This book had potential. The idea is a decent one. The execution, however, was not good. The point of view jumped between a plethora of characters without notice, sometimes mid-paragraph, several times a page. During one on one dialog the point of view would jump back and forth between characters so rapidly it was hard to keep track of who was talking. I had to reread many passages to make sense of what was going on. The female lead was a confusing character. She was introduced as a quiet wallflower who took what people said too seriously and was a doormat. She was described as a doormat in the book by the author. And then a flip switches and she attempts to initiate sex with the male lead and begins to act assertive and self assured. Shortly thereafter you discover (spoilers) that she's actually a highly decorated cop from Detroit!! She continues to be an assertive, take charge character through the rest of the book, completely at odds with how she was introduced. The pacing of the book was choppy, it jumped from huge event to huge event with little segue and no finesse. There were a large number of grammar errors. The climax was a complete fizzle. The plot line was confusing during the climax and the explanation that went with it was difficult to follow and didn't entirely make sense. The romance part was seriously lacking. Throwing in a lot of PDA necking and pelvic grinding between a man and a woman does not a romance make. I would not bother with this book again or any further books in the series. Quite simply, it's just not a good book.
