Off Duty is actually part of the Shots on Goal series but can be read as a standalone. I love the way Kristen writes. This story is great and I just fell in love with the main characters, Jessica and Sean. They become partners on the police force which develops into an incredible friendship through the years. These two have great chemistry. They're meant to be together but the fact that they're partners means they are off limits to each other. Will these two keep their relationship in the friend zone forever or does fate have other plans? This is a fast-paced, quick read and I loved it. The other characters in this story are really interesting too. I'm excited to start this series from the beginning and get to know them all.
This is the first book I have read by this author and it's left me a little disappointed.
Billed as a standalone even though it's part of a series was a bit deceptive as you are introduced to multi characters all at once and have no real idea of the relationship. I understand this is the case with most books of this nature but some are longer books so you get more of a back story. At the beginning Sean is supporting his best friend dumped at the alter. Then it jumps few years where Sean finds himself with a new partner in the police force. Another year time leap finds him madly in love with Jess, his partner.
While time jumps work in some books I don't think this book was one of them. As it's a novella the whole story to me just felt too rushed, which in my opinion is very distracting. Also with time leaps I had to check back a few times to keep track of characters, again not something I enjoy gm a book.
As a longer book with more detail, back story and less time leaps I may have enjoyed this story more, but in its current form I found little enjoyable about it.
4.0 out of 5 starsI loved Jessica and Sean together!

This book is about Sean the policeman friend of Gavin and Myla, and plenty of other characters from same world. Sean has got used to seeing his best friends happy, fulfilled and in love. Then he gets a new partner Jessica McBee, and he works with her for a year or two before either one will admit to other how they feel. This was a quick and I felt quite a festive read, but there is so much packed in, with the story and the time line. This is no insta lust or love, they get to become best friends and partners first and the rest follows. There is so much more but that’s it from me, read it yourself. This can be read as a standalone or a great addition to the series.
Sean and Jessica were partners in the NYPD. They start out as partners but their feelings change. They start a relationship. When friends of theirs are threatened they work together to protect them. Kristen knows how to spin a great story that draws you in and keeps you entertained until the end! I love this series and this book! I can’t wait for the next book!
Oh my Gosh! This book is so much I what I believe for my life. Sean and Jess have a great relationship at work and in life together. They know that they will always be together. It great to see how they fall in love and how the see there relationship in the end.
This was my first book by this author. I enjoyed the book, and Sean & Jess's story. I would have loved to give it more stars, but the editing in this book was very distracting to me. I didn't mind the secondary characters. Since this was book 6, I figured other stories were told before they got their story. I would recommend this book, but warn about the editing. Unfortunately for me, too many editing errors takes away from a story.
This is a great book if you want a quick read. The story is sweet, makes you laugh and has suspense written in it. It is great to see characters from other books mentioned because it makes the story more realistic. This book is a standalone and the series does not have to be read in order but as always I do recommend it.
