Deirdre and Ayden both have emotional turmoil to deal with along with the current situation that adds depth to the story.The tension builds as the case draws to a close and the author throws in quite a few surprises that the reader doesn’t see coming.  I really enjoyed how the author managed to turn the table on the bad guy and keep the reader in the dark, I mean I was beginning to think that Ayden wasn’t that good of a DEA agent until the very last chapter and then the big reveal had me sitting back and saying “why, that smart little bugger,” and I like how she ended their book in the happily ever after part as well.  Overall, I found the book to be a enjoyable quick read and this author’s book one to keep a look out for.
