"This was a pleasant surprise for an impulse purchase on Amazon -- 99cents, well-edited, minimal typos & professionally formatted. This wasn't earth-shattering, plot-wise, but sometimes you just want to read something & not be emotionally dragged down a gravel road. I liked that the h wasn't a doormat --at all--and while her stubbornness was annoying & unreasonable at times, the syndrome of shutting down/avoiding confrontation in the face of trauma is not uncommon & an interesting turn over excessive drama & chronic weeping found in so many contemporary romances. There is room for improvement with the details. It's a fine line between not enough & too much, but I didn't feel like I could picture the surroundings, even thru the "remodeling", nor much about how Dallis went about performing her job. The depth was missing. Apparently there are books to come about secondary characters, but each will stand alone -- the author deserves a giant high-five for not launching another.damn.cliffhanger.series!"
