HE WAS LOOKING FOR ONE WOMAN
And Sheryl Hancock—a steady postal worker with an advanced case of wanderlust—was not it. But when the lovely blonde with the phenomenal memory literally fell across his path, U.S. marshal Harry MacMillan, on the track of a female fugitive, experienced another kind of lust altogether. And he knew that he just had to have her. For professional reasons only, of course.
Sheryl was this close to announcing her engagement to a nice steady guy when she was thrown together with dashing Harry. He claimed that the twenty-four-hour-a-day togetherness was for her own good, but that gleam in his eye had Sheryl wondering where the real danger lay: outside his arms—or in them….

I had a really difficult time getting over the premise of this book: finding an international arms dealer hinges on what our postal clerk heroine remembers about a handful of postcards sent to the arms dealer's aunt. Not only this, but it takes several long days of "work" to uncover it. It's made expressly clear that she doesn't have an exceptional memory--it's just that there aren't many postcards, so they all read them and pay attention. It was such a stretch, and so clearly manufactured to give the hero and heroine a reason to spend time together that it kept throwing me out of the story.
And then there was the dog. Clearly put in there to show what a kind person the heroine was, but I was completely unable to believe that if someone's arrested, their pets will be killed three days later. Also, did it have to be so thoroughly obnoxious? I like dogs, but I could not like this one. What was worse was that there was no other reason for the dog to be in the story.
The secondary plots with the heroine's almost-fiance and her divorced, pregnant co-worker were a bit more readable, but still cliche-filled.

Fun, quick read. Sheryl works at the post office and when a regular misses a couple of days, she stops by her house and gets dragged into a federal investigation with US Marshall, Harry, and ends up with temporary custody of an ornery Shih Tzu.
