This was a quick 2-hour read. It had an enjoyable love story (no sex), albeit a little far-fetched. I'm tired of romances where the couple falls in love with each other right away. The mystery part of the story was not developed enough. The "danger" seemed to be there only as a means of forcing the couple together.
This was such a sweet book with just enough drama and edginess to made it hard to put down. This was a perfect book for reading at the beach, on a plane or just relaxing with.
