Review # 1 was written on 2020-03-20 00:00:00 Fredrik Kierulf Original review March 2020. I enjoyed this book. My first read by this author, and I'm happy to read more. I intend to continue with the series. I liked the writing style. The descriptions and the overall feel of the book weren't cliched, and both Hayden and Alexia were interesting characters who felt quite real. I liked Alexia's loyalty and her lasting friendships. Even when the going got tough, she worked to maintain the friendships. I respected Hayden's sense of honour when he didn't reveal the secrets that were making him look bad, just to protect others. And I liked the growth shown in both characters. Alexia grew past her girlish infatuation for Ben as she grew into a real, lasting woman's love for Hayden. And Hayden slowly realised the feelings he had developed for Alexia were far deeper and more genuine than he ever expected. It was nicely done. The plot was interesting, with its secrets, lies, and (for me!) unexpected twists. Seeing the gradual unfolding and revelations of all of the deceptions kept the plot moving nicely, but it wasn't confusing or draggy. Again, nicely done. I hope the other books in the series are as good.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-07-09 00:00:00 Peggy Jenkins [Ben faked his death so that he wouldn't face the consequences of his fraudulent activities. He, along with his younger brother, Tim, was stealing money from his bank's reserves. Ben also led Alexia to believe that he loved her, while, all this time, he had a paramour. He was later discovered by Alexia and Hayden, living a cosy life with said paramour. In the end, Ben and Tim left the country. Hayden and Alexia ended up shouldering the responsibility of paying their debts in secret, in order to protect Alexia's cousins, Rose and Irene. (hide spoiler)]
