Mary Fricke keeps you guessing. She’s a master of the romance genre and reading her depictions of relationships between men and women can be as maddening as living in one, and therein lies her genius. When a man and a woman are obviously meant for each other, but fail to hit it off, sparks can fly. As an observer, sometimes you want to crack their heads together and shout, “PAY ATTENTION!” But you are left on the outside, watching. Watching the feelings develop, the missed communications, and sitting helpless as danger threatens.
Sparrow is one of those books. Jani and Rick are obviously meant to be together, and maybe Rick knows it but Jani doesn’t seem to. She’s been hurt before and she’s a little gun shy, which makes her suspicious, especially when it becomes clear that someone is stalking her. The only question is…who? She thinks she knows, but does she really?
Sparrow is a nail-biter from page one, every bit as compelling as Pigeon before it. Don’t miss a single breathless scene of this one. Highly recommended.
