Pretend You're Safe was indeed a thrilling story. It had a great backstory, plenty of suspense, and the mystery was chilling and twisted. I wish I could give this story higher stars but, oh my gosh, the romance....just not a good one. Well, it could have been if it wasn't for Rylan. His reason for passionate pursuit of Jaci was weak at best. I found him to be the worst kind of alpha male. Overall, this story was fantastic with one huge exception.
