Too Hot To Handle #4
Cop Blocked
Stability. Commitment. Love.
I want it all, and I refuse to settle for anything less.
Being stood up by a blind date? That's par for the course. I knew the pitfalls of putting myself out there… again. But why waste a sitter and good night out when there's a hot guy licking his wounds at the bar just a few feet away?
Unattached. Childless. Uncomplicated.
I like my life just the way it is. The only commitments I'm into are the ones I made to God and my Country as a Marine and to protect and serve as a civilian.
Relationships? They are one minefield I'd rather not cross.
That is until kismet slides onto the bar stool next to me. Now I'm beginning to question everything in my life that I've held onto with an unbreakable conviction.
Lust. Love. A white picket fence.
Rachel is a lethal combination for a man like me… she's gorgeous, sassy, independent and as I soon find out… a single mother. Minefield or not, I can't fight my feelings for Rachel or her adorable toddler.
There's nly one question is left to be answered. Can a man like me handle being cop blocked?

What an awesome read!
Author Aubree Valentine pieces together an intriguing story with compelling characters and a few fabulous twists and turns!
A chance meeting after a couple of disastrous dates (with other people) leads to something both Rachel and Logan want to explore.
Until Logan discovers Rachel is a mother, and he is deathly allergic to kids.
I adored the secondary characters in this story so much. The two most notable ones have to be Piper and Nana.
Cop blocked is a great story with humor, angst, steam and ALL the feels! Highly recommended!
4.5 stars

I really did enjoy this book, it was written very well with great characters.
Rachel was a single mum who would like to start dating again, Logan was a Reservist Marine/police officer, he met Rachel when she spoke to him about his disastrous date! Numbers were exchanged and plans made to meet again!
Things are going well, until a comment Logan makes and Rachel backs off a bit, that is until they meet at mutual friends and her secret is out - her 3 year old daughter! What follows is an attraction that cannot be halted. A little girl who breaks through the wall that Logan has built round his heart and a love a man feels for a woman and her daughter.
Things are not easy, as Logan has to go on tour, and after what happened in his previous relationship he is nervous about going and how Rachel will cope, but like all good wives/girlfriends who wave their men off on tour, she takes it in her stride and promises she will be there when he gets home. And he has something to look forward to make the days go quickly!
This was one of those books that you didn’t want to put down!

Holy Moly! Where do I begin with this.
Logan is out on a date from an app and she is driving him insane.. Rachel is at the same restaurant watching this nightmare unfold after being stood up on her blind date.. When Logan sends his date home he sits at the bar and starts talking to Rachel. Who would think two nightmare dates could turn into anything. When they realize they also have mutual friends they cant believe they hadn't met before and honestly could it be any better? Until Rachel tells Logan the one thing that could send him packing. And What will happen when Logan tells Rachel he is being deployed again?

Rachel and Logan have both had disastrous dates in the past. They meet at a bar and end up chatting about said dates. A simple exchange of numbers and these two end up giving things a go. Problem is Logan doesn't want kids and turns out Rachel has a three year old daughter. Logan fights it but he falls in love with Rachel and her adorable daughter. Will this couple end up together or move on? A sweet, good read.

Cop Blocked steams it's way through heartache and forces it's way into your heart. Rachel and Logan are determined to get under your skin and believe me they do. Valentine gives emotions orgasmic pleasure with heartstopping results. Cop Blocked left me breathless.

I LOVE me some Aubree Valentine and her talented writing style with is highly addictive. AND I LOVE the Too Hot to Handle series, plus I really LOVED the majority of Cop Blocked, except there's this whole issue that I have with endings being a bit too rushed, and it breaks my heart to say this, but I wanted this ending to be a bit bigger. This is the story of Logan Campbell, who has self diagnosed himself with allergy to tiny humans, so he absolutely doesn't want any himself, however, he finds himself looking to maybe find a plus one in his life, so his close friend circle talks him into getting a date from a dating app. It's like the worst date ever, and as he pours his date into an uber, another woman, Rachel, comes to sit down with him, and frankly, was laughing about his situation, even though her blind date was a no show. They find themselves having a good time, and neither can get the either out of their heads after they go home separately. Rachel Monaghan was a NICU nurse, who isn't afraid of commitment, just very careful about it since she has a tiny human at home. So, she doesn't tell him that she has a daughter, and not because she knows of his "allergy" because of being careful. They have sparks, but it's a slow burn story as they get to know each other. And the cast of secondaries really added to this story in big ways, especially Rachel's tiny human daughter, who kept me laughing hard. There's even an f-bomb worthy twist or two, some angst (but not a ton thankfully) with a tiny side of drama, so yeah, it ticked all my boxes. So, what happens when Logan finds out about Rachel's tiny human?! Will he continue their dating, or run in the other direction...you'll have to one click Cop Blocked to find out! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Aubree Valentine's fourth installment of her Too Hot To Handle series gives fans their long awaited love story for police officer/ military reservist Logan Walsh. The object of Logan's affection is new to the series as the sassy single mother, Rachel Beasley. From the first meeting the attraction builts immediately and it is quickly apparent the two have more than a little spark. The dialogue between our two MC's is witty and kept the interest going through out the book. The slower paced sub-plot of a matchmaking grandmother and her often distressed feline weave into the plot nicely. Like the other books in the series, we see past characters reprising their roles as an often needed support system for our law enforcement both on and off the job. Valentine does a solid job at a fun, flirty romance with a twist of action. This
fourth book in the series fits in well with it's previous releases and fans shouldn't hesitate to one click!

