I was disappointed in this novel; it could have been so much more.The first chapter was very exciting and should have set up the rest of the plot, but unfortunately this momentum was not maintained.The main characters are one-dimensional and neither of them knew the meaning of love. The author had the opportunity to turn this into a first class crime/romance but missed, owing to far too much emphasis on sex, in my opinion. Cassie & Jack are totally motivated by their libidos, Jack to the detriment of his job. Even for an erotic novel, the sexual encounters happened so often and so went on for so long that they became mechanical.I skipped page after page looking for some depth to the plot.There were occasions when the characters did not question something obvious and Cassie wasn't prepared to take the danger which stalked her seriously, which totally irked me.Badly edited, unfortunately. Not deserving of less than three stars, but if re-written, paying attention to the tenses here and there and with more emphasis on characterisation, this could be a real humdinger of a novel.
