What is this book about?

When investigative journalist Reagan McAdams discovers her new husband is part of an international crime family, she flees Paris with their newborn and returns to her childhood home in New Hampshire to gather enough money to disappear forever. She’ll do whatever it takes to protect her son from his criminal father.

Rae’s first love, Brady Thomas, discovers she’s home and in trouble. She won’t tell him what’s going on, but he’s a detective. He’ll figure it out. He’s going to protect her and her son, whether she wants his help or not.

Rae would love nothing more than to fall into Brady’s arms, to allow him to protect her and her son, but getting involved with him will only put Brady on harm’s way. When Rae’s husband closes in, she has to decide what—and whom—she’ll sacrifice to save her son.

My review:

The suspense hits right away as Rae runs away from her husband and his criminal connections. While I struggled with her character at the beginning, I was drawn into the suspense as her husband comes after her. This was definitely a page turner for me and the ending was interesting and satisfying.

What I enjoyed most about this book:

Page turning suspense

What I didn’t like about this book:

Struggled with Rae’s character at the beginning

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

Would I recommend this book to others? Yes. Lots of suspense and the interesting storyline. This is the first book in the series.
