Review: Great book, but not enough romance
Rating: 4 out of 5

** spoiler alert ** This was a fast-paced, fun read. It kept my attention all the way through and I even laughed out loud a few times. If you're looking for a book that is a far cry from serious, then this is the book for you. The crazy situations and deranged characters kept the action moving and there was even a little bit of romance.I enjoyed the book thoroughly, but was a little confused by one very important part. When the author first described the US Marshall, I thought he would end up being the love interest. But that wasn't the case. In fact, the guy who was the love interest surprised me completely. The description of Ben when he first appeared in a scene wasn't attractive at all and bordered on crazy perv. I didn't even picture an attractive, sexy man, so later when he reappears and Mazie suddenly (that's how it seemed to me) thinks of him as a good-looking man, I wasn't convinced. To me, it felt like he was two very different men from the first scene to the next time he appeared.And, there wasn't nearly enough romance in this book for me to actually consider it a romance, so I was surprised by that as well. Would've liked to have seen more. I'm all for throwing a little mystery into a romance book, but this book was more like throwing a little romance into a mystery.In other words, I guess this book just threw me for a loop. I had certain expectations (since it's a Loveswept romance) and those expectations weren't fulfilled. But I really did enjoy the book and look forward to reading more from this author. I would definitely recommend it as an entertaining read.
