him and Lany can't get him alone long enough to find out, but there's a new detective on the force and he's not nice. Worse than that, he's out for Lany's blood. When Lany goes missing along with this Detective Wheeler, Sal is ready to murder someone. Lany is found in pretty bad shape and it about broke my heart.

This very exciting installment had a load of police corruption, betrayal, and a whole lot of people Sal, Lany, and the SWAT team couldn't trust. It made for an intriguing read. I was a little disappointed by the number of inconsistencies in this book but I tried to ignore them in favor of two characters I adore. I'm looking forward to the next thrilling adventure in the series.
