Another Day, Another Partner takes place in a small town on Rhodes Island's coastline. Luciana Martinelli works as a police officer under her father's command. Even though he didn't want her to be a cop, he granted her the opportunity, and she took it.

Luciana had a few partners throughout the years, but she always managed to make them depart. In any case, she prefers to work by herself. However, one of her partners, Rob Porter, was fortunate enough to remain her partner and eventually date her. Everything changed when he abruptly departed town, and no one has heard from him since.

Her father wants to make sure she has someone with her at all times after an incident. Obviously, this does not make her happy. She believes she can make this new partner flee the same way the others have. She has no idea how difficult it would be for Dominic Delgado to flee.

Dom contacted Luciana in the middle of the night and asked her to come get him. When she arrives, she discovers that his house has been broken into and that he has been beaten bloodily on his bedroom floor. After witnessing all of this, she is curious about Dom's past and why he decided to downgrade to this position although he was a huge hotshot up in Boston.

The discovering of the truth creates plenty of issues. However, as the novel progresses, we learn more about Dom's experiences in Boston and how they have now followed him to Rhode Island. They now have to pursue the case he was working on in Boston, despite the fact that he was supposed to be laying low after being attacked. This isn't going to be simple. Especially when Rob shows up after being arrested since he was the one who beat Dom that night. The important question, though, is why. What made him do it, and what will happen next?

I'm not going to lie: Dom currently has a large chunk of my heart. Their blossoming relationship and teamwork were adorable.

The story
Luciana is a policewoman in a coastal Rhode Island town. Her father is the police captain and most of her work is pretty mundane. That’s until her new partner Dominic arrives. He’s transferred from Boston after a gang bust went awry and his partner of four years was killed. As much as Luce doesn’t want to like Dom, she realises his honesty and experience makes him the perfect partner.

My thoughts
After years of mundane parking tickets and crazy old ladies, suddenly there is loads of action in the small town. This story is filled with action, both romantic and police-take-down action. Despite the subject matter, this is a light hearted story with sisterly love and cute come backs between the characters. A fun read!

Officer Luciana "Lulu" Martinelli prefers to work alone. Who wouldn’t, after falling in love with their partner, only to have him up and leave? Unfortunately, her captain, who’s also her father, is determined to pair her with someone. His latest recruit, former Boston detective Dominic Delgado, is turning out to be harder to shake than the others. Dom’s as talented at his job as he is gorgeous, and the worst part is...he knows it. Things only get stickier when Lulu's ex-boyfriend Rob resurfaces with a far-fetched explanation for leaving her, and an interesting connection to Dom.

Forced to team up with the man who shattered her heart, her dangerously charming new partner, and even her bored teenage sister home on summer break, Lulu discovers her little town isn't as crime-free as she thought — and that maybe, just maybe, having a partner to watch her back isn't the worst thing in the world.

This reminds me a lot of Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum books and I meant that in the best way! The characters are funny, over-the-top and entertaining. I love Lulu and her family. The dad and the sister are so so hilarious. I like the suspense and the action too. I think both Dom and Rob are interesting characters as well. A fun great read!

Thanks to the publisher for the ARC.

Thanks to the publisher, Netgalley and the author for an ARC of this book in exchange for an unbiased review.
This is the first 'cop contemporary romance' in a long time and I really enjoyed it. Lucy (fondly known by her family ... and NO ONE else ... by the name Lulu) is working in a sleepy police department under an over-protective captain who happens to be her father. She's nursing a broken heart since her boyfriend/partner Rob up and left a year ago without explanation and has been running through partners like Kleenex since then.
So when Dom, her new partner, turns up - a recent transfer from Boston PD - she doesn't think he's going to last long. He's chatty and she's prickly - a recipe for disaster. It turns out that she is just starting to like him (helpful that he's hot) when her ex-boyfriend turns up gets her involved in an investigation that kind of derails her budding romance and threatens to do the same with her career.
While the story started out slow the action really picked up and the story-line was clever and engaging. I loved the other characters, especially Lulu's sister Val, and the romance is a little unpredictable which I found interesting. I am hoping the next book will also be about Lulu and her family as I am definitely invested in what happens next.
