This book started out great, with chemistry sparks flying between the hero and heroine. However, it began to sour for me, when 250 pages in the heroine is still stubbornly obstinate about telling the hero the truth of what she is doing sneaking around trying to solve her mother's murder. No matter how badly she insulted the hero, he came back to rescue her time & again. He had more patience than I did.
