Loved this book! Bought the series!
Much better than I thought it would be. Cute story with interesting twists & turns. Interesting characters.

I finished this book, but only by sheer determination. I had a hard time connecting with any of the characters or situations, and have no interest in continuing with the series.
Great easy read!
A great book to read on a cold winters day.
Chanel is funny and her dog is called cocoa.
I read the whole book in under 4hours.
It should be called How not to be a police officer.
Great fun.
