3.25 stars, and that's simply because of the ending.

Unlike the other book I've read by the author, [b:Perfect Chemistry|4268157|Perfect Chemistry (Perfect Chemistry, #1)|Simone Elkeles|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1403424645s/4268157.jpg|4315675], I wasn't as drawn into this. I liked certain parts more than others and the romance seemed to just appear between one chapter and the next but at the same time I kinda really liked both characters and wanted them to get together.

I know there's a second book that continues this story and I'm off to hunt it out so I can see how these two work out.

Hmm...well I didn't guess right in my hunt for the bad guy, in fact the person I thought it was ended up dead themselves. It was a very interesting and well thought out storyline.

It was the romance that I didn't enjoy as much. There wasn't much reading time of the couple together, not until after the half way point could they even really be in the same room without arguing over the past--though it was all one big misunderstanding.

I like Josh's work and I'm sure I'll read the next book in the series at some point just to see what happens next with these two.
