Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

The relationship between Bree and Austin is one of immediate attraction; a sweet, fun and sexy romance with moments of emotional break down with memories from the past. All of the previous story line couples play secondary and supporting characters . SERGEANT SEXYPANTS is heart warming, flirty and engaging story line. The premise is imaginative; the characters are sassy and spirited; the romance is passionate and intimate.

It’s becoming my favorite part of this series; that skillful blend of laugh out loud funny with the poignantly vulnerable moments. Bree’s keeping a secret. She’s been keeping it from pretty much everyone. Austin’s an eagle-eyed cop with preternatural deductive powers. The most frightening thing she can imagine. Bree’s exactly Austin’s type: a brainy beauty who’s just as feisty as she is sweet. I loved watching this pair fall for each other as they learned about one another’s very different upbringings. I also really love that we get to see the previous pairs being all happy and ‘loved up’.

Love the story but not the graphics.
