First off this is not a romance book it was a start to a romance with the two main characters. Things they were dealing should have been felt with in book one. I did not like this part of the book. The mystery was half baked. As a reader I want to be taken along for the ride and discover with the characters who is the murderer. This book half was done off page with Sam. I have loved everything Josh Lanyon has wrote but this book did not click with me. Unlike the first book in the series.
