THE GOOD:Really good relationship development between Hayley and Chris, and with Chris’ buddies.  I liked it developing over a long period of time instead of insta-love.  I want relationship development, and most authors don’t give me enough of it.The sex scenes were good, but when I got to the 6th one, my thoughts were: There’s getting to be a lot of sex, maybe too much.  I wanted to skim that one.THE WEAK:The suspense about Hayley’s past with a bad guy felt thrown in instead of slowly and menacingly developed.  It was brief and quickly resolved.  I would have liked watching the bad guy’s process to find his victim.  Instead afterwards, someone says “this is how he found her.”There is also some suspense about Chris and a biker gang.  It was quickly introduced, quickly resolved, and left me with questions.DATA:Narrative mode: 3rd person.  Kindle count length: 5,548 (315 pages).  Swearing language: strong including religious swear words, but rarely used.  Sexual language: strong.  Number of sex scenes: 9.  Setting: current day mostly Rapid City, South Dakota.  Copyright: 2013.  Genre: contemporary romance.
