"This book was probably one of my favorite books ever. A girl with a troubled past, mystery, deceit, lies, intrigue, a guy to sweep her off her feet, secrets and forgiveness - How can you go wrong??? It is a little Gastby, some Monte Cristo, with an old time take on Safe Haven." — Christine (5 out of 5 stars)

" This was our attempt at adding novel length fiction to our Literati/Poetry Guild meetings. It actually went fairly well. Three of us read it, and had good discussions. I am not certain at all if it was 2004 when we read it, but it was obviously before Dawn moved to San Francisco. "
