**I was given a copy from the author in exchange for an honest review.**After reading the synopsis for this book I was very anxious to read it. Ana Sinclair has a huge crush on her mom's fiance Jake. Although he's younger than her mother he's 11 years older than Ana, 6'3 and hotter than a June bride!! Her mother is known to jump from relationship to relationship so Ana's not shocked when Stella up and leaves them all without a word. After Stella leaves Ana is left at Jake's house with he and his sixteen year old son Matthew. Jake makes it clear that this is Ana's home and he doesn't want her to go anywhere. Needless to say this leaves the door wide open for Jake and Ana to start one steamy relationship. Aside from the two of them working together, he's the Captain for the Fairfax County Police and she's a criminal analyst, their main problem is that there is a serial killer on the loose that seems to have an interest in Ana. Can Jake keep her safe until the killer is caught or will he/she get his/her hands on Ana destroying the best relationship that the both of them have ever had?Fair warning this has a cliffhanger!! It started a bit slow for me but I thought that overall the story was a good one. The main character, Ana Sinclair, was British but almost all of the other characters were American; it seemed to be that many of the characters dialogue leaned toward them all being British. I struggled with this a bit as it just didn't come across well and made some of the characters unbelievable in the things they said and/or did. There were many editing errors (spelling, grammar, punctuation, run on sentences etc.) I can usually overlook editing errors but there were so many that it needs to be mentioned. I thought that Jake and Ana had great chemistry and some of their sex scenes were smoking hot. I would have liked to read more about Jake and Stella's relationship but I have a feeling that we will be hearing more about them in the next book. I was a bit confused with the ending. I understand that it was a cliffhanger, but when it switched to a different POV it seemed totally out of place. I wished that Ms. Roberts would have started her next book with this change. I thought that the characters were very likeable and that there was a great deal of potential for a really wonderful read but in my opinion it just wasn't executed properly making it just so so for me. I do have to admit that I'm extremely curious as to what happens next with Jake and Ana as the cliffhanger is a good one!!
