Review: Not as good as it could have been
Rating: 2 out of 5
Date: 08 25, 2013
The cover is hot - what woman  wouldn't like that hunk - but unfortunately, although this traditional plot promised to be good - some fundamental policing errors spoiled it for me.If it were not for the glaring police procedural mistakes in this novel it would have been pretty good, being fast-paced, relatively short and there are no typos that I saw. But the errors are not worthy of an author of Rita Herron's experience.Not sure how she could have allowed the hero to have taken the heroine into crime scenes, let her look around and then tell her to put things back where she found them! Not sure how many women in this situation would be under the guard of one man, when such a violent offender is on the run and searching for her. The police department would have stashed her away until the killer was found, not let her wander around even with the hunk to guard her. The stupidity of Leonora's mother defies description. The violence was pretty graphic, but no more so than what is traditional in a plot such as this.A sex scene is mandatory in a romantic thriller, and of course there is one, but it didn't feel relaxed and natural.Disappointing really and just a little short of "Okay" at 3*  I would have given it 2 + 1/2 if I could have.
