~WRITING - PLOT - PACE~
I really don't have a lot to say about this book. It was a quick and enjoyable thriller. The writing was great. It was fast paced. It was told in dual POVs (the majority being from Ellie). The plot was engaging and kept me turning the pages. That said, I pretty much figured out who the baddie was very early on. Last, it was all wrapped up in a sweet epilogue.
~HERO~
JAKE...Jake was a great hero. A sweet husband. He was devoted. He was hot. He loved Ellie.
~HEROINE~
Ellie...Ellie was also a great character. Maybe a little annoying with the whole "keeping the texts a secret" thing. But she was a sweet person. Loved Jake. She was a great friend. I don't really have much to say about either character as the book starts with them already happily married for several years.
~SECONDARY CHARACTERS~
This book is fairly light on secondary characters. There are a couple that play significant roles and I enjoyed them both. I'd love to see Vicky get her own book as well as someone else who I won't name as to avoid any spoilers (lol).
~HEAT LEVEL~
Low to medium. There were some suitably spicey scenes in this one and the frequency felt organic to the story.
~ANGST LEVEL - SEXUAL HISTORIES~
High...mystery wise. Low...relationship wise. Of course, we have someone stalking this couple and so the things that happen to them creates a lot of angst along with the mystery of who is doing it. As I mentioned above, this couple is already married (for several years), so there is zero relationship angst. Neither were virgins (obviously *lol*). There was no OW drama. There was a bit of OM drama.

~IN THE END~
I enjoyed it a lot. The writing was great. The plot held my attention. The characters were interesting and likable. I was a tiny bit bummed that I figured out the twist early on. Personally, I thought it was a bit on the obvious side, but that is just me. I am also kind of curious if this couple has a previous book with the beginning of their relationship? I'll have to poke around because I'd love to read it if they do. All in all, it was a great read so yours truly is going to give it two thumbs up.
