I liked the synopsis of this read: a young woman caught up in an abusive relationship finds the courage to flee, but ends up in the arms of a good looking shifter. Not exactly a new theme, but I thought that I'd give it a go.First, the execution of this book is poor, I couldn't get more than five pages in before I saw at least three errors and awkward sentences. For example "get" instead of "give" and "pull up into a kneel," kneel is usually associated with a downward movement, so this was odd to me.Then their were the blatantly obvious questions left unanswered; we start with our heroine taking part in a theft at a museum, but we're never told what the antagonist wants to steal. What kind of criminals get drunk (not high) before a job for the mob? Alcohol slows one down, wouldn't they be getting high to speed themselves up?And on top of everything else their were plot hole problems. Our heroin uses the heist as a diversion to escape her abusive relationship. The author reiterates over and over that Tamara has planned and timed her escape, even going so far as to ask her therapist for help; she plans to call the police and get her boyfriend arrested, yet, she has not timed the police's arrival and ends up literally out on a ledge. I can get over this, maybe her calculations were off or in a giant museum their was no place for her to hide. However I could not get over the random description; she's on a ledge and jumps, twisting her ankle in her fall. Further off she sees a woods in  and tries to drag herself their, getting caught or injured on a wired fence that she doesn't see. Where do I begin, her escape plan is awful, who doesn't know that there's a woods behind the place she was going to rob or a wired fence? Where is this museum that there's a woods behind it? Who's plan involves jumping from a ledge like Batman?Please visit me @ [...]
