This book took me a little long to get through and I can only guess it's because I couldn't connect to the characters.  The thing is I really liked the first book in this series and in `Hot Secrets' I liked Julie's character and I was curious about Luke.I felt like Julie was way too confused and all over the place. I like Luke well enough, but he felt a little flat for me, there wasn't a lot of depth to this super sexy, super strong SEAL, I wanted more out of him.The formatting was an issue on the Kindle addition as well as a few editing issues, I understand editing issues happen they happen in my own books, but I just want others to be aware of them; there were missing page breaks, a lot of end quotations at the beginning of the sentence, randomly placed backslashes, this is not only a formatting issue but and editing issue, there were numerous sentence that had words missing--a and the are important.I get what a lot of others were saying about the ending it felt like it kind of just hit you in the face, all of a sudden Julie was at the subway, then Royce was there too with no explanation.I wasn't really sure what Gina's character brought to the story she felt a bit like a page filler, the story would have progressed just fine without her, then there was the man in elevator . . . who was he? Did I miss his significance?Finally and this is probably why I rated this book as I did was that someone should have caught the mistakes that were made with some of the character names; at one point someone refers to Julie as Ms. Moore her last name is Harrison. Then there's Blake's murdered fiancée first she's referred to as Sara then Rebecca these are mistakes that drive me crazy, know your characters.I will say that I am still a fan of Lisa Renee Jones and I will absolutely read Blake's story as he's the one brother I've been truly curious about since `Hot Secrets'
