Carve Your Name Into My Heart: A Love Story

 Two seasoned police officers, who have ridden together for years, take a call on Christmas Eve that changes everything. Smitty and Tucker are closer than husband and wife. Tucker finally makes his move to woo Smitty, and then the world conspires against them.

Family troubles, betrayals, and misunderstandings plague their romance. Tragedy strikes just when they think it will all work out, making their love story even more remarkable.

[Katherine Arthur · Rating 4 out of 5]

A love story much in the genre of Susan Elizabeth Phillips, as in it centers around a perky and quirky heroine who has been burned by love much too often, and is reluctant to take the jump again. She's a bit of a slob and has lost interest in even attempting to beautify herself or her surroundings. Her kind shows up often in romance novels, especially when the object of her affection is just as perfectly imperfect as she is. In this case, it's her longtime police partner, with whom she's had a close but platonic relationship. Through a turn of events, the sparks begin to fly, although getting the flame of love ignited proves nearly impossible. The ending is memorable and thought-provoking, although the journey there suffers from uneven writing and cliched supporting characters. The profusion of vulgarity might be off-putting to some readers, especially when juxtaposed with the faith-based undercurrent running throughout the book. Still, it offers an interesting peek into the daily lives of law enforcement and their sacrifices.
