A good book for a quick read. Exciting twist but once the plot was revealed the story ended too quickly

I enjoyed this book - short book. The author in the forward prepares you on what to expect. A nice tidy romantic thriller that is pretty straightforward to read.

Highly predictable, forced romance. Not Gerristen best work, but a quick read. Did not capture my attention at all. Gave it two stories for the effort it took to write.

I love her books but this one is a disappointment. To me, nothing really happens. I was not in suspense ever and just wanted to finish the book. Think this was her first thriller and it shows but thankfully her other books are better.

This was a fast-paced thriller about a slew of overdoes happening in an inner-city neighbourhood. I enjoyed the romantic aspect, appreciate the female lead, but really couldn’t get over all the stigmatic language used. I understand this was written quite a few years ago but the number of times I read “junkie” just wasn’t cool. Or the reasoning that they just wanted to get rid of the problem by killing the drug users??? I get that this is in fact many people’s mentalities, I just don’t really want to read about it. So just 3 stars for this one.
