Reviews

I'm not sure I liked the main character all that much, but I did really enjoy the story. Okay actually no, I did more or less like Anna right up until the backstory is revealed. Her and her younger sister were hiding while their father beat their mother up and she wanted it to stop and she panicked and pushed her little sister in front of the father's belt and her face got cut up. It was the push the mum needed to press charges. Frankly I lost respect for her after that. I know people do stupid things but up until that point I assumed she'd murdered the father or something. Or let the mother be beaten. Or accidentally managed to knife the sister while trying to protect them all. Not push her sister out of their hiding place. I get being scared and panicking but I'd be doing everything I could to protect my little sister in that situation, so I was horrified by what she did.

On the other hand I never liked Nick. I didn't understand the attraction and I certainly didn't understand why she bothers to date him at all once she hears him say to Laprea that he was sorry and that he'd talk to D'marco. I mean wtf? I wasn't sure I liked him prior to that, but I definitely didn't like him after.

I don't know, all the romances were weird in this book. Probably would've been better without it. I did like Jack though and I liked how that progressed but it was overshadowed by her relationship with Nick.

The actual legal side of things was interesting though. I liked how it unfolded and I definitely didn't see the twist coming. I liked Laprea and how her points of view were shown, it added to the story and made me feel all the worse for her because she really was just trying her best to provide for her children.

I wavered over the stars but for all my complaining about the romance it was a pretty enjoyable read. 4 stars.
