*ARC provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.**3.5 Stars**For a debut work, I thought Trust Me was pretty good. The plot was exciting and you can tell that the author has done her research with this book. I also personally loved that this book's setting was set in San Diego (one of my favorite cities).I enjoyed the pinch of suspense that was provided in this story to keep you reading and guessing. I also enjoyed the amusing banter between Alaina and Donovan. They did seem realistic to me. However, as for the chemistry between them I felt it was more on a telling basis  rather than showing. When I read about a couple in a romance novel, I want to *feel* their attraction and their chemistry radiating off the pages rather than being told about it. Thus, it was harder for me to grasp that with Alaina and Donovan.I liked that I got to spend plenty of time with Alaina and Donovan in Trust Me. With this, I did see their relationship flourish throughout the story. Donovan was sweet and I felt sorry for him when Alaina kept giving him grief about lying to her. Woman, he was doing his job! But, I guess I can see why she would feel that way since she was deceived by her own father. I had no issues with Alaina throughout the story, but kind of got fed up with her towards the end when she kept pushing Donovan away and claiming that she wanted nothing to do with him. Yet, she kept having sex with him and claiming that what they had was just physical and nothing more. She just came off a bit unlikeable to me by that point.I had also hoped that the ending would hit me with more impact considering the whole story was about Donovan and Alaina trying to discover who was behind the terrorist bombings and embezzlement. Yet, the ending fell a bit flat. When they did find out, it all ended too easily and way too fast in my opinion. I was left saying, "Really? That's it?" But, we were left with answers and a happily ever after so it did kind of wrap up the story nicely.Overall, Trust Me did keep me entertained even though I did have some minor issues with the story. There were some spelling errors and a few missing periods, but not anything huge to make me want to throw down the book. Now, I am intrigued with Elise and Agent Dominic Casavetti. I hope they'll get their own story. If you like Romantic Suspense served with erotic love scenes, check out Trust Me by Anna Wells. I think you'll enjoy it.
