As this was a new author for me I read all the reviews before I bought it and as they averaged above the 4 mark, I thought I could not go wrong.  I was sadly mistaken.  I did like the writing style, even though at times all the ballerina references got over used and were not always in context.  I also like the descriptive text, I like being able to picture the city and environs that the characters are in.  This book is also a standalone novel with no cliffhanger, which I love.Unfortunately this was the only thing I could say I liked.  The plot like is far fetched, but that is OK, it happens, but the day to day bones of the book is what is lacking.  The hero Keane, and the heroine Logan are just average, bland characters that I could not identify with and so therefore I no care to where their story went.  Another reviewer mentioned the fact that Logan is supposed to be helping Keane get to fighting form and does this by the improbable uses of herbal tea and running behind him every morning. I thought that could not possibly be true -  I unfortunately I didn't listen to this lone reviewer.  There was no basis for the two of them to be together, there was nothing likeable about Keane at all, he was just a mean, terrible, shallow character.  Logan was a little better, but I could not respect the fact that she gave everything over to her ex-boyfriend and he was able to completely ruin her life and take everything of value from her.  That did not ring true on many different levels.  Halfway through the book I started to skip chapters and then at about 3/4 way through, just gave up completely.  When you get there, you will know.  You will be able to predict what happens next on your own, and probably do a better ending on your own.I will never re-read this book and I will in fact be deleting from my Kindle.
