I downloaded this book when it was free, I mean seriously with a front cover like that how could I not and I liked the blurb but there's just so many free books out there I didn't know if I'd ever actually get round to reading it. Anyway my kindle was getting too full so while removing some books I noticed this again and decided to give it a go, it's a slightly different read for me but after a few pages I was hooked, I started it last night and finished it this morning and I really enjoyed it.Sandy Guilianno is your normal hard working student, she works hard in class and out of it as well, she's law-abiding and well, good. Her brother Lou however has fallen in with the wrong crowd and she can see him slipping deeper and deeper. Lou's also dating her best friend Lisa and through these she meets Lou's partner in crime Romeo, now despite the fact that she suspects and disapproves of what Lou's doing, which by association is what Romeo's doing she can't stay away.Romeo is FBI and he has a job to do and nothing is going to stand in his way, he's worked too hard for anything to interfere but then he hadn't counted on Sandy.Like I said I really enjoyed this book, it had enough story to keep me interested, some good characters and of course a little romance because what would a book be without it.If I'm being totally honest I felt that more time should have been spent on Romeo and Sandy's relationship, I know the attraction was there from the first moment but I personally, being a romantic at heart, would have liked more.This is not the last we'll see of these characters since a sequel is being planned as well as several short spin-offs but all things considered this is really good first book by this author.
