"I read the second book in the Buchanan series first. I LOVED it. I then loaned it out to at least four girls at work who all loved it, too. I don't think I every got it back actually. I loved the suspense, the romance wasn't too cheesie and I even laughed out loud a couple of times."

— Wendy, 10/27/2013" I read this on a car trip to and from Atlanta. It was promising at first, but then turned into a pretty predictable romance/mystery. Of course by then I was already past the point of no return :) Could be a good beach read. "
— Lauren, 8/22/2013" This one is my favorite. "

— Charlene, 7/14/2013" I have admit to being disappointed. I adore period romances, like Garwood's earlier novels. Perhaps it is my general dislike of contemporary romances. I stopped reading this author with this novel. "
