This is the first book I've read by Sarah M. Eden and so I had no preconceived notions of her writing or storytelling abilities. My main issue with this story is the constant reminder that Paisley Bell wants a job that is not open to her. At this point, I'm weary of the feminism/misogyny theme; it seems to be more important than the romance between the main characters.

The best thing about the story is the seamless plotting and numerous plot-twists. The best thing about the two main characters is the lively banter between them. However, neither character seems to grow much in this story. Cade arrives on the scene without much backstory and doesn't change much.

Lately, I've started commenting on the narrator when I listen to a book. This book was read by Kirsten Potter. I didn't really think her reading was an addition to the story. In fact, I liked the story less because of her reading.

I guess the hanging ending of this book is to leave room for the author to write a sequel. I won't be waiting for it; I thought this one just wasn't all that interesting. Yes, the main female wanted and persued an unusual occupation, but the feminism theme just didn't speak to me.
