Summary
A creatively woven story with characters that are realistic and and able to pull the heart strings. I both laughed and cried while reading this book. The story behind the
romance is intriguing and suspenseful. Some characters you will love,some you will hate and some you will come to love.
Violence There are murders and domestic violence but it is not overdone and not detailed.
Sexual There is one scene with some detail and quite a bit of lewdness.
Drug & Alcohol Drunkenness is portrayed in several scenes.
