Book Review: "Bend: Vegas Heat Book 1" by Molly McLain

*** - Sergeant Trent Clark can be a real asshole, and loves to give his Captain's daughter, Kinsey, a hard time. When Kinsey requests help from the local police and Trent shows up, she is tempted to handle things on her own. But she is even more tempted by Trent - his body is every bit as good as his attitude is bad.

This is a really quick read, and while the story is engaging, it goes too quickly to really be memorable. There is no real character development; Trent's issues seem to be solved through the power of love alone, which feels like a cop-out. These characters have great appeal and could have been great with a more fleshed-out plot.

I received a free copy of this book via Netgalley in exchange for this review.
