Oh dear. Maybe this was one of those books that you either get or don't. Sure if I actually cared about any of the characters I might have something better to say about this novel.
The novel begins clumisily, with our heroine receiving a phone call from her business partner to fill out her back-story ("Hey lady just calling to talk about the past few significant events of your life") The putziness continues as our main lady Paige can't work out whether she is a black-belt, knife and gun toting bad-ass or a simpering idiot who only needs to get laid to feel better. Her counterpart Grayson keeps his personality in his muscles, although apparently he has a dark secret that could ruin everything (or at least stop him getting laid) I struggled to suspend my disbelief as you'd have to be literarily impaired not to understand they were destined for each other.
The sinister plot fails to hold interest, I found myself becoming more attached to Silas, a decent cop manipulated into breaking bad, but got barely the amount of page-time the sex-scenes did.
To be fair the rompy pompy scenes are the best writing in the piece. Has this author heard of pacing? suspense? how about cutting your terrible novel in half to at least reduce the pain of having to read through the whole thing.
Yes maybe the only reason I bothered finishing this that writing a vicious review without honestly getting through the whole thing seemed immoral somehow. Then again the 10 bucks got paid either way so whatever.
