GO TO [...] TO READ MY ENTIRE REVIEW!What I Loved:This book was freaking awesome!  I loved each and every one of the characters in this book and by the time I was done I actually missed them.  I really liked the protagonist in this book a lot; she had such tenacity and energy in each and every scene.  Jenn is very easy to love and from the very beginning you instantly root for her.  Her interactions with Jack are hilarious and I love how she just kind of stumbles upon trouble each and every time she disobeys Jack’s orders.  I loved that she packed up her stuff and moved to a place she always dreamed of being and finds her soul mate there.Jack Gunnison is amazing; I have completely fallen head over heels in love with him right off the bat.  I love alpha males that boss people around take control of a situation without asking.  They just bulldoze right into your heart and permanently take up residence there.  He is totally the knight in shining armor in this book and it’s even better that he has handcuffs handy.  I am a total sucker for a man in uniform; especially they are full of testosterone and go after exactly what they want.  Jack fits right into this category for me and he never lets me down!I really liked that this wasn’t just a love story; it’s also very much a murder mystery.  There is so much going on all at once in this book that the story never becomes boring.  This story is definitely filled with many suspenseful moments, and it just fueled me to just keep reading.  I love that this book although is suspenseful is also filled with funny moments that had me laughing out loud.  It’s so great when a book can add comic relief to a story that has very serious situations in it because it gets me more emotionally involved of what’s going on and it helps to lighten the mood.Not So Much:I wish there was more background details in the book, I felt like I just got vague descriptions of things but nothing that reflected the characters the way it should.  For example, Jenn’s cabin is barely described in the book all I really know is that it has wooden furniture in it and I know it has a kitchen and a bedroom.  But that’s kind of it, I would’ve liked to have known lay out of the house, I think at a certain point it was mentioned that it was one bedroom but that’s all I got.  I like when the decorations in a house are described, what kind of furniture is in the dining area is there is one, what the living room looks, where is in the house, what does the bathroom look like.  The same can be said for Jack’s house I have no idea if his house is two stories, one story, how many bedrooms it has, and again the general lay out of the house.  I have no idea that when I walked into his house from the front door what I see and what room I’m in.  I felt that it was a little inconsistent when it came to details because when Jenn is describing the look and feel of the Lumberjack Steakhouse there was all kinds of descriptions and it was only in one scene.  I wish that much attention was paid to the actual places the characters were in living in.Also I kind of felt like at the end it was a little too much.  People get kidnapped every day, but it’s kind of ridiculous to survive one be in a coma for a week and soon after get kidnapped again.  I get serial killers have weird obsessions with people and they fixate on that and then do crazy stuff, but when you add another crazy person into the mix it gets to be unrealistic.  I understand that Jenn is beautiful person and all but what are the odds that not one but two psychos obsess over her because of the same exact reason and kidnap her.  I thought was a pushing it a little, but I will say it gave the book some great adventures and definitely some heart racing moments.
