For those who enjoy a very healthy doze of hot romance in a thriller, you'll enjoy this book. First half of the book is heavily laced with romance between CC and Jamie, and I liked that their relationship is more on an equal footing. The mystery and thriller plot gradually fades in towards the second half of the book. It was a little bit predictable but still a fast paced and gripping one. I think I'll be putting the next book on my reading list.

I didn't read this book. I am reading a book by a similar title, and Goodreads thought I meant this one.
