Forced into hiding until they can untangle the web of deceit Detective Paul Hardwick has spun, unexpectedly, Seth and Isabelle can’t stop the attraction they feel for each other from turning to love.

I like amnesia stories and women-in-jeopardy stories, so I enjoyed this read, which is both. A clean story with a subtle Christian theme. There were some inconsistencies but not enough to take away my enjoyment.

This story had so much potential that was cut short as a novella. The romance existed without a beginning and the mystery unveiled to fast. On the other hand it deserves 3 stars for good entertainment.

What a thrilling ride this book is. From the moment a Texas Ranger taps on her car window, nothing but fear follows for Cheyanne. Can he help?? Is there help for her??? Very well written. Clean. Highly recommend!!!!!

This book took place in two days. In less than one week, really about a day the main characters meet, fall in love, and go through a tremendous ordeal. It would have been better over at least a week, or a couple of months. It was an unbelievable Insta love.

I really enjoyed this romance Christian story! It had a lot of romance, mystery, action and suspense. The story of Isabelle and Seth and how God brought them together is a great story. I honestly didn’t want to stop reading this book and it was hard to put down once I started to read.
