3.5 stars
This book starts off slowly as Marcus Granton deals with having not only Lillian but also a sweet little girl invade the privacy and isolation of his home at the same time. Marcus's first marriage ended horribly and he is not at all excited about his unwanted feelings toward both of his new visitors. Lillian has been living a fearful existence in her lecherous brother-in-law's home and when he is murdered, she is the number one suspect. The first half moves almost too slowly and I found myself abandoning it frequently and while Marcus is an interesting character, Lillian is maybe too perfect and somewhat flat. The second half of the book, though, really picks up, as does the chemistry between the two characters. Overall, I did end up enjoying this book and am curious to see if Marcus's brother Stephen will be in a future addition to the series. I received this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
