PLAYING JAMES: Sarah Mason: Ballantine Books: Romance: 319 pgs.Holly Colshannon is an accident prone journalist looking for her big break. Detective James Sabine is a no-nonsense police officer with an intense dislike for the media. When her editor and his chief concoct a plan to improve the department’s public relations while providing a local paper with the inside scoop on local law enforcement, these two opposites are forced to work together despite their constant clashing.
With the cover stating “You have the right to remain sexy…”, I expected more of a romance than a mystery, but I found it was mostly mystery. The real romance only includes the final couple of chapters. Holly and James completely ignore their growing friendship (and attraction) and then they suddenly recognize it and fall madly in love. The story was cute and the characters likable, but their relationship just falling into place on the last page was disappointing.
