review 1: This was kind of fun sometimes and kind of cute as far as romance goes but it wasn't spectacular by any means. The thing that bothered me most is we're told who the murderer is about a third into the book. So it didn't work well as a mystery and for most of the book we're just waiting for everything to come to a head. I think it could have been more effective if the reveal was made at the end and we were given clues so we could figure it out on our own. I guess it didn't work that way because this is a romance first and a crime thriller second. It was okay if you like these kinds of novels.

... moreut to be identical quintuplets. It's always a successful cool-headed strong-willed woman who has sassy quips ready like a ninja with throwing stars, who starts butting sexually frustrated heads with a tall, dark, and handsome McDreamy with a smoking hot bod and a husky voice. The two are reluctantly thrust into each other's lives by Important Crime Situations that nobody can solve unless they can somehow manage to tolerate the intense gazes they throw at one another while managing to hiss angsty born-through-lack-of-communication insults at one another. They throw down shade, park a car in it, and then proceed to have sex in it at least a couple times and then the Serious Crime rears its head and puts one of them in danger. The other leaps in to the rescue and afterwards their love is reiterated, if not declared brokenly into a bosom, and nobody, least of all yourself, is surprised.

I truly am sorry to give this book only a three star review, but I can't help it, I have to be honest, it is not a bad book, but I am a bit disappointed. This is my first Julie James book, and everyone keeps telling me she's amazing, breathtaking and so on, and this for me was just okay. The book had a lot of potential and the characters were fine, but through out the whole read I had a feeling something was missing, I can't exactly put my finger on it, but I will give Julie James another chance and I truly hope her other book or books will have a greater impact on me.
