Rating: 3 out of 5

I was super excited to read this book … It was my first Amanda Bennett read and after meeting her at a book signing and falling in love with her sweetness I was anxious to explore her work.Because of her job, Lyndley Caverly winds up the target of some very bad people. She goes into witness protection where she is in the care of US Marshall Ky Wakely. There is an immediate attraction but Ky resists the pull he feels for her because it is, afterall, his job to protect her. Well, he lasts for about five minutes anyway and thus begins the never-ending hot / cold treatment from Ky. Poor Lyndley. I don’t mean to bad mouth Ky because, honestly Lyndley isn’t much better. As far as their relationship goes, she is really immature towards him.There were several things I enjoyed about the book. Overall, the storyline was refreshing. There were twists and turns I didn’t see coming! Despite the hot & cold and immaturity, Ky and Lyndley shared some tender moments that touched my heart.There were also a few things that didn’t work for me and it brought on a whole discussion between me and my book besties about fiction … when do you let things slide because you are reading fiction and when you don’t. It may have just been me but several facets of the story just didn’t work. Nothing major but when you add them all up, I struggled overall with the book. For example, Ky and Lyndley are located by the bad people so they move to an isolated farm house to hide out. When they are told the bad people found them again and they might be out in the woods surrounding the house, what do Ky and Lyndley do? They run upstairs, have sex, and then go to sleep. Run and have sex … I’m okay with that but skip the nap … there’s bad people in the woods!Overall, the book was okay. I think I would have enjoyed it a lot more if the instances of “that would never happen” didn’t occur so often. You should give it a chance though … everyone reads a book differently! = )
