I read something similar to this, a convict who fell in love with an art dealer. It was great at first but it wasn't executed well. Maybe this will give me the fix I sorely missed from that read.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11113033902410883148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3769483260772738867.post-20607359509818285352014-04-14T07:25:53.561-07:002014-04-14T07:25:53.561-07:00Is this the one you told me about that I wanted to...Is this the one you told me about that I wanted to read?

The only book I've read where I've liked the killer was J.A Redmerski's Killing Sarai, but in that one everyone is a killer. I don't understand when authors romanticize killers as well, so I typically tend to shy away from these books. <br /><br />I'm glad to hear that this is different. I'm so curious as to why the guy is in prison in the first place. I definitely need to check this book out. It sounds like the perfect book to read in between YA novels. <br /><br />Great review, Andrea!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3769483260772738867.post-75836213711189977592014-04-14T05:39:20.368-07:002014-04-14T05:39:20.368-07:00I am not only for a truly "bad guy" hero...I am not only for a truly "bad guy" hero either, I do not see the appeal with those so I am glad you mentioned that it works here and clearly there is more to the story.

I bought into Annie and Eric but the how it happened in general felt wrong - not so much for them but for women who do that with much angrier guys. <br /><br />Having said that my opinions kept changing throughout the book - and I love when that happens. I felt like McKenna challenged me and my perceptions.

Well, there's a prison guy getting it on in Believe by Erin McCarthy too so I don't really mind. It all depends on the guy what he did to get himself in prison. I'm glad that this book doesn't romanticize the convict theme, but I am glad that it gives a mature look on the whole things. I'm so happy that you enjoyed this book, Andrea! :)Siirihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18265532869057616598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3769483260772738867.post-76045476799633704592014-04-13T22:58:34.440-07:002014-04-13T22:58:34.440-07:00Oh love her books.
