I liked the idea of this but the reality felt flat. I didn't really like either character. Jagger was annoying and Ronnie was naive. There wasn't really any action until a fair way through. Overall 1.5 stars. ( )

*I received a free copy of this book from Goodreads for an honest review.*

I liked that throughout the entire book, Ronnie was in love with Jagger and trusted him to look after her. Yes, she had her moments of doubt, especially when it came to pulling off the job, but who wouldn't?

Ronnie had been in love with Jagger since she was nine years old. That kind of love is hard to find and even harder to keep. The book was so well written that it had me rooting for Jagger and Ronnie, the whole time I read it.

I like that Jagger tried to protect Ronnie, both from himself, and from the situations and people they found themselves involved in.

This book sort of reminds me of the TV show Burn Notice, and I loved Burn Notice from the very beginning, just like I loved this book from the beginning.

Both Ronnie and Jagger had their share of ups and downs and lots of problems, but I'm glad that after they reunited, they stayed together and worked through those problems, together. ( )
