GRR Reviews Mr. Sheriff - A Cop Romance (Mr Series - by Ivy Jordan

Mr. Sheriff is a standard contemporary "bodyguard romance". At only 100 pages long, it's meant for quick gratification with a pretty generic plot.

To recap, Naomi kicked out her boyfriend Greg when he got controlling and demeaning, but he had never gotten violent with her... until now. When her attempt to defend herself was witnessed by a neighbor who had an eye for Greg, police was called and she ended up being taken to the station in cuffs, but officer Carter investigated thoroughly and found her to be not at fault, and even helped her file a restraining order. And Carter took it personally... to keep Naomi safe... and they fell for each other. But Naomi wasn't sure if Carter really wants her... or was it just his protective nature? But Greg is still out there... watching... waiting...

Suspense wasn't really there, as the formula pretty much dictates the standard plot...

WARNING SPOILER AHEAD

YOU'VE BEEN WARNED

Greg will somehow get in and get violent with Naomi, probably a too-stupid-to-live moment when she opened the door expecting someone else, but Carter will somehow arrive just in time to save the day. No clever twists here. This is a by-the-trope plot.
