After spending four years caring for her mother, twenty-two year old Evie Crane is starting over with a new job in a new city. Unfortunately, her new life involves working for a woman with close ties to the mob. When a short walk home turns into tragedy and Evie is left broken and beaten, a mob hitman comes to her rescue. In his debt, she feels a bond to him and wants to help him as much as he helped her, but getting close to a criminal brings her more chaos than she bargains for. Declan Lewis grew up on the streets until taken under the wing of a man with a soft spot for a child he never had. The man taught Declan all he knew, only…all he knew was being a hired killer for the Dantes family. When Declan crosses paths with a girl so unlike himself, he can't help but be attracted to his polar opposite. However, bringing her into his life means bringing her into his world, a mistake that might prove fatal. He wants to be the man she deserves, but to give her what she needs, he'll have to change. And is change really possible for a killer?

This story was a bit darker than the romantic suspense I usually stick to. I thought the love story was a little rushed and Declan’s two personalities gave me a litte whiplash. I thought Evie, the heroine, was a strong character that rose above her flaws and her traumatic past. I couldn’t decide whether she was fiercely loyal and openhearted or just plain self destructive. Mona was a maternal figure to both Declan and Evie and her matchmaking hi-jinks was both comical and sweet. Her badass mafia side was equally awesome. I thought her final scene could have had a more powerful punch to it, I was left feeling a little slighted with the quick wrap-up of the final stand. I thought Evie’s backstory was very intriguing, I was able to guess parts of what had happened to her, but the author added another dimension that really brought Evie full circle. Her and Declan compliment each other perfectly, both broken yet reluctantly open to love. I always love when two characters are brought together by unforseen circumstances and forced to cohabitate. Overall I thought it was a pretty good read and I will definitely look out for future books by Sara Hubbard, I think she will only get better from here!
