" Very interesting the way Maria dealt with her evil father,by shooting him and throwing his ashes in the river. "
" Not bad, but I don't think I'll read any others by this author. I just didn't really dig any of the characters. "
" A straight-forward romance thriller with enough twists and turns to keep me interested! The plotting and writing kept me turning the pages, late into the night. "
" I've read many fanfics that were better than this. Falls very short compared to her previous works. "
" Maria Slade finds that the man who raised her was not her real father. Now she tries to find who killed her mother in front of a young four-year-old Maria who surpressed her memories. "
" Good mystery-suspense. Fine romance, too. "
" I read the series in order, in one weekend. It was like reading the same book over and over. Certain phrasing was the same, situations repeated from book to book. One book could have covered the entire series. "
" First book of a trilogy. Very good. "
" Not Sala's best work, but still enjoyable! It wasn't as emotionally intense for me as some of her older novels are. "
" Cannot wait until the next one comes out!!! "
" Awesome book. Wonder how the rest of the series will pan out. "
" Good book. First of three. Typical Sharon Sala/Dinah McCall fare. Fast paced. The story is a little convoluted and unbelievable; but doesn't detract from the book. "
" Wow, this one of three books written by Sharon Sala, great reads!!!!!!! Contemp, Thriller, romance! "

" First book I've read by this author ... probably the last. Interesting topic, not very good writing ... poor dialog. "
" Love, love, love Sharon Sala books. "
" loved this book. kept me going back for more. couldn't put it down "
" A suspenseful romance about family secrets, faith in God, and compassion. The plot is loose and coincidental, the number of dead bodies and injuries seems inordinantly high, and the romantic relationship is under-developed. "
" A good read. Possibly not her best effort but the story moved along and I loved the characters, especially the sub charcters. Can hardly wait til the next 2 books come out! "
" This book was a little hard to get into but well worth the read. "
" this book was great . I really enjoyed this book "
