Review: Not your usual romance! A must read.

Kristen James has done it again! Only this time her spin on romance is suspense and intrigue. Although, I have to say that instead of the romance with a dash of suspense tossed in, it's more of a fifty/fifty equation. There is enough action to keep the reader on the edge of their seat, waiting to see what will happen to Cora and her father.Cora has a very close relationship with her father. After all, he is all she has left. So Cora is admittedly spooked when her dependable father doesn't show up to dinner. She's even more confused when a very swoon-worthy man named Nick comes up to tell her that her father is okay but unable to make it to dinner. Cora then makes the worst mistake of her life... she follows Nick, sure that he knows where her father is.Unfortunately what she's stumbles upon puts her life in danger. It appears that her father is accused of embezzling money from his employer, Keith Holloway, and now Cora needs to clear his name before they kill him. Her only accomplice is Nick, the enemy's son. To make matters more complicated he's attractive and she's falling for him. Now she's on a race against time, and the towns biggest drug suppliers, to clear herself and save her father.Who can she trust, is Nick really on her side? Will she able to clear her father? Can she escape the clutches of Keith's evil henchman Alexander, who has a sick attraction to her? I guess you'll have to read the book to find out! Kristen James does a great job of not overwhelming the reader with super sweet romance and over the top sex scenes. The fast plot is enough to grab the reader and hold their attention. A definite recommendation for the romance reader in you!I was not paid for this review. I downloaded the book on a free day. The opinions expressed here are my own and were in no way swayed. Thank you for taking the time to read my review! Have a great day. -Melissa
