Whoever said, "don't judge a book by it's cover" was talking about this book. My friend Cara gave me this book like 5 years ago and I thought it looked like a sappy love story so I was not keen to read...but, I picked it up to give it a try and it was very good! Luanne Rice is a bit flowery in some spots but all in all her books are great mysteries...without all the Paterson/Coben/Cornwell gore. A great summer read!

I tend to enjoy all of her books. They are easy reads, but are real life kind of stories without getting too corny/cheesy. Just enough inspiration to make you feel good without over doing it.

So far I love all the Luanne Rice books I've read. They have the perfect blend of suspense, romance, and relationships (romantic and otherwise.) I plan to eventually read all of her books!

I read like 15 pages yesterday at work (yet again) and read half the book today. It is very interesting, some mystery to as well has a little romance (best of both worlds).

Was pleasantly surprised with this book. Thought it would be a romance, but it was more of a mystery-ish. Not bad, not great.

Though trite and predictable, this was a good beach read.
