Book Review:

Another excellent story with deep character development and a real, raw look at painful family dynamics that shaped each character. I loved the psychological tension that never let up. I’m obsessed with trying to figure out the who-dun-it and I was always left guessing on this one. The romance was a nice, slow build of friends to more and the conflict between them had nothing to do with fear of losing their friendship should a relationship develop. I loved that the author took another tactic at keeping the hero and heroine from falling for each other. The prologue hooked me and pulled me right into the heart of a gripping story of love and forgiveness.
