The judge has really gotten herself in a bind in this book, however it's the classic "damsel in distress" here and also the "only one man can save her"...same old same old. I think Ms. Hoag ran out of ideas with this one. Some authors crank out books when they're running out of money...this appears to be the case with this book.The storyline is okay, but predictable. To be fair, there is a lot of suspense and violence, but I was sick to death of the constant sexual descriptions and the "perfect" body descriptions, especially at the age of the two main characters. If MY body was as perfect as theirs are at that age, then why are they cop and judge and not Mr. America and Ms. USA?Ms. Hoag needs to take a vacation to drum up new topics to write about.
