3 Stars (3 1/2 Stars)

Another exciting read by this author.

Negative Content.

A female doctor offers for a male patient to stay with her for a night and then see how he is in the morning, and if he don't have any issues for the next forty-hours, she'd consider clearing him.(it's not a good idea for a man and woman that are not closely related to each other to spend the night in the same house, even if nothing happens). Him staying at her house is mentioned three more times later in the book.

A mention of the doctor thinking to her self that this was the first patient that she had ever invited into her home, or brought home to keep an eye on while they healed.

A mention of a mother having cheated on her husband, then left her husband and daughter to marry the guy without one glance back (before the book starts).

Trigger Warnings

A mention of a blood soaked sleeve.

A mention of a bad guy bleeding all over somebody's kitchen floor (no details.)

A mention of a mans past alcohol addiction.

A mention of a past witness having had his wrists slashed (no details.)
-------
A son says that he thinks he hates his mother, because she was so mean.

A woman remembers when she was young, hearing her mother telling her father that she hadn't wanted her in the first place. That her daughter was the reason she was so miserable. Her parents had her out of wedlock.

-Typos-

In the front of the book, the main male character loses his gun and doesn't know where it went. After running from a bad guy, it mentions the main male character gripping his weapon in his hand and was watching for the bad guy.

Conclusion:

First of all, the cover is really neat and has great detail. And the book was plum full of exciting and unexpected twists and turns that keep you guessing.

If I had to name what lowered the rating, it would be the main male, and female character staying in the same house, and the mention of a woman being pregnant before she was married.

I was not required to write a review, and the thoughts above are my own. ( )

"Out horseback riding, Dr. Katherine Gilroy accidentally stumbles into a deadly shoot-out and comes to US marshal Dominic O'Ryan's aid. Now with Dominic injured and under her care, she's determined to help him find her brother - the fugitive he believes murdered his partner. While Katherine's sure her brother isn't guilty, someone's dead set on killing her and Dominic . . . and finding the truth is their one shot at survival."
Twists and turns abound with a nice mix of family issues that serve to complicate things even further. Ms. Eason writes a great story full of encouraging the human heart to always try to find the good in people even when they probably don't deserve it. ( )
