Amazingly awesome romantic suspense, with a mystery that kept me guessing until the very end.When Jada, a wealthy hotel entrepreneur walks in on her fiancé and best friend having sex in her home office on her desk, she has an interestingly ballsy reaction to it. Ending her relationships with both of them and canceling her wedding within minutes of this startlingly disgusting revelation. She packs up and leaves her home in San Francisco to get away and regroup a couple of hours away in Lake Tahoe. After crying her eyes out and trying to avoid any and all interaction with anyone she finally ventures out to breakfast and that is where she meets the wonderfully non-charming Jonathan. The sparks fly between them with some very charged banter that left me grinning and hysterically laughing. When in one day they have three encounters that leave much to be desired, it is discovered that they both live in San Francisco and that Jonathan is the District Attorney.And that is when it gets all kinds of jacked up and mysterious. . . this book is crazy good with all of the twists and turns that it takes. First you've got the fact that someone murdered Jada's fiancé, than you've got someone being slightly stalkerish, trying to break into her house, calling her, blackmailing her. Then there's Jonathan, the D.A., who is very much interested in Jada and she wants him too but there is the whole thing of her being a murder suspect. Plus his Dad becomes her lawyer!Pure and utter complete freaking awesomeness abounds with all kinds of twists, murder, love, deaths that left me stunned, and situations that left me chewing my nails in the midst of my freak out to see what would happen next.I was unsure of my feelings for Jada in the beginning, she seemed kind of cold and I was really unsure if I was going to like her or not. But turns out I did, she's pretty awesome and not at all cold. She's a smart, ballsy, very well put together woman. And Jonathan, is the perfect match for her. I love who he is and that in the begininng I was unsure of my feelings for him too. But about 20% into the book, things began to flow really well and I began to really like both of these characters.Their relationship is awesome. The time that Rebecca Rohman puts into building the relationship between them was perfect. This is not an insta-love story, this is one that takes time and I loved it. Their chemistry is off the charts sexy and sweet and their banter often had me laughing hysterically.Altogether this is a book for anyone that loves a really good romantic suspense filled thriller. It's sexy, funny, and mysterious, with an ending that had my jaw dropping and characters that I couldn't help but root for, not to mention a relationship that is all kinds of wonderful! I loved this book and would definitely recommend it.I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.Originally posted on Me, Myself & Books
