***I'd been gifted a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review***
I liked this story. I like the elements of action and suspense embedded within it, and I also liked the fact that this was a younger woman/older guy story because there aren't many out there so this one sort of stands out.
I liked Liberty, and honestly I liked the fact that she was stripper...well, I mean I thought it was unfortunate, but I liked the fact that she didn't let it define her. I also liked the way the author described the grittiness of strip bars, and how Liberty often felt degraded because of what she did.
Okay, moving on...I thought the plot was paced well for the most part. There were certain parts that seemed a bit slow- moving, but I was intrigued enough to continue reading. The story shifted from past tense to present tense then back to past, which was a little weird.
John was likable enough. I can't necessarily say that he was swoon-worthy, but I can understand why Liberty was attracted to him. He was much older, but Liberty was mature for her age so the age difference didn't really bother me.
This ends in a cliffhanger. I don't normally like them, but with this story it seemed fitting. It wasn't like other stories where you feel cheated as if the two books should've been one. I've also been given the second book to review, which I will start soon so I'm lucky in that aspect. Overall, it was a good story--one that I feel comfortable recommending.
