Oh, the suspense! The author kept me guessing!
Dee Stewart's writing is flawless and flowed easily from one scene to another. I could see the research she put into it to portray a realistic criminal investigation.
This story plays out like CSI, including dark elements, arousing my curiosity while hoping that Kevin gets what he has coming to him. Yes, you will hate him... and how fun it is to read a book when there's an unstable villain.
Conner and Elizabeth have a chemistry that sizzles, but they also make a great team so I kept cheering them on.
Thoroughly enjoyed!

Thoroughly enjoyed the book nice to see that love and good overcome the forces that would tear Elizabeth and Conner apart.
Kevin Warner is ambitious. He wants too much, but his personal a mess. His wife, Elizabeth Warner has found proof of his infidelity, and manages to get Conner O'Donnell to represent her. Things move from there rather fast, not only they fall in love, but they also have enough on Kevin to put him away for good, great read great story and for me the icing on the cake was to see Tex and Mel and of course to find out why he hates bananas.

Conner

Ms. Stewart is a new to me author. Needless to say, she didn't disappoint. This book had my undivided attention from the first paragraph. There are so many twists, turns, and surprises you will be on the edge of your seat wondering what's going to happen next...I know I was! No spoilers, except to say the heroine in the story gets her HEA in the most unexpected place. Get this book, you won't be sorry. Happy reading😍!

Okay

This book was slow moving for me, and there was some darkness in it. Not my style of book. The characters were good.

Fast paced romance. No waiting for events to play out. Need an epilogue to finish Kevin's fate. Does not bog down with lots of detail. Good read.
