I wanted to like this book. I liked the premise for sure! Abigail is on the run from the Russian Mafia she was prepared to testify against before they attempted to kill her, while Brooks is the Chief of Police in the town she's hiding in. While I really appreciate the attention to detail on her background, the book drags on incredibly long and its sequenced in an odd way. The book spends like 200 pages on side plots and unnecessary povs. This book just didn't need anything but the main plot point, which is the hiding from the mafia thing. Also Brooks and his family tend to force her out of her comfort zone even after knowing why she does what she does. He just rubbed me the wrong way a lot which doesn't bode well for a love interest. Abigail is a badass though.
