3.5 stars. I kind of adored this story! I will fully admit that nostalgia, centered around a "hot cop" from my teen years, added to my enjoyment. When I was 16 and very newly licensed, I rear-ended someone during rush hour. The police officer arrived and I lost it. Not because of the accident, but because I wasn't expecting a freaking ADONIS to step out of the cruiser. Anyway, he was stabbed the following year during a domestic violence call. It was a minor wound, fortunately, but it made big news in our bland little suburb. I was still nursing a crush on him and sent him the most ridiculous get well card in existence. It literally had flowers and BIRDS all over it. A few months later, he randomly came into the library while I was working my super hot shelving job. To my utter humiliation/happiness, he remembered me and thanked me, noting that he had gotten a lot of cards but none from anyone he'd given a ticket to! 
 I couldn't help but remember the whole ordeal while reading this. But even without that nostalgia, there was much to like about this. This was a seriously hawt story (having only read Status Update, which I thought fell on the sweet side of sexy, I wasn't expecting the heat). This was also a seriously poignant story. Mason is struggling to get his business off the ground while dealing with vandalism and familial pressures. Nash is worn-down by the traumas associated with his job but also from keeping the pieces of himself separate. I felt their guilt, their uncertainty, their fears. And just as much, I felt their desire to comfort, to tease, to care for one another. Their clandestine and casual arrangement quickly became anything but casual. They didn't really fight their mutual pull in the physical sense, although they attempted to fight the emotional bonds. Yet they were always somewhat aware that it was a lost cause. I just loved watching the feelings "sneak up" on these characters. 
 I did think that the resolution lacked some of the emotional punch that I expected. Considering how much they endured individually as well as together, I wanted something a bit more heartfelt. That being said, I'm hopeful that they will reappear throughout the series and we catch additional glimpses into their HEA. Already looking forward to future stories about Adam and Logan, Mason's friends/business partners, and the lovely little town of Rainbow Cove!
