I received a copy from the author in exchange for an honest review.I don't like to rehash the storylines during a review, so I'll skip all that. The overall plot was a good one, but the character development for Alaina and Donovan fell flat IMO. The first few chapters were entertaining, watching the dance between Alaina and Donovan. Even their first encounter at the DC hotel was pretty damn hot. After that it got a bit weird. What would you do if the person you got hot and heavy with across the country was sitting outside your house when you get home from said trip? No matter how hot the guy is, I'd be damned weirded out if he's sitting on my porch when I return home.What happened outside her house is the catalyst for her having to stay at a safe house, with Donovan as protection (cause who didn't see that coming?) Although it was kept legit by having a female agent also staying there, Alaina and Donovan still found ways to bump uglies (although the scenes were hot). So after the safe house, Alaina's back at home but then figures out while talking to her BFF that at one point Donovan wasn't sure if she was a suspect in her father's organization. Of course that prompts the breakup scene, although Donovan was all creepy by totally ignoring the fact Alaina wanted nothing more to do with him, since he lied to her (all part of the job, ma'am).One last traumatizing event occurs that has Alaina calling on Donovan for help and pretty much sets the stage for the resolution.Not a bad read overall, I'd like to see a story about Alaina's BFF Elise.
