It sounded quite good from the synopsis, and I'm not saying it isn't, but it wasn't as good as I thought it would be. Well not to me it wasn't, anyway.
I didn't feel the romantic build up between them. Yeah, they shared a cell with each other for five months and grew close but I can't say I saw when it clicked, it just sort of was.
The best bit for me was the ending; the proposal.
I will admit that I'm intrigued as to the follow-on story of Chase and Remy. What's going to happen there?

Still a very enjoyable read, and I'm both looking forward to finishing the whole story, as well as wanting to put it off because I don't want it to end.
