Bill and Eve have been a constant source of amusement for me throughout this series. It may be horrible to some to know that they're snipes and barbs then regret at their words and constant denial of attraction could be viewed as a source of entertainment, but it was. So I had to wonder what kind of story we would get when these two were finally thrown together, unable to up and walk away, because while their antics were entertaining I didn't think I could handle and entire book of it, and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by how their relationship played out. While there is still that wishy washy, can I let the past be the past thing that permeates throughout the majority of the book, they stop poking the bear and start to see each other for who they are now, not who they were twelve years ago. Billy I liked, have always liked him, but it's Eve who stole the show for me. I loved that there was so much more to her than anyone knew. We've been able to witness her struggle to not fade into the background and allow others to treat her as a doormat and while she still has moments of doubt, she puts her big girl panties on and doesn't allow herself to go backwards. 
 The story moved at a good pace for me, though there was a bit of drag towards the end, but considering where it was at, it was appropriate. I enjoyed trying to work the mystery out on my own, I won't say if my first suspect was the right one, but the mystery of who wanted Eve dead was played well. And while there was no Ozzie time (Yes, I love Ozzie) I LOVED Ace, his antics had me laughing outloud and am looking forward to learning more about him.
