Twice.
And both times, I lost.

My Review -- 4 stars
I really enjoyed this book although I am wondering where the romance was in it. The plot is fast paced, exciting,well written and full of suspense /intrigue.
The two main characters are NOT a couple but instead are in love with someone already. If you've read book 1 you will know Aiden's background story but you can read this without having read that book. However I didn't care too much for Chloe, I think this would have been different if l had read the previous book.
I liked how Aiden struggled with his feelings for Chloe and that he remained angry at her. This felt more genuine and realistic.
I found the mix of first person chapters for Aiden and Caitlin easy to read and very enjoyable. I did struggle when the book swapped to third person POV for other characters. This is partly what lost an otherwise good book a star. For me the book didn't focus enough on either 'romantic relationship' enough so these felt under developed.
The plot idea was excellent and the story is really easy to read. However there is just so much going off that this needs to be a much longer, more detailed book as it all felt a little rushed and under developed.
That aside I still enjoyed it and read it in a day.
