(I received a free copy of this book from Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.)

After her testimony sent an innocent man to prison, law student Gina Blanchard vowed to spend her life righting that wrong. She passed up more prestigious opportunities to intern at a Tallahassee nonprofit dedicated to overturning wrongful convictions. But when she catches the eye of sexy green-eyed hunk Landon Vista, she realizes there’s room in her hardworking life for a little fun. Then she learns her newest case involves the man accused of murdering Landon’s mother…and possibly setting him free.
The people of Tallahassee still see Landon Vista as their golden boy and football hero…and as the man who tragically lost his mother. Yet Landon hides his emotional scars behind his handsome smile. While working for a senator who’s tough on crime, he finds himself keeping an eye on gorgeous redheaded Gina in more ways than one. But as their passion simmers, their secrets build…until Gina’s latest case collides with Landon’s heartbreaking past, threatening to tear them apart forever.

This was just a little bit "meh" for me - cardboard characters, boring storyline and a romance that was just beyond belief (in a way that makes you wonder what the author was thinking...)

Look, I can see why people raved about it - lots of ever-popular elements are present, but I am always looking for something a little different. The blurb promised that - but it didn't really deliver....

While discovering that they've each had a hand in sending an innocent person to prison, Gina Blanchard and Landon Vista grow attached to one another and develop a relationship. Both are carrying baggage and harboring secrets that makes them afraid to move ahead.

Good characters and an interesting storyline make this one a good read.

I could not get into this book so I am going to pass instead of forcing myself to read it and give a lower rating.
