"Taylor Halstead, psychologist and successful radio personality, is terrified that she'll never be safe again. Coming on the heels of a series of tragic and terrible events, the e-mail sends chills racing up her spine. Her safe, secure world has already been violated by her cousin Stephanie's boyfriend, Gordon Mallory, in her own apartment. Only the door buzzer and Stephanie's intervening voice rescue her, but not before Gordon promises to return. Soon after, he is killed along with Stephanie in an inexplicable explosion aboard his yacht. Or is he?

The e-mail is just the beginning. The terror campaign escalates when an electronically disguised voice on Taylor's telephone threatens to kill her, and her life becomes a nightmare. It seems the only one she can turn to is attorney Reed Weston, her confidant, protector, and, ultimately, lover. But is Reed's determination to protect her enough to avert disaster? And can Taylor trust Gordon's identical twin, Jonathan, who always seems to show up when she least expects him?

Grief and dread unravel Taylor's sanity, playing tricks with her mind and heart. Someone out there wants her dead - a crazed fan or the troubled teenage boy she's been counseling or, impossibly, Gordon himself. His vow to return and those final menacing words - "I'll be watching you" - haunt her day and night. Whoever is out there is coming closer, and Taylor Halstead has nowhere to run and nowhere to hide." (From Amazon)

A great romantic suspense novel. Kane is an author to look out for.

I liked this book, don't get me wrong. I read it in a weekend, enjoyed the romance, and really liked the characters, but something about the way she wrote certain parts made it very obvious to me who the mystery person was going to be. Also, some of the things that she dumbed down so much or assumed we were not aware of, scientifically speaking, are actually common knowledge with all of the crime shows and books these days. I just felt some of the information was quite clear without the reiteration and oversimplification. I don't want to ruin the surprise to those who haven't read it, but once you do, I think you'll understand. I liked the book, it just kind of spoils the fun when you guess the mystery in the beginning.

I liked this book, a lot, but there is just one thing that makes me sort of...not like it. At the end, there is this huge twist about who the bad guy is, and I don't want to give it away, so lets just say it is scientifically explained. Now, from about the middle of the book on, she starts dropping hints, trying to build up to the big reveal. The only problem is, I am scientific. I love science, and I'm studying vet-medicine in college right now. As soon as the very first clue was dropped, I knew exactly where she was going with it and what was going to happen, so all the rest of the build up in the middle just droned on for me. If you know about what the big twist is from school, from watching tv, because there have been some tv shows and movies with this in it, even an episode in season six of Law and Order SVU, then it kind of ruins the big reveal for you. Although, the reveal still packs a punch because there is still something unexpected about it.

ok first of all a standing ovation for this woman, it was an excellent book you kinda knew who was being the stalker but you were always doubting that. I cannot believed he did all that just for THAT but STILL i loved this book, I could no put it down once I started. When I saw a little bit of romance i was like nooooo because I thoughts it was going to get all fluff and stuff but she balanced it out perfectly probes to her

I enjoyed this book. I believe Andrea Kane did a good job creating the romance between Taylor and Reed. There were times I thought Taylor felt a little whiny but overall I liked both characters. (And the others involved as well)

The suspense was done well. I was pretty sure I knew who was stalking Taylor, but there were twist to that, that I was not expecting.

Would I read another book by this author: Yes