Why so many typos?!
From the dedication page (yes, the DEDICATION page! "Not all heroes where capes" what?!) to the end of the book, there were so many typos. Where is the editor? Or friends to read it in advance and be like, "you can't sit 'beside across' from someone"?? Because that's what this author needs. So. Many. Typos. Can we use Word or something? Because it will check your spelling and grammar. Shoot. Even my review is flagging "where" above as not being correct with capes. Sigh.
Aside from them (which were clearly very distracting), the book was ok. Maybe a little better than the previous one or two.
The single mom with a three year old has a very well spoken and intelligent three year old except when saying "love" apparently. Then said three year old says "lub". 🤷🏼♀️ The writing didn't seem accurate for the typical three year old.

Beautiful story with good characters, but predictable
3.5
The story is beautiful, well written, tender and definitely romantic. It is quite simple, punctuated with small twists, classic in its development but it is a little too predictable for my taste.
Rachel and Logan spend their time meeting by chance and decide to get to know each other. Rachel does not dare to tell him that she has a daughter and she starts to get away from Logan when she understands that the policeman and Marine reservist, does not want a child, but Logan, for the first time since that his ex fiancée abandoned him because he had a risky job, wanted to share a relationship with a woman, and he was not about to let Rachel go away so easily.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book

I loved Logan and Rachel's story! I haven't read the other stories in this series (I don't think, it's Friday and my brain is on strike) but you don't need to. I want to read the other couples stories because they just have such a fun friendship and they all crack me up!
Logan is not a commitment guy. Kids scare him, well as long as they aren't his kids. He is fine with his friends' kids. So really he's not scared of them either I guess. But don't tell him that, he doesn't seem to be that self aware. And Rachel is a single mom with an adorable young daughter Piper who immediately is taken with Logan.
Talk about awkward circumstances, gossipy friends and a completely precocious daughter and you're laughing throughout the story!

Who is Logan? What does he do for a living? Who are Gunner, Louis "Shortstack", Sunny, and Ryker? Who is Rachel? What does she do for a living? Who is Rhys? The conversation between Rhys and Logan is so funny! Miss Beasley is a hoot of an old lady. I love her. The interplay between Rachel and Tori at work is fun to read! This turned out to be such a fun read. I need to pick up more of this author's stories. Loved the ending. Nana is such a hoot, again!

Of the 4 books in this series this one was my least favorite. I found it boring and unrealistic to the point of flipping pages. I guess I’m not a fan of the slow burn romance trope. Two mature adults who have decided to have a relationship don’t wait months to have sex and then their first time do it in a bar bathroom. 🤢 The steam in the first 3 books was written very well. This book lacked steam and the chemistry was boring. The 3 yr old girl acted more like she was 5. Too many new characters in the book that added nothing to the storyline except banter. A good editor could have condensed the fluff in the story and made this a much better book.

COP BLOCKED by Aubree Valentine is book 4 in the Too Hot to Handle Series. This is the story of Rachel Monaghan and Logan Campbell. This was a standalone book for me. Rachel is a nurse who is a single mother who doesn't take time for herself much. When she happens to meet Logan they talk and seem to hit it off. Rachel doesn't want to scare him away so she keeps her daughter from him. But Logan is a cop who gets called to a older ladies (grandmother) several times in his career and has a friendship with her of sorts. But he quickly finds Rachel's secret.
This was a quick easy read.

Adorable! I am completely in love with this book! Aubree Valentine is such an amazing author! The first chapter had me rolling! Logan and Rachel's story was everything! I laughed and cried, but both were worth it! Just the right amount of angst to keep the story flowing and all the heat you can pack in one book! LOVED!!

Enjoyed this story! Logan and Rachel were great characters! Nana and Piper were both a woot! I really enjoyed how Logan and Rachel met and the wit that ensued! Fun, believable story line! 5 star story but a minus for the editing issues throughout :-( Another good story in the Too Hot To Handle series!

Fantastic book!! Great storyline and wonderful characters. It was a very sweet story. It all starts with a chance meeting and leads to so much more. This was my first book by this author but it's not going to be my last.

I have been waiting forever (okay not really forever, but a really long time) for this book! And it did not disappoint.
I love Aubree's writing, and her characters are always so well developed that you get emotionally involved in the story.

3.25 stars. Quickie review: This had a cute story, but it had a rushed ending. I never quite got that HEA feeling or secure relationship feeling either. The 3 year old kid sounded much older for her age. This book did not have the best writing or depth, but it was a mostly entertaining read.

COP BLOCKED by Aubree Valentine is the fourth book in her
November 27, 2019
Cop Blocked in the latest stand alone in the Too Hot to Handle series. For the most part, it works well as a stand alone. There were a couple of times that I felt like there was some back story with a few characters that I was missing. However, it in no way took away from my enjoyment of the story. Logan and Rachel were a fun couple. It is a slow burn romance that helps to make their attraction really intense. I loved watching Logan prove himself wrong when it came to his "allergy" to children. It's a very quick read and one I definitely recommend. I now want to go back and read the other couples' stories.
