Nikki’s Review:
I was so excited to get started with this book when I read the
blurb. There's something so wonderful about a romance novel with some cleverly
placed suspense woven in.
I'm going to be honest; I think this book would be better
marketed to the NA (New Adult) audience. Keaton and Tilly were both young,
barely out of university. Their infatuation and eventual love was a bit
immature for my tastes.
The beginning of this book started off very promising. Both the
hero and heroine were very likeable. They shared a past, and I've always
enjoyed "second chance" romances. After a couple of chapters in I
started to feel let down. When you open the book, on one of the first few
pages, it says " romantic thriller ". I was expecting more heart stopping
suspense; an element of fear radiating from the page. But that never happened.
At best it was just...meh.
The chemistry between Keaton and Tilly was there, but it wasn't
on fire. It wasn't even simmering. It felt almost juvenile.
There's a lot of unanswered questions that I'm assuming will be
tied up in the next couple of books. I'm just not sure I care enough about the
characters to continue on with the series. It's not that the book was bad. It's
just that it was missing so much...pizazz. I was waiting for the conflict
between Keaton and Tilly. Something to make it feel like they were fighting for
their love and happiness. I was waiting for the action to leap off of the pages
and grab me. It just never did.
