When I first started reading this story I was anticipating a romance that consisted around love, lies, and a courtroom romance.  Well, to say it was not what I was expecting says a lot. But, with that as I continued to read, I changed my thoughts and ideas around a bit and it took on a different type of story.We are introduced to Jada McLean as she is coming home early from work just days before her wedding.  What she is not expecting is to walk in on her fiancee' and her best friend having sex in her condo office.  Stunned by what she is witnessing she tells both of them to get out of her house.  The following day she decides to leave and to take some personal time to try and deal with her emotions and all that has happened.  What she is unaware of is just how much her life is going to be flipped upside down in just a few short hours.While spending his weekend in Lake Tahoe, Johnathan Kole, sees a beautiful woman stride by him on way to having brunch alone.  He is immediately drawn to her and causes a scene in order to be able to approach her.  When she speaks to him he is caught completely off guard by her reply.  As the weekend continues the two of them fate would seem find themselves running into each other.  if first impressions are what we rely on then Jada is definitely not impressed by Johnathan.  The two seem to hit it off in the complete and opposite ways than what their bodies seem to want.As time moves forward Jada and Johnathan find themselves spending more and more time together.  As more conflict and issues come about emotions run deep.  Jada still facing the possibility of being charged with the murder of her ex she starts depending on the comfort of Johnathan more and more, thus causing her feelings to increase.As I changed the  view of this book from an expected romance to that of more of a mystery or crime novel it took a better view for me.  I will say that it was a bit drawn out and at points had me struggling to stay focused on it.  It is a good book if you want more of a good verses bad story.  Lucky for me I like criminal dramas so I was able to read and for the most part enjoy this story.  It did take on a bit of a romance plot, but that comes much later in the story.  I will say that I was torn between a three or four bar review so my feelings are that of a 3.75 bar.  Again my biggest issue was that it really took to long to get to the true story line in the book.
