Cops and Robbers Isn’t Just for Kids

Shell Rockwood's family has her life all planned out, but she's got a secret to help her break free and jump into the driver's seat.

In order to expose a crime-ring and get a break in the case, Jax goes undercover as Shell's new boyfriend to gain access to the high-end garage on her family's resort winery.

Shell risks having her secret exposed as she's forced to play nice and bring Jax into her world of mechanics and luxury cars. Can they work together to catch the criminals or will their pretend romance send both of them careening off course?

About the author

Growing up in Ontario, Canada, MJ was the only child of a single mom. MJ’s passion for the arts ignited at a young age as she wrote adventure stories and read them aloud to close family and friends. The dramatic arts became a focus in high school as an aid to understanding character motivation in her writing. Majoring in Theatre Production at University, with a minor in English, she went on to teach both elementary and high school for 10 years throughout Simcoe County.

MJ currently lives with her husband and son in Ontario, Canada. She keeps busy these days writing, helping Indie Authors, and talking about books as a local librarian.

Reviews

[Jeannette Paule · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoyed this novella. The characters are great, have excellent conflict and chemistry, and the setup is fun. (I actually read it twice, because it was a lovely, needed distraction - and the second time was equally entertaining.)

[Barbie · Rating 3 out of 5]

Wild antics of a spoiled rich girl rebelling against her family's expectations disrupts a young policeman's life. Shell has reluctantly agreed to help Jax investigate an illegal operation on her grandfather's resort by pretending to date him. He is caught up in her whirlwind as she races from place to place taking risks and daring Jax to keep up. She expects him to keep secrets from her family, yet she does not treat him with kindness. Her feelings run hot and cold confusing Jax and the reader as to her real feelings. Is she acting, or is she really a selfish rich girl? The criminal mystery is solved without much suspense, and the novel seems to end abruptly. Shell's and Jax's family relationships and their personal relationship seem unresolved at the end. Does their story continue in another book? This novel seems unfinished, like it should be continued. I would be willing to give Shell another chance to redeem herself in a second book, and I would like to get to know Jax better. Word choice errors were a little distracting: champaign for champagne, quite for quiet, swop for swap. If you like cars and racing, you may enjoy Shell's racing antics and love for cars. I did like how the idea of the redline was used within the story. Thanks to the author for a complimentary copy of this title.
