The frenetic pace also makes it hard to form any attachment to the lead characters. The romance seems forced, often popping up out of nowhere and then dropping out of sight for extended periods. There are long stretches in the second half when any trace of romance, or even any sense that Nicki and Alex are still working together, disappear, as the scene begins to get crowded with secondary characters.
I would almost say this is a book mainstream thriller readers would like better than romance readers. I still haven't gotten around to reading book two, "My Baby, My Love" the hook-heavy cover--pregnant woman is struck with amnesia and man pretends to be her mate! Anyone with any desire to read it might want to hit that one first.
There is much to admire in the style Sinclair has chosen, a welcome change of pace from books that overdose on the romantic hand wringing and don't give enough meat in the mystery. Sinclair packs a lot of mystery in her book and her voice is strong and distinctive, but the story is almost too fast-paced.

Combining the style with a little more clarity will make her a writer to reckon with. Years ago, Nicki and Alex were in love, and although nobody could understand the good-girl-bad-boy pairing, she was convinced they'd last - until he ran out on her. Years later, she's settled in a peaceful but undemanding life, until she finds herself caught up in a murder investigation.
Alex is back in town, and all signs point to him being the murderer. Can Nicki trust the man who broke her heart? I've read this twice, the last time being four months ago, and I cannot remember what happened in Years ago, Nicki and Alex were in love, and although nobody could understand the good-girl-bad-boy pairing, she was convinced they'd last - until he ran out on her. I've read this twice, the last time being four months ago, and I cannot remember what happened in the darn book except that I found it vaguely annoying.
Alex was fine except for his Jimmy-Carr haircut on the front of the UK cover! I have no problem with innocent heroines, but they have to have common sense, and Nicki didn't. Come on, lying to the cops and saying you witnessed when it was actually your friend - really? I don't care why you're trying to protect her - that is an unforgivably stupid act.
A few of the things she said were irritating, too, for example: It seems like such a stupid, generic question - it reminds me of dating site profiles that say, "I like listening to music and spending time with friends. But first impressions can be hard to shake.
All in all, the plot was fine and the Nicki-Alex relationship was sweet enough, but those initial impressions of Nicki let the rest of the book down.
