I'm sorry, I have to agree with so-so.  I was disappointed with this book.  it had flashes of good, even occasionally excellent writing making it interesting, BUT only flashes.  it was quick and easy to read, none of the bad language and explicit sex that so many object to (I am not one of those).  it could have used some hot pepper sauce from time to time.  even the bad guys – too predictable there – were mostly on the mild side.  the biggest problem for me was that the hero was so depressingly not honest with the heroine and such a jerk, besides.  I mean total absolute clearly unnessary flat out lies with little or no purpose and jerkiness not mandated by his job.  by the end I really had a problem that she did not whack him upside the head with a chair instead of forgiving him or something else handy.  I know he was undercover, blahblahblahblah, but she had no real reason that I could see to forgive and forget and take up with him again.  I have read books where the H ran over the h and sat by her bedside holding her hand madly in love even though he never met her before and tahdah they ended up married that made more sense to me.  and the father – just came back?????????????? and everybody was “daddy, daddy, how wonderful you are” what a crock!!!!!!!!!!  that whole thing nearly broke h in a zillion pieces.  so a mildly spoken “I’m sorry dear” fixes everything????  NOT IN MY WORLD.  and the fiance who was convicted of the murder – was he another “undercover”, I don’t know, nobody explained that.  will he appear in the other 2 books??????????  well, I bought the other 2 books about the H’s brothers, and hopefully their stories are better and clear up some loose ends from this one.  I, too, must confess to a certain amount of OCD to explain why I would read subseqent stories after a book that I am disappointed in.  hopefully I will find them better or at least not so bad.  or maybe for once in my life I will quit partway through and delete them both?  or maybe I'm just in a bad mood . . .  . .
