Much better than "Cold Truth;" the romance was more obvious because the characters showed more affection for each other throughout the book rather than just at the very end and actually got to know each other. Also, I felt it benefited by focusing more solely on the two main characters, with Reagan and Mitch being simply side notes instead of another set of characters vying for attention; it gave the story more time for the character/relationship development that was abbreviated in "Cold Truth." However, while it was an improvement over "Cold Truth," it suffered from the same problem of not being very passionate and not really drawing you into the story. Also, I felt the characters were a bit stupid about the killer near the end, and the whole resolution with Mellie was just abrupt and stupid *so much for "best friends."* Overall, better than "Cold Truth," but still only good enough for a rental, not to buy.   hide

I like the way the story slowly unfolded and the characters gradually developed and ofcourse, the leads tenderly fell in love. Other than that, I think there could be more added to let the development of story be more fluid. But it was a good read.
