I wasn't much of a Declan fan from the previous book but Lisa sure knows how to change a reader's mind. Declan Murphy is a surly man, who has a supportive family even though he pushes them away every chance he gets. Behind that veneer is a man who takes responsibility beyond shame and guilt for what happened to his mother. He has never forgiven himself and that has held him back in several aspects of his life. 
 Sadie Mayhew has known Declan ever since he was born and endured his torture living as the next door neighbor. After stepping out on her fiance, Sadie decides to return to her home to her grandmother's place to find herself again. After the first night, she gets chased out by some robbers looking for an item believed to be hidden in the house by the last renter, whose body has shown up in a bathroom stall. Sadie turns to Declan for help seeing as he still lives next door, and the chemistry between them exploded. Without time to really discover what's really between them, they're targeted by the same people who broke into Sadie's house and their fight to get free was super intense. 
 Like I said, I really had a change of heart with Declan after I understood him better. The banter between him and Sadie was funny, clever, and suit both their personalities. The suspense element was well done, I was tensed the last half of the book, not knowing what's going to happen next with the bad guy still lurking around. The action happens right till the very end of the book and made for a great read.
