I enjoyed this book. Plenty of interesting twists. Liked the mc’s. 😀

I think my first problem with this book is that the synopsis is truly not a great representation of what the book is mostly about. I just had a really hard time connecting with the FMC and the reasons behind her choices. For these reasons, DNF at 30%

Either this is AI or the writer doesn’t edit or proofread or pay to have it done. By the 42% mark, the phrase, “blank (item) must have cost more than I make in blank(amount of time) no less than 8 times. It was used to describe suits, evening gowns, apartments, etc. It took me completely out of the story to the extent that I started making tick marks to keep track.

Deciding to bring a child into this mess of a story was when I DNF. Also, silly errors that a good spell checker/ proofreader would have found. Sloppy: 'beleive'
"By lying your way into someone's home? By using his daughter to get close to him?"
She's so suspicious about him, for NO reason at all other than a few notes her brother made. There is NO basis for this: "Hunter drops her off and picks her up himself every single day. Rain or shine. I've never seen a dad more devoted." Or more controlling.
Just laughable: "Overprotective. Another word for paranoid. Or another word for guilty." Because he likes to take his kid to/from school?

Unexpected love
Story is a 4.5 for me only because I wanted full disclosure on final consequences for the villian.
Our heroine is moving through life wearing grief colored glasses and fighting every feeling she has. She needs the truth by all means but doesn't see clearly. The hero just wants to protect his little girl and love was not what he was looking for. He knows more than he is telling her. As they nagavaite these feelings and figure out the truth her grief throws a curve ball neither of them saw coming

nice book
I enjoyed this book and whilst I had a suspicion, I also suspected other people throughout the book as well.
The ending seemed to happen quite quickly where as the rest of the book was well paced.
Enjoyable.

There were so many holes in this story. Bringing a child into this story was just wrong.

Pretty decent read. Loved the suspense, not my favorite but it didn’t make me want to pull my hair out, so that counts for something.
