 This is a strong and solid 4 stars for this new to me author. I really loved this book for its strong characters and thrilling ride as I sat on the edge of my seat and read as fast as I could to discover how it all played out. I knew when I read an excerpt of the book and was instantly pulled in that this was going to be a good one. 
 Charlotte is hiding out (in one of my favorite cities) after her father has been sentenced for the worst kind of embezzlement. She changes her name and appearance and meets the hunky and way too sexy ex-military city councilman at a tattoo shop where she works. Simon wants her in a bad way but Charlotte (Charlie) can't get close to anyone because of the secret she's been carrying around for the last year. However, Simon is too much man to pass up for long and she caves. 
 I loved their journey and I couldn't wait to see how this new (but seemed seasoned- still SMH on that one) author planned to bring it all together. I connected with the writing from page one and was as captivated with the story as Simon was with Charlotte. Man, the chemistry sizzled and the dialogue was s-e-x-y! It was not an easy road for this couple, but I really pulled for them to work it out because they were meant to be together. I also liked the supporting cast and I cannot wait to read the next book in the series. 
 I am thrilled to have read this one early but trust me when I say this is one you do not want to pass by. Get your copy of Beneath This Mask as soon as it releases!
