Summary: If you've got the hots for your local policeman...
Review: then you have to buy ths book and meet Julie our young, and of course beautifull crime reporter in a small, supposedly sleepy, provincal town in Northern England, Wintersea.

Our heroine wastes little time in taking matters in hand, and most any body part that passes in front of her, with the local cops to be able to get a direct line to the best source of info for her crime column. Julie, as well, of course, dedicates time to co-workers at the paper, and people she meets during her investigations, while making no apologies for loving every single moment.

If you enjoy reading books with a very high co-efficient of sluttishness then you'll love this book. Julie does not torment herself with self recrimination for the way she behaves and her absolute love of sex, so much so, that she continuously has to try to pace herself to avoid a scheduling conflict between the men and women she has affairs with. I thoroughly enjoyed the way she was portrayed by the author as being an 'in your face' kind of girl, which, I might add is hard to do.

Although this book is not as biting or as hard hitting as I would usually look for in my personal best erotica, as a whole I guess I'd say this book is 'erotica light' and a very easy read to while away a quiet rainy afternoon.

Summary: Surprise!
Review: There actually is a plot. Julie comes from a much smaller town to a still-pretty-sleepy local newspaper. She splits amicably from her friend/boyfriend, makes some new friends, and nails everything in sight. From a fellow reporter with interesting ideas on delayed gratification, to a earnest young cop who is trying to be domineering, to the motercylcle-riding, philosophy-reading bad boy, Jon, to the fierce Monica. The characters in this book are pretty developed, the setting is more than backdrop, both the town and the news office seem real, and the background mystery plot stays within grasp, no matter what other hanky-panky is going on. Julie is unapologetic about her sexuality, and despite the variety and frequency of her encounters, it never seems truely gratuitous. This is a well-written keeper.
