After being held up at gunpoint, Ashley Colton realizes that life in the big city isn't for her. She decides to take the biggest risk of her life and move to Charlotte's Cove, the small seaside sanctuary where she's vacationed every summer since childhood.

Everything falls perfectly into place until her first day of work, where she meets her new boss Tyler Jameson, the chief of police. The chemistry between Ashley and Tyler is instant and powerful, but for reasons of their own, both are cautious about jumping in.

When a woman from Tyler's past surfaces, Ashley retreats, making Tyler realize that if he's going to show Ashley she's the only one who has his attention, then he needs to stop being hesitant and put everything on the line.

Is the badge powerful enough to win the beauty who holds his heart?

4.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful love story with fantastic characters
Reviewed in Australia on 12 November 2019
4 1/2
Ashley Colton is extremely unhappy in her job and when push comes to shove, literally, she decides a change is in order. She moves to Charlotte’s Cove and accepts a position as office manager at the local police station where she meets the chief, Tyler Jameson.

Tyler is one hunky, handsome fellow with a caring and loyal nature. Ashley is also caring, loyal and sweet but when it’s needed she can stand up for herself, I totally loved that side of her personality coming out. Together they have an intense chemistry and the passion between them is combustible. The other main characters are fascinating and I look forward to reading their stories too. Millie deserves a special mention as she is a wonderful character, with her naval wine coolers.

Throughout the story there is a hefty dose of humour, especially Ashley and Millie who is a crack up. From fun banter between characters to humorous expressions like this one- ‘...jeans that are tight but not “oh my God, why is that girl showing us her business?” tight...’ And..’This revelation is going over like a f*rt in church.’ 😂 The wonderful humour is one reason why I gave it an extra half a star.

Overall this is fast paced mainly because of the great descriptions and solid storyline. A good dose of suspense rounds things out very nicely too and another reason for the extra half a star. This is the first book by this author that I have had the pleasure to read but it most certainly won’t be the last.

4.0 out of 5 stars A sweet read
Reviewed in Australia on 11 November 2019
This was a really sweet book by Ella Fox. Ashley Colton’s life is not what she wants it to be. After working for a tyrant, being held at gun point and feeling as though her life isn’t going anywhere, she decides to pack it all up and move to Charlotte’s Cove, a place where she spent her summers as a child with her grandparents. There she meets Tyler Jameson, the local Police Chief and insanely hot guy….oh who also happens to be her new boss!

Here we have a slow burning romance, with some twists and suspense as well as some really hot moments and wonderful characters. The heat between Ashley and Tyler is out of this world and totally warms your heart! There are other secondary characters who are really sweet and help to carry the story. It will be interesting to see if there will be stories about them in this series.

Ella Fox has a way of telling a story that just weaves around you. It’s fast flowing with a little bit of drama mixed in to keep you engaged. If you like small time romances with a lot of heat, then this one is for you!

ARC received for a fair and honest review.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book was straight up FIRE
Reviewed in Australia on 13 November 2019
I pretty much went into this book blind after being drawn in by the beautiful cover and I'm so glad I read it because I loved every minute of it.

After being caught in the middle of a dangerous situation Ashley no longer feeling safe living in LA decides to move to the small seaside town of Charlotte's Cove where she spent her summers when she was a growing up.

With the help of her family friend and neighbour she gets a job working at the local police station where she meets Tyler the chief of police and her new boss.

Sparks fly from the very first meeting and while everything seems to be going in a good direction a very unpleasant blast from Ashley's past threatens the new life she is trying to build for herself 

Ashley was a tough cookie, kind, sweet and beautiful inside and out while Tyler was intense, sexy, caring, protective and filthy in the best possible way.

Ashley and Tyler's story was sweet, sexy, incredibly steamy, with some drama, a dash of suspense and danger along the way. Their attraction was instant and their chemistry was off the charts. The progression of their relationship was rather fast but so full of passion and steam that I didn't mind it one single bit. The story was fast paced and I found myself not wanting to put it down.

As much as I loved Ashley and Tyler what really solidified the 5 star rating for me where all the side character's of this charming seaside smalltown. From the old couple living next door to Ashley to the group of friends and coworkers of Tyler's to Boo the adorable Husky owned by Tyler. I loved every single one of them and the town and can't wait to read more from stories set in Charlotte's Cove.

Reviewed in Australia on 14 November 2019
Beauty and the Badge had me enchanted right from the start. Ashley was a character that you wanted to befriend and Tyler was an alpha that had you swooning. Their story is overflowing with chemistry, passion and enough steam to fog up your kindle screen. A romance that is full of drama and suspense and will have you on the edge of your seat. Charlotte Cove will wraps itself around you as the love, the friendships and the relaxing sea air wrap it’s way around your heart. Tyler and Ashley are two characters that will melt your heart and have you wishing on a star that these two get their happily ever after.

Oh wow Tyler is the man of my dreams! If there was ever a perfect book boyfriend he would be it! That man is such a smooth talker. Boy does he have a way with words. Ashley was such a sweetheart and even though she was a bit shy I also likes that she had a backbone. I'm not a fan of a wallflower who let's everyone walk all over them and I'm surprised to say I didnt get that feeling from her throughout this book.

The storyline was perfect and I love how it had a bit of drama but wasnt over the top dramatic. I really hope there will be more books from the cove written. I'd love to read about Ben and Jana's love life. Please let there be more!

An atrocious boss and being he’s up in a robbery have Ashley second guessing where her life is going. When she makes the move back to her Grandpa’s cottage in Charlottes’s Cove, she can’t imagine how much her life will change. I absolutely loved the instant connection between Tyler and Ashley. Unfortunately drama comes between them before they even begin. Tyler’s feelings for Ashley have him stumbling to make the right decision but the second Ashley gives him a second of her attention he grabs on and won’t let go. Tyler’s alpha personality shines through and you’ll be swooning for the chief of police. Read through Kindle Unlimited.

Alpha man, little suspend plot, good intimate scenes are worth 2 stars. Unfortunately the rest was slow and mundane. Heroine should have been more resistant to hero advancement to create a tidbit angst in my opinion.
