Reviewer’s Thoughts

A book about a couple, one a Doctor the other a lawyer.  One is escaping the past, while the other is being  stalked.  Not your typical romance mystery book.

The Doctor is Lauren Hunter and she is escaping her past.  Josh Brandon is the ADA who is having a little problem with a stalker.  This made the book different because in other books it is typically the female being stalked and the male escaping the past.  I thought this was interesting and it was a page turner.  There were times in the book where I was actually scared and had to fast read to find out what was going to happen.  The only thing I found lacking in this book was the sizzle factor with the main characters, they only shared 2 kisses through the book.  I think the stalker got more action with herself thinking about Josh.

None the less it was a good quick enjoyable read, but a little more sizzle would of made it a great read.
