Solid 3.5.
Some very cute moments, and good action, still fast paced.
Oh, and the end fight scene? Amazing. Especially for a romance novel. That was so bad ass.
HOWEVER:
I am never one for the “I don't deserve her” storyline, and I felt like Reed's character wasn't fully developed enough for me to find that storyline compelling/sympathetic.
Secondly, the topic of human trafficking is VERY difficult because of many different reasons. So, honestly, this was a bit of a rough one to read.
