***Warning Spoiler Alert***I don't like books with wimpy heroines, and Lexi is as wimpy as they come.  The first part of the book lays her family's background and shows why she's so driven to succeed.  A couple of chapters cover her romantic involvement with a Jasen who plows through most of the women on campus.  That is until he meets Lexi, because she's so special he willing to wait to have sex with her.They finally have sex (you had better pay attention or you'll totally miss the sex scene), and they live in each other's pockets walking around blindly being in love.  Lexi ends up pregnant and spends the day trying to reach Jasen.  When she does find him, he's in a compromising situation with another woman.  Instead of trying to figure out what happen, she runs away like a little girl and has an accident that kills the baby.Fast forward twelve years later; Lexi is so focused on work that she has no time for romance.  She meets a dentist and begins to date him, but she's not really into him.  Instead of just telling him that she has no feelings for him she continues to date him and give him hope that one day they'll become married.Next then you know, wham, Lexi runs into Jasen who is now an assistant pastor.  He's still just as boring as he ever was and he gives her wide berth not wanting to make her feel uncomfortable.  This little tug of war goes on for another chapter and Lexi finally lets Jasen explain what happened twelve years ago.  Fast forward six months ahead, finds Lexi, Jasen engaged, and planning the wedding of the year.  Boom, Jasen is arrested for murder.The book started slow and by the end, I felt as if I were running the 100-meter dash.  It hopped around so much towards the end that I lost interest in the story.  I won't check out the next book because I just don't care about the characters enough to see happens to them.
