Deception

I wish I loved this more! I liked the first in the series (Reckless) more than this one - there was much of the same energy and I like the central trio of spunky female friends, but the main romance unfurled both too quickly and too slowly? Like, it was definitely a "way too fast" logistical issue from the suspense standpoint, but then oddly slow from the romance/sexy standpoint? Now I'm feeling guilty at my criticism. I will read the third in this series, I think, because Julia's character has been the most flattened and I'd love to see it complicated (plus catching the villain!), but I'm not in a rush about it now.
