I'll be watching you by Beverly Barton. ⭐️⭐️

I was kindly given a copy of this book via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. I want to firstly say that this book was not what I was expecting. This was the story of Reed who had served time in prison for murdering his Step Father. A crime he said that he did not commit. On his release he was determined to find the real killer and clear his name. Ella the highest ranking judge in town and daughter of the senator starts receiving threatening hand delivered letters.

This was the story of Reed who had served time in prison for murdering his Step Father. A crime he said that he did not commit. On his release he was determined to find the real killer and clear his name. Ella the highest ranking judge in town and daughter of the senator starts receiving threatening hand delivered letters. Someone is watching her, wanting her and promises revenge. What I was not expecting was the detailed sex scenes which were in nearly every chapter in the first half of the book. Sex scenes do not bother me if they are relevant to the story. In this case I felt that they were just there for the sake of it, maybe to appeal to Sylvia Day or E.L. James fans. Looking back on the synopsis of the book it does mention something about Sylvia Day fans which I obviously missed when I requested the book, so maybe it is unfair me marking the book down for this reason. I was really interested in the actual mystery of whether or not Reed did kill his Step Father, and if not who did. I also really wanted to know the identity of the person behind the threatening letters. The ending really did surprise me and up until then I felt the book was really predictable. I was so happy to get this book finished. I would, however be open to reading other Beverley Barton books but I would look more closely at the book description.
