ARC received for an honest review

I vacillated between 3 and 4 stars for this read, so 3.5 it is.

I did enjoy our lovelies story once I got into it, however I did find that it was not holding my full attention and it did take me a few days to finish it. That is probably just going to be a me problem.

To me, Body of Trust was like a Mafia-Lite story. I have read and loved many mafia books these past few years, and they were darker and grittier than what I felt reading Body of Trust.

To me, I did like the romantic parts of the story, but it did not feel that suspenseful. I pretty much guessed what the leading man was up to in the first chapter or so. And to me I felt our leading lady was just a bit too naive about her family and the business they were in. And as for her mother - gah I just wanted to scream at her.

She did grow on me in the end though and her strengths did shine through.

I know it makes it sound like I didn't like this book, however that would be wrong. I did enjoy it in the end and was happy with where our lovelies ended up.
