Things pick up exactly were we left off in the first volume. Ceci gets her hand caught in the cookie jar, but being the exceptional liar she is - she worms her way out of... or so she thinks. Bentley wants to believe her, he knows he can't - knows there is something else at play but he can't seem to play it safe around this girl.Ceci gains a few more pieces of the puzzle that is the mystery of her father's murder while collecting a few pieces of Bentley's heart along the way. The only problem is that one crime may be too complex for her to solve and as for the man... he might just figure out the solve the mystery of her before she has time to collect all her answers.Brooke Cumberland turns up the heat in the second installment of this three part serial. We get to see a little bit of a demanding and bossy side to Bentley that I absolutely loved. But I think what I enjoyed the most was that even when he was bossy (and hot), he was going a bit sweet in his own head. The instant-love dynamic in books is something that, for me, can be hit or miss. There are times when it just rubs me the wrong way - but this time it just works for me. I think these serial format books get a bit of a pass on that because you are given such little space to develop a story, the characters and still have everything come together.I am looking forward to the wrap of this story. There is a lot still left to be resolved for these two and for Ceci's quest for the truth. I am expecting this to end with a bang as not only the truth about just who Ceci is and what her father was involved in comes crashing down. Throw in Bentley - who has already made poor relationship choices into the mix, a man who is falling for a girl (who is of legal age) in high school... well, let's just say he is not going to just be dealing with the drama of diddling the intern.
