 With this book you definitely see the evolution and growth of Ashley Wilcox's writing from her first book I read which was Planning on Forever. 
 With Ashley's books they escalate very quickly with the plot and emotions but they are very quick reads. To some this may be a pro and to others this may be a con. 
 In Running on Forever I fell in love with Merrick so I was quite excited to read his book. 
 In Permanent Lines Merrick meets Amelia one day at a cycle race and instantly falls in love. 
 He spends the weekend with her then she disappears. He spends the next two months not being able to get her out of his mind. Fate intervenes and he runs into her again only to find out that she has knee deep in shit with the mob. 
 Deciding she is the one he takes her from the mob with the help of Miles and Kayla. They quickly come up with an effortless plan to take over the mob so they can have their HEA. 
 That part of the story was a bit over the top and completely unrealistic for me. 
 All in all it was a sweet read with love and drama but for me a bit over the top with the mob story line and the quick escalation which totally bums me out because I totally wanted to fall for this story like I did for Merrick in the past.
