This book has me in two minds.
One hand, it had good characters and their romance was pretty good on the whole. But this was a Romance book with a crime subplot. Normally, you have a Crime book with a romance subplot, and that works really well. This didn’t. The crime/witsec elements weren’t woven into the story easily, and when it was brought up it either felt shallow, or rushed. I know it was the subplot, but really I didn’t think it worked as one.
I would have LOVED if this story had been fleshed out More, and the witsec and crime side of the story developed a bit. I also think the ending was really rushed as well - it felt disjointed with the rest of the story.
I really did like Lisa Renee’s writing and overall characters, and the plot idea was awesome. Just a few hiccups for a crime reader to overcome.
