Description

A woman’s life and love are compromised in this pulse-pounding thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Julie Garwood.

Dr. Ellie Sullivan has witnessed the shooting of an FBI agent in pursuit of a ruthless modern-day Bonnie and Clyde. The only person to see the shooter’s face, Ellie is suddenly thrust into the center of a criminal investigation spearheaded by the no-nonsense, by-the-book, and tantalizingly handsome agent Max Daniels.

When the couple is captured, she’ll be called to testify. But the Landrys have been caught before, and each time the witnesses are scared into silence—or they disappear. Now Max vows to be Ellie’s shadow, promising never to leave her side until the trial. But that could be dangerous for both of them, and it isn’t long before the sparks—and the bullets—fly.

    This one has its good and bad. Premise is interesting but the ending was so rushed. The FMC has a decent job and a backbone and is someone who is just trying to live her life, though she has family issues, a traumatic past with a stalker, and works in a hospital where bullet removals are a dime a dozen. He is a FBI agent with just the right touch of possessiveness. The ending was just so rushed and out of character for them both (minus her court scene). Reminded me of a timed exam when you realize you have 3 minutes left and are only halfway through the essay question. It was as if she hit her page or word count quota and said “ok, wrapping up five chapters into some CliffsNotes. I expected better. Love most of her other stories. This one is ok, but not a favorite.
  • Choppy and not romantic

    I forced myself to finish reading this book. It is not romantic. That was a let down. It was putting one night stands and meaningless sex up on a pedi stool. It was also very choppy. There would be so much dialogue in meaningless stuff, but then the last several chapters were just large concluding summaries so the book could hurry up and be finished. It seems like the author was just tired of writing. The first 4/5 of the book happens over a few days, then the last 1/5 is jumping months in between each page.

    I have read a lot of romance and this one hit the target for me. Great characters, great action and a great read. It's one I've reread several times now and that's always a good sign.
  • Perfect one day read

    I started this book on a rainy afternoon and was hooked within a couple of pages. It was a well written story that made the characters jump off the pages and into your mind. Great writer and I couldn't put the book down!

    Looking for an escape? This'll do it for you. Easy, warm. Last hundred pages are rushed to tie all story lines to the fairy tale ending.

    I've been a fan of this author for a long time, but this book was nothing but a waste of time for me, and an easy way for her to make money.
