Review: Such promise......
Rating: 3 out of 5

This book had such promise but it just came up really short.  First, I loved how the hero approached the heroine - I'm all about being upfront and honest!!  I also loved how the heroine responded to him in the beginning.  Unfortunately, the the story started to lose something after the H/H slept together.  It almost felt like 2 different people writing the first half vs.the second half, which is when it went bad for me.  I understood the whole investigation thing, but the way the hero handled it left me speechless.  Like a really good private investigator wouldn't notice a Camaro following the heroine home every day.....like really???  Like a quick call from an unlisted phone or email from private account wouldn't have solved the problem??  I would like to wipe that entire part of the book from my memory because everything about it was so wrong. The hero came off as really mature and very intelligent in the beginning, but the way he acted in the second half of the book was very immature and downright stupid; almost like he was two different people.  Despite the fact that the heroine cried/teared up a lot (a HUGE pet peeve of mine), I still liked her and I could completely understand why she was so insecure after the way her ex treated her.  I even liked the transformation she made near the end - good for her.  I enjoyed the ending with the parking lot scene!  This book had some really good moments, but that whole investigation part ruined it all.
