I liked this one even better than I liked Trust Me. It was much closer to what I was used to in a suspense romance novel. It was great and I can wait to read Sheridan's story.

Another great thriller. It was a really good page turner and kept me interested and guessing the whole time. I thought the characters were great and I am glad this is a trilogy (sort of), I cant wait to read the other two!

Excellent! I had no idea who the bad guy was until the very end. I could not have been more surprised.
