Review: Decent but flawed
Rating: 3 out of 5

I gave this book 3 stars because the storyline is decent and I care about what will happen next but an excessive amount of time was spent on internal angst.  It was also exceedingly repetitive.  I eventually skimed those arts of the book.  There was some humor, which I liked, and both characters were geniunely likeable.  Some thing I didn't like was all the illusion to Roman's illness.  You know whats wrong with him every early on, if you have any common sense, but he can't/doesn't say what it is until 80% through the book.  Also, waiting until 75% of the way through the book to say what Derrick's racial mix was made it diffflicult to picture him in my head.  I am anxious for the next book but more because I want to see what happens with the court case and the political stuff. I'm less invested in the love story because I'm sick of the main characters' moaning about their lot in life.
