Review: Nice mix of suspense and romance

This was a different book than what I am used to from Jessica Sorensen, but definitely in a good way.  Sins & Secrets had both romantic and suspenseful elements, although I would consider the latter to be more prevalent.  Lola and Layton have both between forced to make life choices based on being a part of mafia families.  They have a strong connection rooted in their childhoods.  I felt like all things considered Lola was a strong woman just trying to survive.  She obviously had some issues with the death of her mother and her family's lifestyle, but deep down she was a good person who had no choice but to go down a dangerous road.I am very intrigued by Layton and the circumstance surround his taking a job with Frankie.  There is obviously more to the story there, and I am excited to find out more.  Although it was clear that Lola still had some feelings for him, he is going to have his work cut out for him trying to convince her that they should be together.  I enjoyed the way Sorensen weaved action and suspense into the story and kept me on my toes.  The ending piqued my curiosity about what else we have yet to discover.  I am definitely looking forward to reading more of Lola and Layton's story and seeing what happens with the secondary characters as well.
