MY TAKE
This is my first book from this author and I have to say that it was good. The plot was interesting. I guessed the reasons early on in the book but liked reading about how Joy worked through it.
Joy is very independent in the book and that's what I liked about her. I thought though that she was a little harsh with Jeff and her anger and resentment towards him was unjustifiable. Even when she finds out the truth she doesn't treat him well.
Jeff was your average sweet guy. He's the hometown bachelor and good guy. Everyone loves him and every single girl wants him. But although he's all of that he is the first to admit that he's not perfect. That in itself made me like him as well as him not putting up with Joy's rude attitude and for also being persistent. I understood where he came from when he kept things from Joy and liked that he let her work through it herself.
The only reason this only got 3.5 stars is because I felt like something was missing. I did enjoy the slight paranormal aspect to the story as well as the suspense. I think, however, that it lacked in the romance department.
Overall this was a good book. If you want a light read with romance and suspense you should read this.
READ it. ENJOY it.
Happy Reading!
