Children's clothing designer Mary Wade Kimball's soft spot for animals leads to a hostage situation when she spots a briar- entangled kitten in front of an abandoned house. Beaten, bound, and gagged by the two thugs inside, Mary Wade loses hope for escape when a third villain returns with supplies.
Discovering the kidnapped woman ratchets the complications for undercover agent Brett Davis. Weighing the difference of ruining his three months' investigation against the woman's safety, Brett forsakes his mission and helps her escape, the bent-on-revenge brutes following behind.
When Mary Wade's safety is threatened once more, Brett rescues her again. This time, her personal safety isn't the only thing in jeopardy. Her heart is endangered as well.
Here is what I thought......
I have really enjoyed reading this book. It starts off very fast paced and I was a little worried that the story would be told too quickly and then the rest of the book would drag along. That actually didn't happen so I was glad for that. The Author has a good writing style. I stayed very engaged throughout the whole story. I enjoyed each character very much and I think my favorite character was Brett's Grandmother, Gigi. She seemed like somebody I could be friends with. I also really liked the setting. I have been reading a lot of books in the Carolina's lately, so maybe I should visit there sometime. The author does an excellent job of keeping the story going and having just enough suspense to have you wanting to know what's going to happen. I recommend this book for any avid reader. I received this book through LitFuse Publicity for free. A positive review was not required. All opinions are my own.
