This book is a romance, but it also delves much deeper into the human condition.  Eva is a woman who has cornered herself into a mess.  What seemed like a good idea turns out to be not such a good idea after all.  So, like many people who find themselves dug into a mess of their own creation, she digs herself deeper.  In Eva's case, she has become a con artist, and has attached her star to a man she doesn't really love.  Although she doesn't always realize it, she is seeking both redemption and true love.  This is the story of how she goes about figuring out what she actually wants, attempting to manage her desires with her perception of prudence, trying to achieve her goals, and trying to find happiness.Charlie offers Eva everything she truly desires: love (of course!), the freedom to be true to herself, and the possibility to start over.  Victor, on the other hand, offers security, wealth (and all the good things that go with money), success in a career, the illusion of popularity, and some measure of fame.I particularly liked the way this story plays with the good guy and bad guy roles.  I can't really explain that comment without giving major spoilers; I can only say that the black and white hats are moving targets, and not always what you think.  Nothing is simple and straightforward in Eva's life, or in her story!Disclaimer: I received a free advanced copy for my honest review!
