I really liked this story.  I liked the plot, loved the characters, the setting (for what it was), everything about this story.  It was so different.  It was a risky plot - good girl (more like normal girl), and bad boy (more like convict).  The author can seriously write.  At times it was quite poetic in her descriptions.  It was also realistic how the heroine felt with the "I am going to do this insane thing, but I will freak out about how insane it is."  There was some insta-lust here.  I know some reviewers like to call this insta-love, but I beg to differ.  And to in  my opinion if there isn't insta-lust it's almost impossible for the tension to create a hot coming together. (who needs slow, gradual, and tame?).  The first 30% I was all for it and then the letters got repetitive.  I started thinking that this is going to be a DNF if something doesn't happen, and happen soon!  Well nothing really happened, there was no great misunderstanding, no cheating, angst for angst sake, but a real dilemma of starting a life with a convict.  The heroine was normal for once, she did have a past, but it didn't overwhelm the story with her "great tragedy", but instead enhanced it. I loved the hero.  A bad (good) boy, only bad when he needed to be and was unapologetic about it.This story was very well done.  There were some continuity issues that threw me from time to time, but overall a very satisfying read.  Almost makes me want a convict...ok, I wouldn't go that far.
