Publisher Description

Saving lives is Jonah Stem's job-but he usually does it at the hospital, not at 3 a.m. on the dark streets of Manhattan. When he impulsively intervenes to save a beautiful woman from a man menacing her with a knife, killing the attacker in the process, he is transformed from an overworked medical student to a hero in the media spotlight. The woman, Eve Gones, is profoundly grateful, and wants to show it. Before long, they're engaged in a wildly passionate love affair. An affair that Eve doesn't want to end. Ever.

"I stayed up until 2 a.m. reading this book! Reluctant hero Joshua Stem is being stalked by the woman whose life he saves in a way that makes Glenn Close in "Fatal Attraction" look like a Care Bear. Terrifying, compelling. I'm glad real life isn't like this. It isn't, right?"

    " So far, I think this is Jesse's best... and most disturbing. It can be unsettling at times, to the extent that it's outrageous. An excellent read, if you can stomach certain parts. "

    " I like all of the Kellerman family! great quick read the ending was a little rushed. "

    " A fun-but-dumb read. All about a young med student who saves a woman being stabbed in an alley. She winds up coming to him and they have a passionate love affair. But quickly, trouble starts brewing in all aspect of our hero's life! I know the plot twists were meant to be surprising, but they weren't. And I am a person who is terrible at guessing the outcome of stories and movies. So, that really says something. Nevertheless, I found it entertaining and disturbing enough to finish quickly. Also, all the medical stuff was like reading an ER episode, which I found very enjoyable. I did not, however, like Kellerman's canned interpretation of a highly intelligent female lead. She was one of the most horribly obnoxious characters ever invented. "

    " I didn't sympathize with the victim all that much, but boy, when it got weird, it was really weird. A couple scenes were pretty graphic. I wouldn't recommend it for the squeamish, but I did read it all the way to the end. "

    " Okay, this booked is whacked (but in a good way!!). It is gruesome in some places but totally riveting! Save the 5 stars for the best and this one was awesome. "

    " Ugh. If you like detailed descriptions of a crazy woman stalker and boring hospital training for med students, go for it. Otherwise I'd skip it. "

    " Big trouble for medical student Jonah Stem who saves a woman from an attacker by killing her attacker. Ahh, but things are not what they seem. Josh is not the sharpest tack on the bulletin board when it comes to his personal life. Nuff said. "

    " It was a quick boring read. It's well written but... I didn't think it was a good novel. I'd try reading something else since other reviews for this Author seem to be more positive than this book's review. "

    " A lot like watching a train wreck. Some of the themes and scenes are really difficult to read. In the end they tried to wrap it up with a neat little bow, which was totally misaligned with the general nature of this book. Wouldn't recommend. "

    " Yuck. This is not a literary world I want to be a part of. It is basically stalker-city, but worse (murder added). Not recommended. But the writing is actually quite good in depicting the brittleness of big city life. "

    " This book was quite disturbing, really. The imagery was a bit too powerful for me. I can handle the medical details, but the other stuff was a bit too much for my liking. This book should be x-rated. "

    " top-drawer psychological thriller. Five star books are those I can't wait to get back to or am tempted to leave my writing to read more of. This qualifies. Plus, tremendous voice, eminently readable and interesting. "

    " This book will make you re-think helping someone out when they are in trouble! While this book may not be for everyone, and there were times when I felt a little squimish myself, young Jesse is definately falling into his parents' footsteps as a writer. I look forward to more. "
