Great story. The cops seemed realistic doing a difficult job. 5 ⛤

I enjoyed this tale. It was well written and plotted. Nice job.

Good, seemingly realistic tale that was well told. I liked the ending, too, but must admit to being a bit sad because the pizza and beer scene. While it was fun and led to more fun, the association caused me to google Obie's and I learned that it's no longer in business.

I'm positive I've read this story before. Like a couple of years before.

I think you made Valerie's perspective a bit cartoonishly stupid. I suspect that has to do with your politics but at least you were "gentle" with your biases. Solid story overall.

A very enjoyable read. You keep getting better with each posting. Thanks.

Demands a sequel, where are they in a year or two? Still together? Or does she get tired of his career? Would love to know what happens next. 5*

I rode along with a friend who was a deputy sheriff on Friday and Saturday nights for a month. I almost wished I hadn't the night he called for backup while preparing to stop four guys in a car in an industrial part of town at 0230. Both other deputies in service showed up; when they ran the driver's licenses they found two outstanding warrants and four rap sheets, then they found three weapons in the car. John told me it was the first time he'd ever drawn his weapon on duty; I told him I didn't need to change my underwear but it was a near thing until they got the perps cuffed. Sorry for telling my own story, but it's your fault because you did such a good job of capturing the feel of a ride-along (not to mention a great romance).

Well written. Engaging characters.

One page away from a perfect score. How did they end up? 4*

I enjoyed this one very much Thank you for your time and work. I also think a sequel would fit right in.

very good story, as always, but I agree with Myfriendly8181 in that it needs flushed out. How does her increasing fame work on the relationship. Her traveling to book signings and tours while he stays home, just curious.

Vented Chest Seals, they come in twin packs and Save Lives

LEO's should all be carrying them these days...

That was great! I liked how you set the stage, but did it in such a way as to hold the reader's interest, even though most of us start reading these stories (generally) looking for immediate sex. That's some great story-telling, right there, to be able to do that as well as you did with this one!

Don't know why, but this one had me scratching my head, as what to rate it didn't immediately strike me. You transitioned Valerie from harsh skeptic to believer; you created action that seemed quite real and fit your story; you painted the cop as complex yet flexible with possible encounters; you linked him and Valerie via the gunshot. While I felt you sold his side and the police encounters, I didn't feel the connection with him and Valerie: something was missing here that your other stories had to bring the two MCs together; in fact, them "getting together" kind of felt like they were thrown together and I saw little chemistry to cement them "joining" in my mind. 3

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Loved it! Thanks for humanizing both the police and their detractors.

I had an issue with arresting the 21-yr-old driver. The LEO’s I know, to a person, would have called the mom and had her go home. They wouldn’t have laid the burden of a DUI on a young adult for a first offense.

As a retired LEO (Law Enforcement Officer) with 30 years on the job. I give this story 5 Stars. Well written.
