The author deserves a minimum of 4 stars for originality; what the reader sees is not necessarily the truth. What is really going on is not revealed until the last few pages. I thought the author was clever and wrote a very interesting book; it was hard to put the novel down.

Sharisse Hammond and Lucas Holt decide to use each other; each needed some temporary help with a situation each was facing. That would have been fine if each had been honest with each other and mutually agreed to help the other. However, they each lied. That still would have been ok except that they developed feelings for each other and things got complicated. This is not a story that can quickly be summarized in a few sentences -- or a few paragraphs.

I'm glad that I read the book but must admit that I had to think about things at the conclusion. Had I been tricked? When I thought about it, I realized that the plot worked for me. I must admit that I thought the end was rushed.
