When the cover is one of the best things about a book, you know the book isn't all that good. I didn't like this story. It's the first time I've read a story by Jill Shalvis. I don't know if her other stories are as bad, but this book was so repetitive and incredibly over the top. The heroine is a gorgeous former model on the run from thugs who think she knows where her dead wealthy husband kept the money he owed them. She does not. The hero is a gorgeous pilot who has had a huge crush on her for the longest time. He gets caught up in her attempts to locate the missing money. He's such a good guy. I liked his character. He's sweet, sexy, romantic and loyal. She on the other hand is one of those too stupid to live heroines. She's incredibly dumb. I guess when you're as gorgeous as she is, you really don't need to have any common sense. I couldn't believe she was supposedly an elementary school teacher. She could have repeated elementary school! The hero repeatedly asks for more information so he can help her, but she keep stonewalling him thinking she's protecting him by not saying anything. My other problem with the book is the sex. The two have sex at wildly inappropriate times and places. I can't believe I'm saying this considering I'm all for smutty books, but when one is on the run from murderers, one does not have sex all the time.
If you want to check your brain at the door and read a really over the top story, this will hit the spot. I was just glad I didn't buy this book. Hopefully, someone else will take it off my hands.
