Lexington Connection
Their paths should have never crossed. Diana DeVilbiss, the daughter of a regional crime boss, is in Lexington as a favor to her father. She doesn’t know that the woman she’s hooked up with to pass the time is a cop. Officer Jessica Ann Galbreath is just as ignorant as Diana about their incompatibility, that is, anywhere except in bed.
The passion is like fire—irresistible and burning hot. But Diana should have never gone back for more. Jessie should have asked more questions. But there’s no time for words when desire sears away all caution and reason.
Driven apart by family, by duty and by circumstance, and entrenched in opposing worlds, there seems to be no future for Diana and Jessie, only the lingering flames of the Lexington Connection.

About the author
M.E. Logan
7 books21 followersA displaced Hoosier who now lives in North Florida, I started writing at a young age. Getting published had to wait quite a few years, but was accomplished. I write strong female characters who don't always have happily ever after endings. Like strong people in real life, they pick themselves up and go on. I have four published books and am working on the continuing sage of the Tempered Steele.

Diana is in Lexington for the weekend observing a trial as a favor to her crime boss father. Jessie is the local Romeo at the women’s bar—and she’s also a cop. They hook up for a couple of steamy nights. Neither one appears to be looking for anything deeper, but they both find the attraction too strong to resist. A cop and a crime boss’s daughter: What could possibly go wrong?
After the first meeting, Diana keeps finding reasons to go back to Lexington. Jessie never knows when Diana will show up but always finds a way to make herself available. Neither woman can deny the attraction. Yet Jessie knows almost nothing about the mysterious Diana while Diana thinks Jessie works at a local ranch. Over the next few years, the women continue to meet for hot sex and companionship.
There comes a time in every woman’s life when she knows something has to change. When Diana reaches the point of having to make a choice, she chooses Jessie. But it’s too late: She returns to Lexington to begin her new life only to discover that Jessie’s old flame has returned. Leaving Jessie to believe that there is someone else in her own life, Diana wishes her well and walks away. The end. Or is it?
With Lexington Connection, M.E. Logan has brought together two women with an irresistible attraction to each other but whose lifestyles are in direct conflict. When their paths cross again, their commonalities—loyalty, dedication to family, and fathers who have played powerful roles in their lives—come to the forefront in unexpected ways.

This book was pretty down the middle for me. The book is about a Drug Czar/crime boss' daughter and her relationship with a cop. The book is divided into 3 sections: Section 1, hot torrid love affair. Section 2, the crime action of the book. Section 3, the wrap-up. The two main characters are just OK. Diana is more likeable, while the cop (Jessica) is annoying and a bit too dumb for me. To be honest, I don't even remember what the main characters looked like or their ages. I don't think the book really describes them, if it does, I totally missed it. What saved the book for me was the hot sex scenes in Section 1. Logan knows how to write steamy encounters.
The crime section was OK, kept my interest, but started to fizzle out as the book progressed. What really drove me nuts, was the angst of the romance. While the idea of why these characters can't be together was fine, the annoyance came because of how many time the characters talked about why they can't be together. They hashed it out, over and over and over. Making the same arguments and same fights, over and over. This started at the end of section 2 and all of section 3, I was sick of it by then.
So would I recommended this book? Characters pretty blah, romance angst annoying, sex scenes great. I guess I would suggest that you borrow or rent this. That way if you find yourself annoyed like I was.... Though to be honest, section 1 almost makes up for the rest of this book.

This book really left me on a fence. A horrible situation, two oblivious MC's, enough difficulties to fill a warehouse. (maybe two) And it all seemed to be superficial.
The Time Frame of the book is disjointed in the extreme. The only clues as to characters ages were indirect, one is in school at the start so I guessed college aged, but...? Then there are three chapter headings '2 years later', 'eighteen months later' and 'three years later'. Except that only accounts for half of the supposed 15 years since they first met. Honestly, nothing in the text clued me in to their on/off love affair lasting 7-8 years, it seemed like 1-2 at most. I get that Jessie is older, but 1 year? Ten years? /shudder
The love scenes are fine, torrid as hell. Kudos.
The Crime Drama portion... Not much Crime, the Drama confined to the romance. We get Diana belongs to a Crime Family. But the association seemed to be hauled out, waved like a flag, then forgotten when no longer convenient.
Was it a bad book? Hell no!
Was it a good book worthy of rereading? Also Hell no!

The first third of the book had a relatively tight and effective plot with good pacing. After that, it was disappointing. The plot was wandering and implausible, and there were far too many grammatical errors throughout.

Interesting book, but a little disjointed. The plot and set-up happens quickly but the books time-frames were somewhat confusing, and that made for vague dialogue at times. I understand it was plot build-up, but it felt like a device and was very obvious ( with-holding details to be revealed later, for example, grew tiresome ). I liked the main characters, the juxtaposition there was fun to read. I was somewhat put off by the cadence of the author, the book is written in an odd narrative tense, so it just didn't seem to flow.

I liked the story about misunderstandings and missed connections, but I found the timeline of this book a bit too jumpy. I even understand it is necessary to do the timline over the years to explain why Diana wanted to save Jessie so much during her kidnapped, but the timeline thing just made it seems like you are watching a movie and fast forwarding it.
Otherwise I enjoyed the book, particularly the section where its only Diana, Margret, Jessie and Julie in the safe house.

This story hooked me in the first few pages. Wonderfully written, wonderful characters. I can hardly wait to read more by this author.
