This was a quick evening read. It was a story of second chances and redemption.
I would consider this somewhere between slow to medium paced. I also felt like something was missing from the story line. It was written more of telling every detail from time of waking to going to bed things that happened over a couple days.
I am still not sure how Jo came about all her money or her past. The ending leaves you hanging on another character. This is the first book in the series.
This was not a bad read but just not for me.
