I honestly expected this to be straight trash, but it actually turned out to be way better than I initially thought. The plot was pretty solid for a romance novel. What was unfortunate was that many parts were glazed over to fit in some other stuff… you know what I mean. Why are we sacrificing plot for sex? Can’t we have both? I cringed a little bit when Derek told Ginger he wanted her in his bed during their second encounter, but there ended up being some growth in their relationship, even in such a short book. Overall, it was not terrible. I’m a little shocked at my analysis. 😂 Book two is a ‘maybe’ from me.

“Ginger would want him safe, but she would never ask him to change his lifestyle or give up the job he loved.”
