Ratings and reviews

I love how Mingus and Joanna balance one another. Mingus with his gruff, no nonsense exterior and Joanna with her thoughtful, sensible exterior create a dynamic style couple. Mingus believed in her when Joanna was at her lowest. They will walk happily hand-in-hand to their FOREVERMORE!

This book was so incredibly good! Mingus and Joanna were a couple I could get behind. Ms. Mello wrote Mingus so well I was in his head, or was he in mine? Either way, the suspense and intrigue kept me on the edge of my seat, and I loooooved it. I thoroughly enjoyed this story, I think you will as well.
