I will be honest. I planned on giving this a four star rating up until the last few pages. Not because I did not like it, but I figured it was your typical romantic mystery. I enjoyed everything about it, but when the author introduced a plot twist in the last few pages of the book (when typical romances just tie up loose ends and wind down the action), I knew this deserved a five star rating!I was very grateful that the author warned the reader about the sexual content in the book, and I was also pleasantly surprised that it was much less than the vast majority of romance novels. The profanity was relatively mild, and the sex scenes were fairly tame. And it was good to see that some morals were embedded in the book--I always appreciate that.When a romance author picks a heroine that shares her profession, I think she makes a very wise move. They always say that you should write about what you know, and if a romance author writes about a romance author, what could be better?I was quite impressed to see the growth of Jezebel Jinx. I liked seeing the blossoming romance between her and Finn. And I must say that the murder mystery only made things much more interesting. I only partially figured things out, and the climax was quite action-packed.Bottom-line, I recommend this book to romance aficionados and mystery enthusiasts alike. I think there is something there for everyone, and I look forward to the second book in the series!I was provided with a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. I was not financially compensated in any way, and all opinions are 100 percent mine.
