I <3 Valentine's Day and I am a sap for any Valentine related book, hence why I got this one.  I thought it would be a nice break from my current tour of alpha billionaire led romance.  I love a thriller and paired with a Valentine theme, I was hoping for some hot action (in and out of the bedroom), however the action was lukewarm at best.  I didn't feel any chemistry between Tess and Jack. I felt like I never got to know Tess. Tess is supposedly an uptight lawyer who left her privileged ,moneyed world behind, but we don't know why.  Jack is still intrigued, again why because she's about as warm as an icebox. They supposedly were once good friends but this is but a blip in the story.The 'mystery" behind Jack's  past is not really mysterious since it's pretty much spelled out for us half way though.  The writing tense and tone also changed about half way as well.  Tess is the protagonist until it abruptly changed from her to Jack. I love when authors give us different perspectives of the same event especially when we can get inside a guy's head, but in this case it just felt awkward.I am thankful that the author gave us a complete, stand alone novel (no cliffhangers here), but it was just okay for me.
