I really enjoyed this book. There was always something going on, keeping you going. I was guilty of "just one more chapter" more than one night. The characters were great & believable. I love books with fun siblings! So happy to see there will be more. It'll be a series I follow for sure.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. It is a "romantic suspense," long on suspense and with a few mild to moderate sex scenes and some sexual tension. The story begins with a prologue which introduces a serial killer. Chapter 1 introduces the heroine, Rachel Bishop, and her daughter, Amanda, who are running from Rachel's abusive con man/husband. Chapter 2 introduces Patrick, the hero and owner of a construction company, still in mourning two years after his wife committed suicide, and struggling also with someone vandalizing his construction projects. Chapter 3 moves into the point of view of Greg Bishop, Amanda's husband. So it takes a while for all of these threads to be woven together and the author is moderately successful in accomplishing this. Things fly quickly, though, but seem to wind up equally quickly and almost too conveniently. For instance, Greg is arrested, but a man he attempted to kill in California and who has been in a coma since Chapter 3, comes "out of his coma long enough to tell his wife where to find his safe deposit box. The next line is: "Bilking people of their life savings was now an afterthought." This sentence didn't make sense. The writing is sometimes repetitive, especially scenes where Patrick is reflecting on his love for Rachel.
