This book was pretty  good. It had a good mystery, which I didn't see coming (and kind of "ewwwwdd" me at the same time), some danger (would have liked more than one real instance), and an angsty alpha-male from the wrong side of the tracks, Slade, who bangs the majority of the women at the bar where he's a bouncer. Did I mention he's extremely sexy? Cause you know they ain't a true bad boy unless they a sexy bad boy!The heroine, Heather, is a very sweet, innocent girl who has always had a crush on Slade since her rich family has visited that particular town for years. She doesn't think much of herself, but it's clear from everyone around her she's a looker.The thing I didn't like about this book was the side characters EXCEPT for Victoria (she didn't come in until about half way though). Some chick who becomes friends with her in the beginning and is a "towny"  is apparently the female version of Slade HOWEVER toward about (just guessing) 70% she tells Heather (after they had a fallout) that she was upset because Slade wanted Heather and not herself. Though, she didn't want to be with him anymore, now she just wanted someone like him? Or like the relationship? I dunno, that stood out to me and kind of put a car in my tracks while I was chugging along.I don't really like how it ends either...seemed kind of unfinished? But then maybe it's supposed to? I like things to kind of either be wrapped up or end on a high? You know leaves you feeling SOMETHING. It's not a good thing I have this many question marks in my review.This just kind of ended and I was like "hrmmmm.....okay - next book!!"So yeah, read it...will you like it...sure, I mean, it's not bad, but in the scheme of things it doesn't really stand out. It had good potential though. Maybe a second book can jazz it up a bit. I'd like to see some more of these two.
