No Offense is the second full length book in the contemporary romance Little Bridge Island series by Meg Cabot. The Little Bridge Island series is an adult contemporary romance series set on Little bridge Island...named for the little bridge that you have to cross to reach it. The island is located south of Miami, Florida and is a tiny town with a small population. Each of the books in this series are standalones that center around a difference set of main characters. You do see some character crossover because it is such a small town. So if you are fan of the series, you will get to visit old favorites, like Bree from No Judgments, but you do not need to read the books in order if you don't want to. 

In No Offense we meet the new town children's librarian Molly and the town Sheriff, John. The story kicks off when Molly discovers an abandoned baby in the library bathroom. When Molly calls the police and John shows up, a comedy of offensive errors occurs. Mostly, John offending Molly, and John not wanting to offend Molly. I really enjoyed each of their interactions because John is just so darn nice and likable that it was kind of funny to me that Molly found him so offensive so many times.In addition to the budding romance (or bickering) of Molly and John there are also two mysteries present in No Offense. There is the mystery of who abandoned baby Aphrodite? (so dubbed as the goddess of the sea..err bathroom "sea"...on the Little Bridge Island community facebook gossip page) and second, the unsolved mystery of the high school bandit. Molly being a true crime aficionado tends to butt into John's actual police work, which means that their paths are continually crossing. 

All in all, No Offense was a lot of fun. Some light mystery, some light flirting and a cute romance made this book a joy to read. There were times where I was hoping for more in terms of character connection and romance development. No Offense was more of a plot driven novel with the mysteries taking center stage and the romance sometimes taking a secondary plot role, but overall No Offense was a very enjoyable read. I loved seeing peeks of Bree in the book and I am ready for more from the inhabitants of Little Bridge Island, which is perfect timing because book 2 releases in a couple of weeks!
