I attempted to read a book that is releasing this week. I got about 10% in and I knew that while it was going to a very steamy book, I knew that the heart, the soul, the relationship was not going to be properly developed. Needless to say, I DNF’d and moved on.
Not long after that, I started Disorderly Orderly Conduct and I thought, “YES! This is how you do it!” And that reminded me once again, how good Bailey is at combining passion, sexy times and an actual relationship.
Ever and Charlie are in utter and complete denial as far as the status of their “relationship”. Neither one thinks they want a relationship or want to settle down and fall in love. Things do change for Ever and she goes on a hunt for a man to settle down with, which thank goodness, spurs Charlie into action. And let’s face it, he is a GONER for Ever. Oh, and did I mention that he calls her “Cutie” and she calls him “Big Man”? Good LAWD.
Not only does Bailey combine passion and relationship development, she’s so freaking funny. I found myself laughing out loud one minute and swooning the next. I know that I’m talking about how much I love this book, but I really do love it. If you’ve read Bailey, it reminds me of her first series, Line of Duty, which was EXCELLENT. Charlie is alpha and ridiculously sexy like the LoD men were. Plus, he is not afraid to pour his heart out to Ever.
“I’ve been writing my name on every part of you. Knew it and couldn’t stop it. Couldn’t help it since day one. Mine. Mine. Mine.”
Uh yeah.
As for the rest of the series? To say that it is promising is a giant understatement. Jack and Danika, Charlie’s roommate and fellow academy trainees, books are on deck. Jack is up next and I’m very intrigued by him and how his story will unfold. Charlie has a broody and quiet older brother, Greer, also a police officer and I CANNOT wait for his book. Bailey always manages to create a character who she makes wait for their book. She introduces them early in the series, builds their story a bit in each book and then whomps you over the head with an incredible book.
What is there left to say about Disorderly Conduct? It was excellent and highly recommend it. Bailey, once again, gracefully combines whip-smart humor, through the roof chemistry and passion, into one hot and smokin’ package.
