What do you get when you cross a woman who walks in on her fiance having sex with her best friend 9 days before their wedding, add in a super hot D.A, and false murder charges?  A hell of a ride!This book reminded me why I love a little suspense/murder mystery thrown in my my romance reads!  The 'on the seat of your chair' anticipation of the 'whodunit' keeps you turning the page just craving to see what happens next.Jada McLean, a super successful hotel chain owner, walks in on her fiance, Richard, having sex with her best friend 9 days, yes 9 days, before their wedding.  Later on, she finds out that it had been going on for some time.  But not only that, Richard has more and more secrets - secrets that ultimately puts Jada's freedom and life in danger.Jonathan Kole, cocky, arrogant and uber sexy District Attorney, has never met someone who speaks to him and puts him in his place like Jada does.  From their first encounter he is intrigued with her.  Fate keeps putting them together until ultimately they are forced to get to know one another.This was quite a ride, I'll tell you that much. It's a lengthy read (over 500 pages) but it never gets repetitive and kept me wanting more and more until it was over.Jada and Jonathan were different characters, to me at least.  At times, they seemed almost one-dimensional and hard to identify with yet they fit one another perfectly.  While Rebecca wrote the characters having strong emotions, for some reason I just didn't FEEL it as I read.  But that didn't keep me from thoroughly enjoying this book.Here is what I loved about this book - the characters did NOT get together right away!  Thank you Rebecca Rohman for that amazing buildup!  I loved reading both sides (the whole book goes back and forth between POVs but it is not hard to follow AT ALL) as they realized their feelings and fought them.  The dual POV works SO well in this one.I will warn you now - when you get to the last quarter of this book - do NOT have anything else to do!  You will NOT want to put it down until you read that very last word.  There are some surprises in there that will have your heart beating out of your chest.I give this one 4 stars.  If you are looking for some suspense, romance, steamy scenes, and a bunch of 'whodunit' this is the book for you!
