Hmm, what to say about this book, I normally LOVE all of R. L Mathewson's books and I really wanted to give this book a 5 star rating, however, this book didn't ring my bell. It was a MEH for me.The storyline is different and it has a good premise (Tristan is a cop that sees beyond the normal realm). I liked the characters and I liked the book for the most part, however 3/4 into it I was baffled by this book and lost interest.In short, Tristan is a gorgeous a@#$hole cop who has been in love with Marty most of his life; however, due to certain circumstances he believes that he can't be with her. Marty also has been in love with him all of her life. Tristan protected her as she was growing up however, during her high school and college years he began to distance himself from her as he started to believe that she deserved a better man than him. However, he has issues letting go.The book is funny and the chemistry between these two characters is out of this world, the back and forth comments between these two character is simply just awesome; for that alone the book is worth reading. The action between the two characters is slow to build, but once they get together, it is full steam ahead, maybe it happens a little too fast given the fact that it took them almost half the book to get together.So far so good, however, 3/4 into the book, new characters were introduced into the book (Tristan's family members from his past) and at was at this point that I began to lose interest. For some reason I found the interactions between the family members too contrived, and the bantering between all characters went on for too long. It was just like enough, move on and reveal the secret. At this point, I got frustrated and I wanted the book to end. It was just too much.Overall, the book was just ok for me, too bad because it started out pretty good.
