I wanted to like this one soooo much. I really thought she'd go back to her Behind Closed Doors days with this book, but unfortunately it just didn't work for me. Our main character was annoying, the ending was meh, and the story just wouldn't keep my attention.

 This was fine, hence the middle of the road 3 stars. Not particularly memorable and not the best this genre has to offer. It wasn’t horrifically bad by any means, just not overly catching or intense, not really gripping. I was interested to find out what was going on sometimes, but other times it didn’t really hold my interest and was pretty predictable. Just very average.

As others have said, this book felt cheap and unrealistic. It read like a made for tv movie. Paris’ books have consistently decreased in quality with every release since the first two. Might not read the next.
