Lexi
I’ve worked hard to build up my jewelry shop and studio. Then it gets broken into and Officer Davies is assigned to watch over me. I’m furious. The last thing I need is some thug cop hanging around and scaring away the customers.

But the more I get to know him, the more I’m drawn to him. Not only does he want to protect me, he wants to help me make the shop a success.

But I’m not used to having help, and I want to do it all on my own. Will my stubbornness and independence push him away?

Jacob
When a jewelry shop gets broken into, I know it’s the work of a notorious criminal on the run. And I know he’ll be back.

El sexy oficial Davies trae acción y su vena protectora en esta lectura corta





Jacob de Sadie King serie Alpha cops libro 2



Mí humilde opinión:

Lexi

He trabajado duro para construir mi joyería y mi estudio. Luego de
que alguien irrumpa en el y se asigne al oficial Davies para que me vigile.

Estoy furiosa. Lo último que necesito es un policía matón merodeando y asustando a los clientes.

Pero cuanto más lo conozco, más me atrae. No sólo quiere protegerme, sino que quiere ayudarme a que la tienda sea un éxito.

Pero no estoy acostumbrada a tener ayuda, y quiero hacerlo todo
por mi cuenta. ¿Mi terquedad e independencia lo alejarán?

Jacob

Cuando irrumpen en una joyería, sé que es el trabajo de un notorio criminal fugitivo. Y sé que volverá.

Cuando conozco a la descarada dueña de la tienda, me siento atraído por ella. Me asignan para vigilar la tienda, pero termino vigilándola a ella. Es inteligente, independiente y con un cuerpo curvilíneo que ansío sostener.

La están usando como cebo para atrapar a un criminal. ¿Pero me
dejará protegerla o me alejará?




Jacob es el segundo libro de la serie Alpha cops y me gustó. Una historia breve pero que engancha y con ritmo rápido.

Un romance dulce, sexy y... la pequeña sorpresa de que tiene un toque de acción y peligro.

Era lo que me faltó en el primer libro, siendo de policías, algo de acción.

Jacob Davies era lo máximo, se enamoró de esta testaruda mujer y no quiere más que ayudarla! Morí con sus gestos, era el mejor y bueno, aparte que atrapa al malo, cómo no gustarme? Con Lexi tenían una bomba de química, eran lindos juntos, me gustaron.

El epílogo era muy lindo, quería más!!!

Quick read that will pull you in from page one. Loved Lexi and Jacob. Lexi had her shop broken into and Jacob came to her rescue. I mean who wouldn’t want to recused by a hot cop. They had a great chemistry between them. Great read for an afternoon escape.

Can I smell cinnamon buns? ..... But he has the best buns of all

Jacob is the second book in the Alpha Cops series and tells the story of Lexi and Jacob. Late one night Lexi Stewart is working in her workshop at the back of her jewelry store making jewelry when someone throws a brick through the front door and she interrupts them. She is unable to get the alarm off so goes to sit on the curb to wait for the police. Well one massively sexy cop shows up in the form of Officer Jacob Davies. He is one tall drink of water in his tight uniform and take charge attitude............now where did I put that fan again??? Anyway back to the review again......
Lexi has opened her shop in the not so nice end of town between a betting shop and a pawn shop. But she had a dream to open her own shop bringing together local jewelry makers who can both sell and show their jewelry in one place. She had to pick this location as she could not afford a shop on the main street but things are not quite working out as she had hoped and now with the break-in things financially are a bit tighter.
Officer Davies takes Lexi's statement and she does remember the burglar being white and having a distinctive scar on his face. Jacob recognizes the description as being a known burglar and fugitive who has been evading the police for a few months since he skipped bail. So the police decide to stakeout the store because they believe he will come back to get what he wanted. Over the next several nights Lexi and Jacob become friendly and spend a bit of time together. Jacob even tries to "stake his claim" on Lexi when a man comes into the shop and he and Lexi are laughing and talking. Turns out it is another jewelry maker who is also married to a man. When Jacob tries to do something for Lexi and her shop without asking first, even though it is something she had mentioned she had wanted to do, her back goes up and her quills get pointed. Jacob in turn walks away leaving Lexi to realize just how wrong she was. But when she tries to apologize it turns out to be a different officer watching over the shop that night. Well maybe not quite so much as Jacob is fiercely protective of Lexi and is still watching over her and will be her hero before the sun comes up again.

I really loved this story and found it to be well written, sweet, romantic and sizzling hot. The story-line is well developed as are the characters, all of which held my attention. Jacob is a protective and possessive older Alpha cop who is determined to keep Lexi safe even if she does not want it. The Epilogue is a lovely little bite that shows just how these two are together.

Lexi's jewelry store is broken into again. Officer Carver answers the call, helps her clean up, and makes sure she gets home safely. He arranges for a detail to be put on her shop in the evenings. He even tries to help her out by painting the outside of the shop, but she doesn't deal well with his help. This is a very sweet book. Of course, it's instalove for Jacob, but it takes a little longer for Lexi to come around. She's always had to do things herself, and it takes her a bit to learn to accept help for what it is - help, not control.

Another great addition to the Alpha Cops series! Jacob is sweet and sensitive and considerate, as well as being an alpha. Lexi is in need of just a man, given that her jewelry boutique was just broken into - while she was in the back room! From the start, these two are attracted to each other. Jacob is very willing to pursue Lexi, but she's more reluctant. Lexi is very self-reliant, and is unused to having anyone willing to help her. Thankfully, despite their ups and downs, these two find their happy ever after! This is a smart and sexy story, a great distraction from everyday life!

This novella jumps right in and pulls you in from the start. Great storyline of cop helping out the single lady shop owner. Good chemistry with the alpha cop and sassy shop owner, who doesn’t want help from anyone. I like how Jacob’s protective stupids comes out, only for him to see his mistakes and for Lexi to recognize her vulnerabilities. Nice read with an even better HEA.

Sometimes what starts out as a bad day can end up being the best day ever. Lexi gets robbed but is met by Jacob, a hunk of a police officer. He wants to protect her but her stubbornness gets in the way. Lexi learns something valuable lessons about learning to let go. Jacob is ready to show her that she has friends willing to help. Short but satisfying romantic read.

Lexi is inspecting her jewelry shop after it had been broken into. She's sitting on the curb waiting for the police. Seeing black shoes in front of her she looks up and there is the hottest police officer she's ever seen. There is that instant connection between Jacob and Lexi and their relationship takes off with a few bumps but still they make it through the trials. Can't wait to read another fascination story.

Lexi is unsure what to do when her store gets broke into. She's worked hard to have a store front but not at the cost of her sanity.
When Officer Jacob approaches her and helps her she feels like there is more to them. Can she give him a chance or will she push him away?

Love instalove!

I love instalove and this author delivers in spades! Hot, quick reads that hit all the instalove feels.
Jacob meets Lexi when she is vulnerable and he will do all he can to protect her! But she is no shrinking violet and isn’t used to someone helping her or even asking for help!
What happens when danger returns and she has turned him away?
Great read!

Short insta-love romance between jewelry store owner, Lexi and cop, Jacob. Could have used more spice in my opinion but other than that it was fine
