Without a Word

by E.C. Sheedy

I WOULD LIVE FOR YOU. Deep in the woods, a runner takes long strides, satisfied that at last she's on the right path. She's done what she had to do, and she'll make the best of her second chance. She'll live by the motto on her t-shirt: life is good. Only when the surprise visitor with the familiar face steps from the cover of tall trees, does she learn something else: life is also short. I WOULD DIE FOR YOU. Camryn Bruce can't believe her best friend has been brutally murdered. Now Camryn is the guardian of her precious little girl, Kylie. To Camryn, Kylie is like a gift, the daughter she could never have. But other people want Kylie, too. And someone will do anything to get her-lie, cheat, steal, and worse. So much worse. I WOULD KILL FOR YOU. Dan Lambert may only have married Kylie's mother to help her out, but that doesn't change the love he feels for the little girl who has always called him "Daddy." He won't sell out on Kylie, and if that means getting into Camryn's life, so be it. He hadn't counted on the hunger she'd awaken in him, a passion he never thought he'd find again-a happiness that could be short-lived. Someone is waiting, watching.wanting. Someone whose dark passions will not be denied. And Dan's protection may not be enough to stop a twisted killer from getting close enough to kill.

About the author

I live on Vancouver Island in the moody, green, and rain-washed Pacific Northwest. So when I'm seriously story challenged (too often!) I often walk the beach and commune with the stunning and multi-talented Mother Nature. (Make that beg for inspiration!) If that doesn’t work, a few minutes thinking about the quirks and foibles of human nature usually does the trick.

I dislike cooking.
I dislike nosy people.
I dislike too many rainy days in a row.
I dislike snakes.

And the only word I hate is hate.

I love reading, writing, my sons, my sister, my twin granddaughters, my Rhodesian Ridgeback, Boon--and most of all my first and last husband, Tim.

You can follow me on Twitter, if that's something you tend to do. @EC_Sheedy I also mess around on Tumblr. That's here: http://ecsheedy.tumblr.com/

Had a hard getting into but finally did and truly enjoyed it!

OMGAWD! Loved this book....it had everything - sex, murder, interesting character development. The only disappointment I may have is in the reveal of the murderer BUT, not enough to upset me too much! If you like a good story that keeps you reading, and has a little steam (a little, mind you - compared to other books I have read), this is a GREAT pick!!

Eh. This one was okay. Storyline was interesting enough, and the whole scene with Gina was engrossing.. but eh. I didn't like the way the killer was just revealed out of the blue like that (although it was someone I hadn't suspected; Gina was too obvious, Erin had been my pick) and to not have any kind of storyline closure with that bugged me.

Predictable.

So, so book.

She does have good character development but too many characters doing the same thing.
