Review title: Not up to the standards of Susan Andersens past work.
Product review: This book disappointed me. The characters were so flat and lifeless that I had a hard time sympathizing with anyone. The secondary characters and sub plot felt thrown in just to give the hero and heroine an excuse to act reckless. And all of the secondary characters were too stereotypical. The thugs, the gay friends; no one struck me as realistic. I kept reading, hoping it would improve, unfortunately it never did.
