3.0

Another chapter in the Provincetown Tales - if you like the series, you'll like the book. It is probably not one of the stronger ones in the series - I think they get diluted as she adds more and more characters.

Whatever else you may say about Rad's stuff, she doesn't let up on the action and it's hard to put them down when she keeps throwing the heroines (and the growing cast of supporting characters from her other books) into one dangerous situation after another. This one is kind of interesting as she's got a few cameos by characters in her Justice series.

This book focuses on Flynn (introduced in the previous book as a thwarted love interest), who is a priest that has seemingly lost her faith (at least in herself). She's also an EMT which gives her connections to both the clinic (Tori) and the police department (too many hot cops to name). During a call, she encounters a troubled young woman who appears to have secrets. Of course there's an instant attraction that comes to a tumultuous boil pretty fast. There's some subplots involving gangs out of Philadelphia (hence the cameos from the characters in the Justice series).

I actually didn't think that this book would close up all the plots - there was so much going on and when I realized there only x number of pages left I began to groan at the though of a "to be continued in the next book" ending. Somehow everything crashes to a close and happy endings abound. It was a bit rushed considering the number of subplots and supporting characters who kept popping in and out.
