Acción irresistible. Una historia de amor aderezada con suspense que se convertirá en el nuevo best seller de Sparks. Julie Barenson es, a sus veintinueve años, demasiado joven para olvidarse del amor. Su amado esposo murió en un trágico accidente cuatro años antes, haciéndole dos regalos antes de su muerte: un cachorro llamado Singer y la promesa de cuidarla para siempre. Ella sigue recordándole, pero siente que por fin ha llegado el momento de rehacer su vida. La pregunta es, ¿con quién? Quiza con Richard Franklin, un hombre guapo y sofisticado que la trata como a una reina; o Mike Harris, el mejor amigo de su difunto marido y un hombre sensato y cabal. La toma de una decisión deparará a Julie momentos de felicidad que no había sentido en años. Pero una pesadilla asomará en su vida justo entonces: los celos la sumirán en una espiral de obsesión y muerte. ( )

Molto bello. Storia d'amore e thriller, con cane supereroe. Mozzafiato. Anche il peggior criminale non deve sottovalutare la forza delle donne e il valore dei nostri angeli a 4 zampe. ( )

An okay story. Sad, but not as sad as I expected from a Sparks book. ( )

Slow start, but the story gains momentum and roars to a finish. Part romance, part suspense, this is also a love story to a dog. ( )

What an entrenching story. Once again, it is shocking to me that a man can write these fantastic books for women. This one was both a romance and thriller. The story of a woman and her dog and her finding love again. It also involves a man who becomes obsessed with her and stalks her. Very scary thing to endure for any of us. If you have ever had someone act even remotely like this guy to her, you will be able to relate to her character and her fear of this man. Do not read if you cannot handle tear jerkers that involve the fur babies in our lives. ( )
