Fabulous Romantic suspense.
The mystery is a bit weak, but this book was very character driven, and I really liked that. Sam and Brette, and Eric and Hank, and even the minor characters of Tucker and Sally, were perfect in their imperfections. Brette gets involved in the disappearance of a local woman through a Halloween prank, and with her surly neighbor, Sam, through another disappearance. Hank, her son's best friend, ...

Edgy Romantic Suspense that works
Not for the squeamish, due to the plot involving S/M sex club and baby used as pawn, but Helen Myer really knows how to set up her readers to feel the story. She's taken on a challenging theme, the romance is believable and she has gone with far from stereotypical descriptions and plot. Highly recommended!

EXCITING BOOK, GREAT READING
I loved this book. Helen Myers has finally hit her stride. This is a fast-paced, well plotted story. Romantic suspense should have a great romance, inside a great mystery. This book has both. I have read some of her other books and while they are passable, this one is great. Campbell Cody is a likable, brave, determined woman. She is willing to go the extra mile for a friend. And when that ...
