Status Updates From Arrested Hearts

I loved Arrested Hearts.

I found this book to be well-written with a steady pace and compelling characters. I eagerly look forward to the next story from Holly Stratimore.

oh for fuck sake.
re: fucking people instead of tickets/jail
- response by Jule
"But that's only because you hadn't dealt with [traumatic event from past]."

What the fuck? Long long ago I was going to have an update saying that whatever the issue was, it didn't 'forgive' sexually harassing people. And now her girlfriend is giving her that pass. Because of the traumatic experience from past.

mmphs. I was at 41% before, not 51%. So now that at 54% it feels like I've not read much.

Oh good, now Randi is joking about hiw she sexually harassed Jule when they first meet. -- And now Randi is laughing at her because Jule is mad.

R:I never did arrest you for the dope
J:(forgot wording but - so I have to fuck you now?)
R (Cocky grin): maybe

Sexual harassment is neither funny nor sexy.

Jule - 'You stopping me to sexually harass me again?'
Randi - 'Harass you? That's a little harsh.'

Um dude - you literally pulled her over forced her to walk a line and twirl for you (despite lacking any and all evidence of 'drunkeness' (oh, right, there was a little weaving)), performed an illegal search and seizure, then suggested that she wouldn't press charges if Jule would fuck her.

Seriously. Harsh? pfft.

I meant to be on % not page.

3) Shawn and Jaymi, stars of the first book by Stratimore, are mentioned as being friends of Randi - though they are currently on tour.

1) Randi - corrupt cop, thinks she is garbage and doesn't deserve anything. (apparently because of 'Stevie'; and put off a career with cameras to be a cop because it was his dream to be a cop);

2) Jule is a blue collar factory worker trying to her life and her house in order after her girlfriend dropped dead at the advanced age of 32.

I do not like Randi.
