Even with the 3 star rating I like this series. It has a good premise with an interesting crime story. It feels like a first book by this author so really not bad if that is indeed the case. 
 A few things drug the rating down for me. 
 1) Lead character made more than a few HUGE boneheaded mistakes. The writers seem to forget common sense at times. Do they even stop to think what they might do if put in the same situation? 
 2) Character / relationship development needed loads, upon loads of work. 
 3) The demon beefcake. Really need more than hot fabio wannabe to make me weak at the knees. Plus,the fear based romances do not really work for me.
