Summary
Overall I was surprised at the level on the mystery and suspense for a Harlequin Intrigue book. I will be much more likely to buy another one since this one was
so good. I didn’t like that her family was such a mess. There were plenty of secondary characters to keep you guessing as to who the killer was. Interesting how they revealed the story from 5 years ago along with the current story line. It was a free book on B&N.
Violence
Language Damn is used 14 times and Hell is used 11 times.
Sexual There was only one physical scene with very few details. There was some sensuality between Dana and Hud throughout the book. For a harlequin I was surprised at how tame it was.
Drug & Alcohol dad and uncle have a drinking problem.
