Our Review
Ms. Romig has done it again. This can’t really be categorized as a “romance” although sorry, again I think I might be the only reader who loved Tony. Ms. Romig again treats the reader to a satisfying story and memorable characters. She also establishes a very strong sense of place and each location will stay with you long after you finish this book. Kinda can’t wait for Book #3 in this series, CONVICTED. I don’t want Claire and Tony’s story to end!
Oh and if I neglected to mention it, Tony is HOT. Ms. Romig has been quoted as saying that she originally envisioned Jon Hamm and Natalie Portman as Tony and Claire. My vote goes to either Joe Manganiello or David Gandy (of course). Read. This. Book. Be warned: you will stay awake until 3 AM many nights in a row, you will ignore your chores and your family, and your work might suffer. You will not see these twists and turns coming.
