I don’t read a lot of romantic suspense, so it is a little difficult for me to judge this book - to me it felt a bit like two different books mashed together. I liked Ridley and Colt’s relationship (and Colt is definitely a great romantic hero) but at times it felt like it was detracting from the mystery at the core of the novel. Also, the solution felt like it came out of left field, although I was happy that my guess was wrong because it would have been a lot more emotional damage. The writing was solid but not exceptional. Overall, I think this would be enjoyable for a fan of the genre, but for me was just okay.
