This was a good attempt at a first novel. The plot of the story itself was very interesting, but I felt it could a little more polishing to help the reader feel like they are able to smoothly move through the book. There seemed to be a lot of jumping around and this might have been partly due to switching between characters.

Overall it was a fun read.

This has to be one of the worst books I've read in a while. It started off as a murder mystery and then turned into a soft core porn novel and then back to a murder mystery. The transitions from past to present were awkward and the editing was abysmal. If you are going to self-publish, know this.....spell check is not your editing God! Find an unbiased, educated "first reader" to check for errors. This book was filled with them. I felt as if I were reading something from a teenage girl. show more Also, make sure your title has something to do with your book. show less

I received a copy of this book for free in exchange for providing an honest review.

The premise of the book is good. After her parents are killed in what seems to be a car accident, Liz goes off to college in Chicago.

there, she meets and falls for Nick, a man of mystery.

Unfortunately,the graphic descriptions of their sexual escapades take away from the story. The story itself seems to be secondary to the sex scenes.

I really enjoyed this book. I received it as an early reviewer and I'm glad I did. I think there were some disconnects within the story that left you wondering how did we make the leap from accident investigation to murder plot only to see it was really nothing in the end....that didn't add up, but the rest in between made up for it. I sense there is more to come from the author with e loose threads of the supporting characters in the book, Stacy, Siri and perhaps aunt Jane and show more sarge.....these characters were written with such a strong presence, it would be a shame their voices don't get heard. show less
