I'm a big fan of Mummert's work. I really enjoyed Suicide Note and White Trash Beautiful. But this book was not very good. Cole is a huge jerk, and Lily/Rose just bows down to him and loves him? To me, this book tried too hard to be something it's not. The sex scenes were hot to an extent. A lot of the dialogue was horrible. The flashbacks come out of nowhere and the whole plot just wasn't that good. It was very transparent, but not greatly conveyed to the reader. I really think it could have been better, or not done at all. I'm still a fan of Mummert, but this one is on my DO NOT RECOMMEND list.

I feel this way about most of her books. The promise of a great, well-crafted story is there, but just doesn't deliver. And the plot holes abound...
