I was WAITING for the confirmation that he didn't actually go relieve himself with someone else, but it never came. He never again says that it's been a long time for him, or that he didn't end up going through with it. Unfortunately for me, the story soon skips forward several days after he decides this, and it is never mentioned again. There is one point when he decides that he needs to relieve his needs with OW because he thinks his attraction to the heroine is purely since he's been without for too long. Safe w/ exception virgin heroine, hero's past not mentioned too much except to say he had been celibate for close to a year. While technically a HEA ending, this really felt more HFN considering how unstable the hero's life is.

I really don't mind some aspects in romance to be unbelievable, but this just felt lazy. It's just too wild, he didn't even sit down and talk to the hero first. I could not for the life of me believe that the heroine's father would be ok with the heroine marrying a man who has committed countless murders and all other forms of crime. I think, all told, the H&h spent more time apart than they spent together during this story.Īlso, the ending was a little too. I think the worst part of this story was that it took place over the coarse of a week or two and that short timeline was just unrealistic for the H&h to be declaring such strong feelings for one another when they really didn't even spend a whole lot of time together. I really liked the way that this story started, but didn't really like the direction that the author took with the conflict and ending.
