Book Description:
Does everyone have something to hide?
Olivia Winters and Max Lyon knew each other way back when, but she was one of the cool kids, and he was a bad boy from the wrong side of the tracks. Olivia's a successful model now, and Max a PI much in demand.
When Olivia's old high school friend is murdered-and a raft of "accidental" deaths may be murders, too-Max is the only man Olivia can trust to help her investigate.
As they team up, Max is blown away by Olivia's courage under fire, and Olivia finds that the bad boy she remembers from the fringes of her social circle might just be the best man she's ever met...
My Thoughts:
This was a good mystery book. Olivia has hired Max's firm to investigate her best friend's murder. She is convinced that this murder is only one of several that have happened to members of her graduating class, though the others were ruled accidents. Max is the perfect choice to pose as Olivia's fiance because he went to the same school, a couple years ahead of her, and he is the only on in the firm not attached....yet.
I loved that Olivia moved away from the small town and made a big name for herself in the modeling industry. She wasn't flashy about it and didn't seek out attention when coming back to plan the 10 year reunion, but instead she came back to find out who murdered her friend. Max was the bad boy that all the girls thought was hot back in school days and not much has changed. Though he grew up and outgrew the bad boy issues with some mentoring. The 'who done it' part of the book was good. I liked that it could be a few different people and slowly got narrowed down.
This was a 3/5 for me. I liked the mystery that surrounded the book but the romance just didn't ring true to me, especially toward the end.
