Thankfully, I downloaded this book free of charge; I see that the price has gone up to nearly $5; after having read it, I'm glad that I didn't pay anything for it. To begin with, I found myself not particularly caring for the main character, Shauntel.  The author first describes her as someone who has learned to "work men out of their money," and her character seemed to go downhill from there.  I would have liked the book more if the main character had been more likeable, but try as I might, I couldn't find much about her to admire.  Add to that that the book started off with a graphic sex scene, which is not really my interest in subject matter.  Had it not been for the fact that I don't like to give up on a book or its author easily, I would have stopped right there.  Another problem with this book is the lack of editing, coupled with the author's poor use of the English language; had the book been edited better, and the author been more careful with the way she wrote, the book could have been a bit better. While the story could have been a good one, it seemed that Shauntel and her fiance Nate, zeroed in on one main suspect for the stalker, and then didn't appear to consider any others, so the story lost some credibility.  Lastly, there is a lot of gratuitous sex, and while it's not my cup of tea, if that's your thing, there's plenty of that to be had.  All in all, I was thoroughly disappointed in what I thought might have been a good book; the description, and the other reviews here, lead you to believe that this is a "not to be passed up" kind of book, but my suspicion is that the author paid some people to give her a good review, otherwise, I don't see how this book got any. I won't be bothering with anything else this author might write.
