I felt like the author overdid it with her use of flowery verbiage throughout this book. She definitely has skills when it comes to turning a phrase, but I felt like the story was bogged down by the dramatic flair of the descriptive language. It could have been reduced by 25%.
This book was just not my favorite. The criminal trial was the backdrop to the love affair rather than the other way around. I was hoping for a more heavily detailed murder trial with drips of romance to keep me coming back. It was the other way around.
But honestly, neither the trial nor the affair were all that exciting. It was very believable, so if that’s your thing this is your book. But if you’re looking for jaw dropping or unpredictable, reach for something else.
If you need a quick read and you like romance, this is for you. But if you’re looking for smut, look further. This won’t exactly get your motor running.

It was like a train wreck; disturbing and yet you can't quite look away. It was an easy fast read, but not one character was likable and there was no real plot to speak of. And then it just ends with zero resolution. Overall a very depressing story with a lot of lose ends. It's written fairly well, but it definitely lacks depth. Not a fan.
