The story of Renee and john.

She is on the run from the police after being arrested for a crime she didn't commit. Only problem is that the person she turns to for help turns out to be a police officer. Can she convince him to help her?

A fast paced and entertaining read.

Looking forward to the rest of the books in the DeMarco family series!

I was really emotionally torn with this romance. Renee is implicated in a crime she didn't commit and is running from a determined bounty hunter when she meets John in a diner. She persuades him to take her home with him and she backs out of having sex with him. After more lies and deception, he finds out she's wanted for a crime and he's hell bent on taking her in. This is where it gets tricky for me.
On one hand I admire Renee's resolve to maintain her innocence and avoid jail but she does nothing but run when she gets the chance. Why not try to prove your innocence instead of involving John, a cop, who has the obligation of turning in fugitive? I know things become complicated between them but I felt more could have been done to proof her innocence sooner.
Which leads me to my issue with John. Although he seems like an upstanding guy and he is under the most impossible situation, I still felt that in my fantasy romance, he would tear down the town to prove the innocence of a woman he begins to fall for way sooner than he did. His instincts were telling him she was innocent but he kept on distrusting her. It was so frustrating. But I get it, it's not easy being a cop whose seen a lot of bad guys get away with stuff to consider that an assumed criminal can actually be innocent.
Despite all of the moral complexities and frustration with these characters, this was a well written novel with some humor. I would definitely read the next installment.
