[Penny Griffin]

Maybe on the strength of her first three Intrigues, Kenner was allowed to get away with submitting something this badly-written and undeveloped. The mystery is OK, other than the fact that the killer isn't really developed as a character before being unmasked and the motive is one of the weakest I've ever heard. (Apparently, being insane is supposed to explain any weaknesses in the killer's motive. I don't think so.) The love story is worse...basically it seems like an afterthought. Around page 100, it's like Kenner realized, "Oh, this is supposed to be a romance," and had the characters finally start to fall for one another. There are no real sparks between them, and Matthew seems to care more about Jillian's kid than he does about her. Matthew is sketched out a little, but I really couldn't tell you much about Jillian at all. Just one example of how lazily it's written is that Kenner never gets around to telling you where this is taking place, it's just "the city." There's no way I can get across how badly written it is; you'd just have to read it yourself. But save yourself the time: it's not worth it. This is the kind of book that gives romance fiction a bad name.

4 Stars! ~ I was immediately drawn in to the characters of this book. Matt receives a midnight call from his sister for help, he rushes to her house to discover that she and her husband have been brutally murdered. He discovers his brother-in-laws son hiding in house. Danny is 4 and terrified. Matt understands Danny's fears, as he too as a child watched his father be murdered. Jill is Danny's mother and always hated having to send her son to her Ex's. Matt helps Jill with Danny and soon they find that they are in danger from the killer. I enjoyed this book.
