I LOVED THIS BOOK AND SADIE AND JAKE DID MAKE A CUTE COUPLE! Jake was like his mom as she had always planned to travel when her sons grew up and took over the diner, but Jake was the only one who had studied abroad and was lured to NYC to become a day trader, but he was tired of the job and had to play up how happy he was to his bosses. But his dad died doing what he loved, and Jake decided to quit his job, move back home, and fake a marriage to Sadie so that his mom could follow her dream. I loved how Sadie worked at the diner part time and taught at a museum in Pittsburgh, and had thought about teaching English in South Korea like her friend had done, but she was unsure that her job would be waiting if she didn't like it there, but Jake thought of a plan to get his mom her dream, and all she needed to do was fake a marriage for six months.… (más)

DNF at 24%, because I was dreading each paragraph. With a vicious edit, this could be a good novella, but it is a tedious novel. The heroine is okay, as far as I got in the story, but isn't given much. The hero is contradictory. I'd assume a NYC trader to be decisive, but he's inept, and there are emotional reasons, but when it gets tiresome, the author didn't do their job. So yeah, no.

I love finding new romantic suspense authors, especially ones who aren’t afraid to cross that line on sensitive subject matter.

Now how to describe this book as so many of the characters are in no win situations. As I got further and further into this book I couldn’t see how the author was going to be able to save the characters that had found them each in an impossible situation. Without giving away any big spoilers the author chose to give an ugly realistic outcome for one. Now for those that are worried that the author kills off the hero or heroine that does not happen but there is a shocking scene that deeply sadden me but it does unfortunately happen all too often in the real world.

Right from the start you are sucked into the story and I was on the edge of my seat chapter after chapter waiting for what I knew was going to be a shocking climax to the story. I was not disappointed.

This is the first book in what’s going to be a series which has Charlie Hart and Mitch Saunders (main characters in this book) form a private investigation firm called Retrieval, Inc.

You gotta love when the title of the book is an accurate depiction of the story cause someone was seriously unhinged in this book.

I loved this author's debut book and was looking forward to seeing what was next. This book kicks off a new series but has some loose ties with the other series via the characters.

Interesting thing – the leads weren't written in the typical damsel in distress saved by a big alpha man. Aiden Miller is a very rich and successful businessman but he also suffers from anxieties from a situation that lasted many years in his past. (I'm choosing not to go into detail about what that is so the reader can be surprised.) On the recommendation of his Dr he was sent to oversee one of his family's smaller grocery stores to help in alleviating some of his stress. Yeah that didnt work out to well as right away he finds himself attracted to very confident and brash woman, realizing the store is losing money and its turn over rate on employees is high and it gets even worse when the police inform him drugs are being sold out of his store and they want to set up a sting.

Tori Radnor is starting over in life with her teenage son. All she wants to do is to help the unemployed homeless get reestablished back into the work force. Tori came from money and even married money but after a disastrous marriage and losing everything and her snooty parents being ashamed of her homeless state she decides she is going to help others and that means starting from the bottom and working her way up on her own. She refuses to ever rely on another person again after being let down by both her parents and ex-husband. She too is instantly attracted to Aiden but after her past resists it as long as can.

We get the baddie's POV through out and its obvious from their thought process they are unhinged. The author did a good job of not letting the reader know who it was and even once we did there was still a huge shocking revelation you didn't see coming.. Those are always my favorites in suspense books...

Not as dark and intense in subject matter as Runaway but the story still engages your attention from beginning to end (and what an ending it was)..
