Bending The Rules by Tracey AlvarezMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Three and a half stars.
Noah Daniels was a big city cop until things went to hell in a handbasket six years ago, after that he turned his back on the big city and all that entailed and moved to Stewart Island where he's the only cop and, by and large, his worst problem is dealing with the local drunks at chucking out time in the local pub, Due South. He doesn't do relationships and no matter how many of his friends pair up he has no interest in love, even if he is a bit lonely on an island with only 400 inhabitants.
Tilly Montgomery has come to Stewart Island to clear out her Great Aunt's bed and breakfast before selling it and moving back to the city where she is a script writer on a TV soap. Her first encounters with the dour constable are highly embarrassing but there is definitely a spark, would it be wrong to have a fling with the guy next door for the few weeks she is on the island?
I liked the story and plot of this tenth book in the series just as much as the others, what I didn't like was Noah himself. I'm sure it was unintentional but I felt that there were too many scenes in which Noah either kissed Tilly to shut her up when she was justifiably angry with him or where he backed her into a corner and left her no way of getting away from her, he had the emotional maturity of a grapefruit and frankly I didn't understand all the angst about his family which miraculously vanished.
Tracey Alvarez is still an autobuy author for me - there's always going to be one hero or heroine you don't like in a series.
