Truly, Madly, Briefly by Delores Fossen

Are your undies safe?

Bobbie Callahan can ID a briefs man from a boxers kind of guy from fifty paces—managing the family's men's lingerie factory will do that to a girl. When a case of superlarge men's thongs disappears not once, but twice, she calls in the sheriff. Aidan O'Shea is thrilled to be called. Not just because the tiny Texas town had all but put the Boston cop to sleep, but because Bobbie's the sexiest gal around!

Tried and True by Katie Gallagher

The sheriff has met his match!

Socialite Clementine Spencer is looking for a change. She's always been a good girl and listened to her mother, but no longer! So a month before her wedding she jumps into her car and takes a secret road trip. When she ends up in Tried and True, Kansas, she knows she has to make a decision and figure out what she wants. And what she wants is Callum McCutcheon, the town's sexy sheriff! If only he weren't so stubborn and would admit he wants her, too!

I've read this book when I was, uh, younger (?) and I quite, uh, liked it.
But!
I have read it again after, well after some years and... what did I like about this book, really?!

First book: Something about sheriffs, idiots and... briefs. You've read it right. Bleh. Wasn't impressed with this book and neither with the characters, I didn't like both the mc's. 1 star, just because.

Second book: Another sheriff (but a really small bit better than the previous), another idiot (the female mc), and another annoying story. Nope. This was almost worst than the previous book. Bleh. 1 star, just because.

I didn't really enjoy the first story in this duo but the second one made up for it. I read it purposely knowing that Katie Gallagher was the pen name for Sarah Addison Allen, one of my favorite authors. It was great to read her first published story.

Read first book in the duo. Enjoyed and found it amusing, in part because of some of the ridiculousness. Overall a cute short story.

Second story was amusing as well, with a cast of great characters. Enjoyed.
