Overall View: Where to start, oh wow I loved this book. But then I didn't expect anything less, because  I love Lisa's work. Iv heard her being called a phenomenon and I'm gonna have to agree with them, iv not come across a book of hers that I  haven't loved. She has a knack of keeping you wanting and needing to read her books.  I loved the characters in this book, Hunter *swoon* is so hot but sweet. and Lara I love because  she is such a kind soul  all ways willing to help them in need. and little Johnny. I loved his London accent. If you haven't read any of  Lisa's books yet I think you should go out and get one right away.
