My rating: 4 Stars
My opinion: Another excellent release from Chevy Stevens. While this book is very well written, it definitely isn't my favorite work by this talented author. Unlike a chunk of her books, I felt this one wrapped up with a nice little red ribbon, which simply left me unsatisfied at the end.
It did have a number of twists and "wow" moments, but not enough to boost my rating up to five stars for me.
