I really wanted to love this book. The premise was great.

Chloe and her best friend, Sebastian, are waiting for her parents to pick them up from a party. It is taking way too long, and then the police come and tell Chloe that her parents were in a terrible car accident and are both dead. Chloe goes to the hospital and is escorted home by someone claiming to be her Aunt Jill.

When she arrives at her house, it is being protected by U.S. Marshals, and she finds that her parents were murdered. They were in a witness protection program after her father testified against the mob. Chloe is devastated, to say the least, but the worse thing is that she must cut ties with all of her friends at her high school and town. She has to be protected and must change her identity and become someone else.

If the author had just written about that I would have really liked the story, but she had to make Chloe a basket case and one who was just too emotional for my taste. I think I am just not the romance reader anymore. I want my heroines to be smart and to work things out for themselves. Chloe has to choose over her best friend and a Marshal to love. She keeps going back and forth and gets mad at the strangest things.

I think that if I was younger I would have loved this book, since the heroine seems to act like a 17-year-old. So please read this book if you like romance with a little mystery thrown in.
