A native Sooner, romance author Debra S. Cowan was born in Idabel, Oklahoma, and later moved to the Tulsa area. Like many writers, Debra made up stories in her head as a child. Her B.A. in English was obtained with the intention of following family tradition and becoming a school teacher, but after she wrote her first novel, there was no looking back.
An avid history buff, Debra enjoys traveling. She has visited places as diverse as Europe and Honduras, where she and her husband served as part of a medical mission team. Debra still lives in Oklahoma with her husband.
She is a member of Romance Writers of America and is the Past President of Oklahoma Romance Writers of America. Her writing has been called "fast-paced", "vivid", "emotionally satisfying", and distinguished by "strong, compelling characters". Romantic Times Magazine says, "Her stories have the charm, tenderness and sensuality that captivate and enchant." Affaire de Coeur predicts, "Cowan shows the beautiful promise of a rising star." And The Literary Times urges, "Treat yourself to a novel by Debra Cowan. You'll be glad you did."
This book was just average and this time we get burned on love Linc Garrett.
The first time he meets Jenna, the vet is when he is drunk and hurting, his wife left him for another man and Jenna helps him. Four years later she shows up in his ER injured and then he finds out that the monster that raped her is on the lose and terrorizing her again.
Despite being an expert at maintaining distance Linc finds himself volunteering to let Jenna hide at his place and Jenna reluctantly agrees. Jenna hates the loss of control, she has worked hard to make her life even if it is not as complete.
What I liked was that we see Jenna struggling with what happened and she didn't magically overcome her hang-ups when Linc touches her.
This book was a disappointment. It felt to long and nothing really happened. I was waiting for more background story of how the h came to be raped in the first place, how the attack actually happened. I wasn't expecting details, but some sort of background. Equally I would have liked to know more about the trial and generally more about what happened 8 years ago. The fact that we never get to know there ages also irked me.
