Oh the promise of murder mystery and romance makes me decide to pick up this book. Then something does not click entirely with me.
The character development is off. I can not feel the chemistry between Avery and Aiden even with the murder between them. And I think the author tries to justify Aiden kidnapping just because Avery's family reputation. There is a little BDSM aspect in the romance. Not enough to steam up the romance.
And also there is a lot of repeating words that bored me a bit. What i like about this book is the idea of murder mystery and the pace of the book. It is well paced despite the disadavantage of the characters development.
Overall i do enjoy this book OK
