Review: Packs a lot of punch in not a lot of words.

This is a rather short book that packs a lot of punch. It has a darker story line that kept me on the edge of my seat for a most of the book. The book starts out with an intriguing scene that piqued my interest.Then there seemed to be a jump in the story line. In the first chapter, Leeta and Mace are in a stable relationship so we don't get to experience them meeting and falling for each other. Not saying this isn't a romance book, it is. It just isn't the beginning of their story. Honestly, although I didn't feel like the development of their relationship would have be critical for the story line, I am curious how these two came together...maybe prequel idea (HINT HINT!). How does a prosecutor end up with a member of crime family whose father and brother are in jail for their crimes?A lot of times, the time of the characters getting to know each other is my opportunity to become connected with them. So the fact that we missed that part worried me at first, but after the first chapter or two, I didn't miss it. There's enough interaction between Mace and Leeta for me to feel their love and devotion.This story was more about how they come to build the trust in their relationship. Can their feelings for each other overcome Mace's actions. His motives are honorable, but can Leeta look past the actions and focus on the results. One the action starts, it moves quickly. Hence, the need to read it one sitting.I received a complementary copy of this book as part of a virtual blog tour in exchange for an honest review.
