Description from the publisher:

Warren wanted her, bad. Hayley had her career on her mind. Could they figure things out and make it work?



Officer Warren Hathaway has the hots for his new supervisor. He asked her out once, before she was his boss, and she turned him down. But damn, she's fine and he just can't keep her off his mind.



Sergeant Hayley Moreno is tempted by the tall, lean hunk of man, but her career is more important than any man, and sleeping with one of her officers, even if he's not directly under her supervision, will undermine her authority.



But can they figure it out?



Welcome to Highland County, New Mexico. Where we take our heroes seriously.



Get your copy now to find out if Warren and Hayley can figure out the intricacies of dating on the police force.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

WAKING UP CUFFED is the first book in the Highland County Heroes series.  Each is a stand-alone contemporary romance, but I think we’ve already been introduced to some of the next couples.



I would call this a slice-of-life romance.  Warren and Hayley are coworkers.  We spend 1/3 of our lives at work, so it makes sense that some people would meet that way.  I like that they both respected one another, respected her position of authority, and took the relationship at the speed that worked for both of them.



I especially loved the short retelling of THE WOLF YOU FEED to explain Warren’s tattoo.

I’m looking forward to listening to the rest of the stories from Melissa Stevens in the Highland County Heroes series.



Narration:  Bump Turgeson has a rich velvety voice that is very pleasant to listen to in this recording.  There are some production bloopers (whistling wind in one chapter and volume up/down in another), but they are short lived and forgivable.  Bump does need to work on his pauses, but his pronunciation and enunciation are beautiful.  I’m looking forward to more of his work.
