Publisher Description
Natasha Parsons is a ride-along mental health clinician attached to the local police department. She charges into danger without a gun or badge to de-escalate crises. She’s quick on her feet and confident in her opinions. If only she could convince her by-the-book, humorless partner that she’s an asset, not the enemy.
Being a cop is in Tommy Finch’s blood. She comes from a long line of cops and grew up learning how to protect and serve with honor and integrity. Getting saddled with a shrink who’s reckless and brash isn’t something Tommy signed up for. How can she do her job when she’s responsible for the safety of an unarmed civilian?
No matter how often they clash on the job, an undeniable attraction simmers just beneath the surface. Can they find the courage to change so love has room to grow?

Forced Proximity
Natasha starts a new job with the police force where she will help initiate a pilot project to include social workers in day to day police operations. This is not well received by most of the police officers, including her new partner Tommy. As anticipated, over time Tommy and the other officers begin to see the benefits of the project as they watch Natasha time and again prove incredibly effective in her efforts. As Natasha and Tommy’s working relationship grows, so does their personal relationship. They both develop strong feelings for each other but refuse to start anything official at the expense of their jobs and the fledgling project they have spent so much time to make successful. Regardless, the relationship is brought to the attention of their supervisor and they have to find a way to save their jobs without sacrificing their feelings and their future together.
There were some slow parts and Tommy spends an oddly long amount of time trying to grasp the benefits a social worker can bring to the police force. Other than this weird mental hurdle Tommy and the other police officers have to get past, the book was good... really good. 4 stars from me. Also, it made me laugh, and I will always give a funny book a good rating.
