Poor Darby enters quickly into a marriage, and it turns out to be nightmare. When she finds out she is pregnant, she has to get away. But, Sean, her husband won't let go easily. Her ally in the battle for freedom in the attorney she hired, Jack.

I felt a little uncomfortable with the romance between Darby and Jack because, hello, she was embroiled in a hot mess of a marriage. I felt it was a bit rushed and made me think Darby is a bit naive. I also felt that her plan left something to be desired. I mean, there were some holes you could drive a truck through. Seriously, how did she and Jack not realize that? Again, I'm left thinking Darby is too naive to live.

The end felt a bit obvious to me. It was satisfying and everything is wrapped up in a nice little bow, but with a story like this, I didn't expect such a nice, neat ending. The story had such potential in the beginning, but it fell flat for me. ( )

I was drawn to this book by the book cover first and the summary second. Now, this is how you start off a new series. This book was so easy to read. It was smooth. A bonus as I was reading this book on my computer. I found myself not wanting to step away and keep reading.

Darby is my kind of woman. A strong, intelligent woman. Oh, who just happens to be a sharp shooter. So don't mess with her. The author did a great job of making sure that Darby was not painted as a victim but a fighter. While, I did appreciate the romance between Darby and Jack; I kind of wished that there was no romance. Darby was coming out of a violent relationship only to fall into Jack's arms (predicable). Yet, the few intimate scenes in the story were very brief like PG. I look forward to checking out the next book in this series. ( )
