Leanne Curtis has shared more than her heart and her home with her womanising man. She's shared her pin number. The scales are peeled painfully from her eyes when she spots female footprints on the inside windscreen of his car. Devastated, Leanne storms off into the night. He wasn't going to pay her back when he sold his flat, his bolthole, his shag-pad, probably, the absolute...! Shivering on a street corner, Leanne comes up with a survival plan. She's no choice. If she's to keep her son in PS3s, Leanne needs a lodger. Brought up in care, Police Constable Paul Davis doesn't communicate well. On duty, he's gloomily contemplating his impending divorce. His wife sleeping with his sergeant is not helping his morose mood. His sergeant has a history, and Paul needs to find somewhere decent to live in order to gain custody of his son, fast. And to keep his job. Wrongfully arresting Leanne Curtis for soliciting, he muses, whilst avoiding five-star-freezer looks from her friends, might not be the best way to do it. Could fate have brought them together, though? Leanne needs a respectable lodger. Paul needs a home. One thing leads to another, and Paul can't quite believe his luck. When a blackmail plot ~ cooked up by Leanne's friends ~ threatens their budding relationship, however, is Paul compelled to uphold the law? Or will he risk everything to make sure Leanne's abusive ex gets his comeuppance? Warrant for Love is not your typical rom-com where only one gal gets the guy - Sheryl Browne brings together three couples in a twisting story that resolves perfectly. With a focus on romance with police officers, Warrant for Love appeals to all readers who love our boys in blue. Complex yet everyday relationship problems makes this read appropriate for young adults and older teens.

Leeanne Curtis, her sister Nicky, and their friend Jade have one thing in common. They have rocky relationships with men. Lee is a pleaser, Nicky a shouter, and Jade a tough cookie, keeping men at arm's length, lest they break her heart.
Both Nicky and Jade, in spite of being the worst people to give advice, try to help Lee get rid of Richard, a smooth operator who has taken advantage of Lee's kind heart and depleted her bank account.
Hovering in the wings we have PC Paul Davis who has troubles of his own. After he arrests Lee for soliciting, Paul realizes his mistake, and although it's love at first sight, Lee wants no part of him. Paul's world is turned upside down as he tries to court Lee.
The easy folksy language used in this novel fits perfectly with the lives of the characters. Lee's son uses exactly the kind of lingo one would expect a teenager to use. In very few words we can glean that he wants to come across as macho but is really a very caring person.
Sheryl Browne works the relationships of all the characters in her novel skilfully. We are constantly exasperated and want to jump into the book to tell one character or another to smarten up and listen to the other person, to give them a chance. Bad timing, written into the book expertly, keeps the love situations of all three women at a frustration level, but Browne throws in a few surprises and resolves each of the relationships to bring the book to a satisfying close.

Brilliant rom com with serious undertones. Follow the lives of three strong women, Leanne, Nicky and Jade, as they deal with the various men in and out of their lives. Sheryl Browne writes with fantastic realism and sharp, perfectly-pitched dialogue. Also told from the male point of view in the shape of hunky policeman Paul. Deals with adultery, foster care, marriage breakdown, teenage children and so much more! Purchase it!

I love to find a hidden gem and this is certainly one of those finds. Unlike most romance/chick lit novels I have read, this one has substance, sentiment and soul. It carries the reader seamlessly between Lee, Jade and Nicky, three girls with their own romantic notions, not always met by the men in their lives. But it's not 'another of those novels' it's surprisingly engaging because the author uses clever use of language to knit each story together and draw the reader in until you feel you are fully involved in the characters' lives and are standing in the story directing events yourself.
If i'd grown sceptical about romance novels before, I'm now reformed, and am off to buy another of Sheryl's books!

Author Sheryl Browne has done it again! This has a cast of characters that not only ring true, but contribute to a story that is fast-paced and frenetic. You find yourself alternately laughing out aloud, shaking your head (as the path of love rollercoasts along)and wanting to give Lee and PC Paul Davis compassionate hugs! There is plenty to enjoy along the way in this fabulous romcom. Expertly written to keep you wanting to turn the page, you will not be disappointed when you reach the end! My favourite character? Well, that's a tough one - but I have to say PC Paul Davis is a sweetie! Nice one Ms Browne!

Warrant for Love - a rompy romcom! Frisky, funny and full of intrigues. This is another proof that you just cannot judge a genre because of one book you might have read eons ago. Sheryl's book is modern, fast, and full of new plot twists.
When I first read it (and Sheryl was still biting her nails waiting for my opinion), I utterly enjoyed this book and was not at all afraid to read it again to copy edit it and THAT does not always happen with books.

Leanne Curtis is in a relationship with Richard, the relationship is far from perfect and when Leanne suspects Richard may be cheating she confronts him straight away, which leads her to be arrested by Police Constable Paul Davis after a hilarious misunderstanding.
Paul Davis is separated from his wife and she is now seeing his boss. Paul wants custody of their son James.
After clearing up the misunderstanding Leanne and Paul become friends and Paul becomes Leanne's lodger and he moves in with her. Could this be a warrant for love?
This is a fantastic romantic comedy with a superb supporting cast. The book focuses on three different couples and their relationship and the ups and downs that arise from being romantically involved. All the couples in the story have interesting stories to tell. I really enjoyed reading this book and I shall look forward to reading more books by Sheryl Browne.

Another amazing book by Sheryl Browne. I'd like to say this one is my favorite, though I suspect my favorite Sheryl Browne book is whichever one I've most recently finished.
Warrant for Love has three love stories wrapped up in one neat package. Lee, Nicky, and Jade are three friends who are willing to do anything for each other and God help any man who messes with one, because he will surely incur the wrath of all three. The story centers primarily around Lee, a single mother who is down on her luck financially and romantically. She meets Paul, a cop who has problems of his own. Nicky, a married mother of three, has troubles of her own - a teenage daughter intent of driving her nuts and a husband who has become emotionally distant. And, then there's Jade, a gorgeous, successful business woman, who guards her own heart as carefully as she watches over her friends.
The plot is complex and fast-paced as the story moves from the lead female characters to Paul and back again. As typical in a Sheryl Browne novel, there is tremendous character development, heartache, humor, and love. The characters (from the main characters to love interests to the children in their lives) are multifaceted and believable. I absolutely loved this book.
