I wasn't quite sure what to expect with this story. It was an enjoyable read but ultimately a bit forgettable. Oddly enough I kind of wanted to go and reread [b:Knight|13565914|Knight (Unfinished Hero, #1)|Kristen Ashley|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1333056159s/13565914.jpg|19143978] after I finished this because of similar stories and characters. I felt that Ashley took a stronger stance so this was almost an appetizer for that one. We have a young downtrodden but feisty woman who catches the eye of an older edgier man. There's mutual smittenness and hijinks ensue. There were a few loose ends here that had me scratching my head:So Jake screwed his best friend's girl BEFORE she was his best friend's girl?? What the hell? Why was Dale being such a dick to everyone? Why did Caitlin give up her cat? Who does that? Why would Marianne ignore the hot chief of police and give her number to some other cop?If you like Kristen Ashley you'd get a kick out this one. It had some sweet moments and some hot moments but I found the thriller aspect a bit thin and unbelievable. Still I'll probably check out the second in the series to see if Marianne gets with the hot chief of police. Not sure if she deserves him though. ;)
