Genre: Romance Thriller
Review: Brian is a carefree attorney who has been divorced twice because the women never seem to measure up to his first love. Holly is a widow, and the six-digit income life style she was used to is no more. She is forced to raise her two daughters in a less than ideal situation (at least, in her opinion). These two come together through Holly's sister, Margo, who is also an attorney.
Margo and Brian work together and Holly is a social worker working with a murder suspect. Holly is asked to be bait for a criminal which leads to a whirlwind of danger and suspense as Holly and Brian fight for their lives and develop a relationship that neither of them were ready for.
This was such a fun story to read. The characters were realistic and fun. They had their quirks which kept me smiling and the romantic tension between Brian and Holly was well written and never made me uncomfortable. It took everything I had not to yell at my Nook and tell the characters that they were in love with each and to just shut up and kiss her but I held my tongue... mainly because my husband would have thought that I was a nutter. hehe! This really was a fun story and I love that I was able to read it just before the holiday season starts.
