Heroine's son witnesses something in the woods and now the villains are after him and anyone who stands in the way. Enter hero, who works for the police department, and determined to keep his charges safe. Fast-paced read.
Did they end up catching the bad guys? I think the author forgot to answer this one question, instead rushed to tell us how it ended between Matt and Robin. Otherwise this was such a nice, relaxing book one should read when they are taking a break from reading other serious, outstanding books.
Pretty standard romantic thriller, but should provide entertainment for fans of the genre. Generally well written, and enjoyable, with a few moments of eye rolling. I will never understand all the relationship drama while on the run for your lives, with your kid's life in the balance, but it goes with the territory, and I knew that much going in. Made a solid weekend afternoon read.
