Romantic suspense

To review

I like Ryan´s books because of the suspense and here, oh my, I want to hit someone so badly. I mean *deep breath*, horrid horrid human being.

Fox had a shitty childhood and was sent to fostercare. He is a better person than I would be cos he comes home when his shitty mother has cancer to see to that she has everything. He does want an apology too, but his mother is one of the shitty people in this book.

Melody was his best friend growing up and he is also back cos he wants her badly. He has made a good life for himself and now he needs his woman.

These two are meant to be. They get hot and heavy, a lot. But what is life without drama. First there is his horrible mother, then there is this really crazy woman who wants to date him. She is the one I just want to hit. The things she does, if that was a man he would be in jail. Oh and the secret that he is keeping from her that also keeps the suspense going. It is a nice secret, but .....suspense.

Good suspense, lots of romance.

Good narration. She kept me listening and feelings lots of emotions if you missed that.
