Some spoilers

DNF. Sorry, I just can't get past the description of the heroine who sounds like an old hag:

"She’d certainly gained weight, and not in an I spent all my time in the prison yard pumping iron sort of way. Fine lines bracketed her wide mouth, and strands of premature gray hair glittered among the dark brown ones. Her eyebrows were thick and rough, and her gaze grew harder as he stared her down."

UPDATE: finished 17/07/2017

Ok, here's the deal. Overall, while this is not a literary masterpiece it is a good story. The problem for me is that the heroine comes off as sort of skanky (a.k.a loose with the goodies)

Homegirl is out on parole for a crime she did not commit and within a week she is begging for the guy who put her in jail to sleep with her. She propositioned him. He turned her down. She propositioned him not once, not twice, but three times!!!!!

And this is how she does it:

"“I want to rub myself all over you. Ride you and kneel for you."

No pride? Check. Absolute lack of judgment? Check. Beyond pathetic? Check.

And after all those pleas to suck his dick guess what his answer was- NO!!!!

Of course, because this is a romance he recants later and she takes him with open arms and legs. Within three weeks of her release from prison they are telling each other I love you. Huh??!!!

Then we get the ridiculous epilogue where the district attorney drops all charges against her and she is instantly a free woman because of course, this is never never land where we never age and your every wish comes true.
