My Review: 4 Stars
Shannon's life seems to be perfect, but when her boyfriend, Mark, surprises her with a gun, instead of a ring, her life drastically changes. Since Mark is relentless in his quest to get her, she gets a bodyguard/roommate--Rick, an undercover agent.
This story is thrilling and face-paced, but I had things figured out pretty quickly, and I wanted a good surprise. Shannon is a normal, every-day girl and I just can't imagine the fear she felt. Her character is written in a way that really plays that up. Rick is a real trooper to do what he has to do to keep Shannon safe. He takes his job seriously and works hard to crack the case. Mark is crazy! I couldn't figure out why he didn't just give up and disappear and his appearances are pretty creepy.
I wanted a little more depth with the characters at times--to feel their connections on a more emotional level, especially at the climax.
Since I did have things figured out, I enjoyed watching the characters put the pieces together. I was rooting for them to put an end to things and was cheering them on with each page. It's a great suspense and one that I really couldn't put down.
Content: mild violence; mild romance. Clean!
