I'm not quite sure how I feel about this story and I don't think that's really the kind of reaction you should have at the end of a story. I did enjoy both the heroine and hero, Lindsey and Mark. I felt like she was a strong young woman trying to overcome past pain and live up to the expectations of her father. Initially Mark was not a likable character but I enjoyed seeing his growth and I loved how he became someone worthy of Lindsey's love by the end. Unfortunately there were some things that drew away from the story for me. Repeatedly it was mentioned that Lindsey came back to New York from Washington and at one point the narrative said she came across the country to come back to Manhattan but later the narrative specified she came from DC, not state. I would have appreciated a little more clarification because I feel like the culture of Washington DC varies from Washington state which would have filled in a little background for me on where she's been since she had last left. I also felt that Lindsey pulled the dumb move of venturing out on her own too many times when she knew the stalker was targeting her. She was too intelligent of a woman for that to be believable to me. I don't think that an FBI agent and attorney would put themselves in that much danger without backup. Outside of the storyline, the Kindle version I read had a lot of formatting issues that threw me out of the story. The text size changed within passages as well as whether or not indentions were used or not. Unfortunately the non-uniformity kept pulling me out of the story. Even though it doesn't seem like it, overall I did enjoy the story but I don't think it's my favorite from Lisa Renee Jones. Her other stories have been so enjoyable for me that she will continue to be an author I pick up when I'm looking for a sexy, suspenseful read.
