I received this book from the author on Goodreads for an honest review. Well, I have a lot to say about this story, but I don't want to give away spoilers. I will try my best.This book is about Ana, a 22 yr old working at a police station analyzing cases. Her boss is Jake. He's 33 yrs old, gorgeous beyond belief & Ana is totally smitten with him. Only problem? He's engaged to her mother! She has no idea why a man like Jake would even want someone like her mother. All she's ever done is shack up with some guy for awhile and then leave, towing young Ana with her. They currently live in Jake's beautiful home with his 16 yr old son Matthew. Ana wants to finally feel like she's part of a family, but worries about what her mom will do and is So conflicted about Jake. She can't stop thinking about wanting to be with him and not in a daughterly way. There are moments between them that she swears he may feel the same. Then her mom up and leaves one day without explanation. It takes awhile but the intense attraction between Ana & Jake heats up, once she convinces him, she's no little girl. But Jake stays somewhat conflicted inside about what others will think. But it doesn't stop him from devouring Ana practically any chance he can get. They are really good together. The love scenes are super steamy. They become very close in a short time & when people at work and his son find out, they are delighted! They can see how good they are together. Now there is another part in the book about women looking like Ana being killed in their area and this adds a whole new plot to the story.I really enjoyed this book until the end. I couldn't believe what was happening & I got really angry & sad. I really hope there is a satisfying explanation in book 2 for what happened.I really loved the main characters, Ana & Jake. I also really enjoyed the secondary characters, the people they worked with. This book was funny, sexy as Hell, witty, and definitely unpredictable at times. I did wish Ana & Jake worked more on their relationship than just a whole lot of sex most of the time. And as for Ana using all that English slang and still having an accent when she came to the states at 11, that just didn't fly with me. Now if she grew up there MOST of her life and recently came to the states, that I would believe. But I did enjoy her English slang. It was funny and added more personality to her. Overall, I did enjoy this book and will definitely read the second.And yes this book needs some editing. Words were missing at times, or the wrong words were put in. Sometimes I had a hard time understanding the sentences. But this didn't happen that much and I wasn't distracted that much from the story.4 StarsDefinitely RecommendWill be getting next book
