Samantha is shocked when she learns the man she once loved is back in her home town of Serenity but before she has a chance to worry about it things go from bad to worse She is threatened by criminals who mistakenly believe she has something she wants and a little boy needs her help when he is being abused by her father.This is a rollercoaster ride of drama, action, mystery and romance which makes for a great read.
A good story and I did enjoy it, but I felt that the ending came too quickly and things were rushed at least if seemed that way to me.I liked the characters and second chance love story I received a complimentary eBook copy for my honest review As always, all thoughts and opinions expressed are my own.
This novel is about much than what the overview says Yes, there is an abused child, and, yes, Samantha does try to rescue him with the help of her ex boyfriend, John But her life is also in danger right from the beginning, a direct outcome from a very scary situation that she goes through as the book opens And it is a great way to begin a novel it got my attention, had me interested, and got me wondering what would happen next Samantha is a character who has gone through a lot and who has an in [...]

Review written for books n kissesThis is a short story about 200 pages The synopsis of this book makes it seem that the characters are on the run with this boy who has an abusive father but in all honesty the boy is barely featured for the first half of the story and while the events of the book wrap around him in the second half the child himself is not really a intrical part of the remainder of the story The story is about the difficulties that Samantha is going through and the fact that the [...]
I chose to read this book as I have read several before from the Love Inspired Suspense collection of Steeple Hill This book was definitely a quick read from beginning to end.I liked the suspense part of the story the best There were several twists to the story Not knowing what the suspects were looking for I kept reading to find out where the story was going I did have the twist figured out before the end, but it was still a good read as there was much going on than just that specifically.It w [...]

Solid 3.5 stars I liked it I liked the back story between Samantha and John and how they were thrown together again after all their years apart and how they both had to learn to trust not only each other, but themselves again This book had a lot of action in it, a lot, a lot of action and suspense style plotline but it was enjoyable and led the reader on a fun chase The romance was good as well but it took a bit of a back seat to the suspense action which surprised me because most books I read h [...]

The fact that John and Samantha were rekindling an old romance made this story work Plus, I absolutely adore Sam s dog Brutus I just wish there would have been a direct reconciliation scene for the couple.This book does get bonus points for Small Town Romance, one of the best romance novellas I ve read.

This is the second suspense in the Defenders series that deals with the heroes and heroines volunteering for CASA Court Appointed Special Advocates for children It s predecessor, NIGHTWATCH, has won numerous awards.
Rate 3 5I think that it s a good book, but I found the ending of the book is a little bit rushed and I think that the book is a bit fast paced What I liked is that I could easily visualise the scenery What I loved is how we could see both of the characters perspective.
Good stuff
