This book was recommended to me by pretty much my entire book club. It was on my New Years Resolution list as a book to read in 2014. So, I started it with pretty high expectations, and the book probably suffered because of that. 
 For me, it was a pretty good read. I liked it. I didn't enjoy the suspense part, so I'm thankful that it was such a small part of the book. My opinion of the book was probably affected by having the suspense all right at the end, too. Finishing on my least favorite part didn't help. 
 I did love how strong and independent Ginger was. I thought she stopped short of TSTL moments, and I appreciated that. Derek was quite the he-man, but that worked for me. I would have liked just a little more communication between them, but it actually went with their characters - they weren't really the type to sit and hammer out details around the table. 
 I thought the Epilogue was over the top happy and a little unlikely. (view spoiler)[ As wonderful and talented as Ginger is, I don't see her running her own small business selling decoupaged furniture and making a living off that. (hide spoiler)] 
 The sex was awesome. I really, really don't like suspense in my contemporary romance, so I probably won't read more in this series. But if Tessa Bailey writes a less suspenseful romance? I'd be all over that!
