Since I have never read any of this author's other books, I was a bit apprehensive about buying this one.; however, I'm glad I took a chance.  This book was surprisingly really good........like really good! What drew me to this book in the first place was the interracial good girl/bad guy:ex-con dynamic and the book's cover.  First, I felt the chemistry between the H/H from the moment they laid eyes on each other, which is interesting considering the circumstances under which they met. Yes, the hero had serious baggage, baggage that a lot of women would have left him standing on the side of the road with, but I'm so happy that the heorine gave him a chance.  I'm not a fan of woman who stay stuck in the past and wield it like a sword; however, I completely understood why the heroine acted the way she did at times.  And I'm glad the drama/misunderstanding didn't dragged on forever.  I was stuck between giving this book 4 stars vs. 5 stars, but I finally settled on 4.5 stars because this book stayed with me long after I finished it and I know it will be on my list of re-reads.  The story was very well written and it had the right amount of romance, drama, and action.  This book isn't for every one, but for those who dare, it will not  disappoint!!May 5, 2012As you can see from above, I originally gave this book 4.5 stars, which is still great in my opinion, and the reason I did so is because I didn't see the ending coming and it took me completely by surprised.  That part kinda came out of left field and I wasn't sure how to feel about it.  Since the first review, I have re-read this book several times and I absolutely love it all!!!  What I love the most is how the heorine gave the hero a chance even when he didn't have two dimes to rub together and how the hero stood by her through everything!!  And I'm so glad the heroine finally made the "cut" in the end - loved that!!!!  Well done and 5 stars all the way!!!
