This book was an adrenaline rush from start to finish. I started the first few pages just to see what it was going to be like and could not put it down. I read this in a furious fever and think the author must have written it much the same way. There's non-stop action and excitement on every page, which isn't resolved until the final word. I wanted to scream in frustration every time the hero and heroine were thwarted in their plans and couldn't wait for everything to be resolved for them.

In addition to all the excitement, you get to see a genuine love unfolding between the two main characters. At the beginning, I couldn't figure out how the author was going to take such a reprobate character and have him change, but it's done with finesse and believability. There were quite a few times throughout the book that it transcended the genre and included glimpses into the thoughts and feelings of the characters and other facets of their life. I think the alternating points of view were done very well and enhanced this aspect of the story.

I'm eagerly awaiting the next book from this author and look forward to more multi-layered novels such as this.
