I will start off saying that I would have given this book a 3-1/2 if I could have.  It isn't a 4 but it wasn't a 3 either.  This is a series and the first one I have read (I understand that this is the second in the series).  I am not sure if I would consider this a mystery or a romance book? Perhaps when I read the others I can make up my mind better.  I will say if you don't like romance in your mysteries I would advise you to skip this series.This book was pretty enjoyable BUT I did not enjoy some of the repetition of the dialogue (particularly the love she felt for one of the characters - it was stated why way too many times).  Jesse & her sister both fell in love with someone over the matter of HOURS - not very realistic.  I don't want to give anything away since this is a series so you will have to read it to see what I am talking about.  I am not too crazy about romance mixed in my mysteries so perhaps this bothered me more than it would bother others.  Although I still felt that the repetition made me feel like I wasn't smart enough to remember something.There were also a few other things that happened that I would consider dumb.  Why would Jesse go out by herself when they all know she & Billy are targets?  It just seemed too far fetched.  The fact that no one even seemed concerned that she was going out by herself seemed unrealistic.  You will find out the others when you read the book.  I don't want to give too much away.Overall, I will definitely read book 1 & book 3 (not sure if there are more at this point).  They are fairly likeable characters (I really like strong smart female characters & I would not classify Jesse as either - I am not saying she is dumb but she doesn't really seem like a grownup - perhaps this is why she chose her husband as she did - father figure?) & the mystery was pretty good although I wish they had covered more of it at the end.  Once things went down it went pretty fast and it felt rushed.
