Five O'Clock Shadow
Have love, will travel...
When Jessie Adams, indie-rock DJ, part-time musician, and full-time fool for self-absorbed long-haired rockers, decides to do a favor for a friend, she never imagines said-favor will take her from sunny SoCal to Waikiki and back again--twice.
When her pal's beach-side music club, The Sea Shack, is threatened by the gentrification of their Bohemian neighborhood. Jessie figures throwing her hat in the City Council race might be a way to save the place. What she doesn't count on is somebody who wants the candidates out of the way -� or literally running into Chuck Jackson, one tall, cool, and infuriating detective. After all, Jessie just met the guy, and he's already staking his claim by vowing to protect her at all costs, not that she minds him guarding her body. In fact, she just might like that part of having him around a little too much. But when danger strikes, Jessie will have to figure out fast whether her undercover lover is playing around‚¬�or playing for keeps...

I really liked this book. It sort of had that Stephanie Plum feel to it (series from Janet Evanovich which I really love). This book revolves around DJ/part time musician Jessie Adams who decides to help out a friend to save her bar from being rezoned by running for city council. But someone doesn't want her or several other candidates running for council. When she literally runs into police detective Chuck Jackson the mayhem begins (and murder???) and possibly romance. This book is a quick read and well worth it if you want something slightly lighter to read.

It was a interesting read, kept me into the book until the very end of you really done it. If you like sex, money and politics this is the book for you.
