Summary: Hot Shot a great read
Comment: HOT SHOT is a fast and entertaining read, if you liked Stephanie Plum you'll love Frankie Daniels. She gets into more trouble than the law allows. She had an affair with a married man (her ex-lover told her he was separated from his wife and getting a divorce). Frankie is oust to a very small and quaint town in North Carolina. When she arrives in town not only does she find her house is burnt to the ground but one of the best looking men she has ever seen is helping her out of a mud pile, only to find out that he is her boss.
She takes on the town bully and wins, and this is just the first day.
Frankie fights her attraction for her new boss (Matt), she fell for that once before.
Between all the crime to solve and the bond she is forming for the town, Matt hopes that he is part of the picture, also.
Charlotte Hughes has written a wonderful entertaining book. I look forward to reading more books by her in the near future.

Summary: Winner of WordWeaving Award for Excellence
Comment: Tough talking, chain smoking Atlanta detective Frankie Daniels falls from grace when her affair with the police commissioner's son-in-law, a married man with three children, becomes public knowledge. A tape of their sexual exploits ends her time on the Atlanta force, but the Captain pulls some strings and secures a new job opportunity for her in Purdyville, North Carolina. Unfortunately, she arrives to find the smoldering remains of her rent house, a mud bath, and a bristly encounter with her new boss.
The vulnerabilities created by witnessing the worse of mankind's depravity on Atlanta's streets combines with the lies her former lover told, leave Frankie rather hard edged-except when she yields to her emotions by crying in the shower. She has stopped seeing the people involved by crimes, thinking in terms of case numbers instead. She even wonders if she has lost her femininity. Meeting Police Chief Matt Weber forces her to reevaluate herself, her past and her future.
Having already dealt with the results of "fraternization", Frankie fights her attraction to the sinfully sensual chief. But as small town crime increases, Frankie finds it increasingly difficult to maintain her distance. Matt's clear regarding his feelings, but Frankie backs off when she becomes the object of small town gossip. But taking down the town bully and finds her hotel room vandalized demonstrates that Frankie has thrust herself in the middle of small town drama and the ... danger it can present.
Irreverently humorous moments lend a marvelous touch of levity to the wonderful romantic suspense HOT SHOT. Frankie thinks she is a hot shot when she arrives in Purdyville with ten years of street smarts. As she finds out how out of touch she is with humanity, however, she learns to balance street smarts with genuine concern. Yet author charlotte Hughes respects the strength that allows a detective to walk the Atlanta streets for ten years by not compromising the qualities that make Frankie unique - from her chain smoking to her ability to floor an unruly man twice her size in a parking lot. In addition, Matt's steadfast determination to win her heart, defend her reputation, and still respect Frankie as a person likewise will win reader's hearts. Further, Hughs masterfully captures the flavor of small town living that makes it unique, especially illustrated when Frankie brings a store-bought cake in a plastic container to a potluck. A tale of redemption, love and healing, HOT SHOT comes very highly recommended.

Summary: 1/2* Didn't do it for me...
Comment: Frankie Daniels has spent her life trying to live up to the legacy her father left her as a police officer. She is crusing along just fine until a scandal involving a married man gets her reassigned to Hickville, USA. As a native of Atlanta, Frankie is unprepared for the low crime rate that Purdyville has. Soon she realizes that though the crime might be low, it is the people of the town that is important. Matt Webber has never met anyone like Frankie. She has a mouth like a sailor and a body to die for, but doesn't seem to realize it. Soon Matt realizes that he will do anything to prove to Frankie that she belongs in Purdyville, and with him.
As a heroine, I enjoyed Frankie immensely. I didn't think that there was enough from the story from Matt's point of view. We were left open ended with Matt's parents and I think that Frankie reversed her opinion on relationships too quickly to have it be believeable. I just didn't feel like it was realistic how soon she decided that she was going to open herself up again.
I did enjoy this book, but it was one that I could put down.
