First let me say that I would give this a 3-1/2 if I had the option.WARNING:  Sexual content & swearing.  If you don't like that then you should definitely skip on this book.For me the story could have been a five star one but the book had some of the same flaws that most mysteries have when there is a "love" story going on at the same time.  They fall in love immediately, try to resist & blah, blah, blah.  That drives me nuts.  For some reason, the aspect of interracial was an issue.  Not sure why in this day & age and personally it really didn't add anything to the story.I think that the book could have been shorter without the parents as well.  Yes, you needed to add a little history & why Diane is like she is but to me it just made the story longer.I applaud the author for actually "letting" Diane be treated like a real victim.  Many books the heroin is saved before anything really happens.  I don't want to say too much but the bad guy finding someone during this caper was a twist.Overall, I am starting the second in the series but there are some things that are bothering me already.  They leave for three weeks & come back and Diane already has a place & won't live with him for whatever reason?  How did she find an apartment so fast before leaving when the detective only had three weeks to get away?  Not only that but how did Diane compartmentalize what happened while she was kidnapped?  Way too rushed & that could have made an interesting "problem" that she solves during this new book.This book was good for a read but it is not a book that you want to rush out & purchase the next in the series.  Perhaps the second will knock my socks off?
