Oboemom | Nov 27, 2009 |  To say Cooper Sullivan is less than thrilled to find himself banished to the sticks - the Black Hills of South Dakota - for the summer while his parents attempt to save their marriage (and fail) is putting it mildly. But his grandparents and Lil Chance, a young neighbor, gradually change his mind. Flash forward a few years. Lil's dreams of a wild animal sanctuary have been realized, and Cooper's back, as well. But all is not as idyllic as the scenery. A stalker is bent on wrecking havoc, and he's leaving a trail of bodies in his wake. His next target seems to be the sanctuary and Lil. Can she and Cooper mend their fences enough to survive? The plot is vintage Roberts. The setting is lovely. As to how accurate her depiction of the goings on at an animal sanctuary might be? Well, let's just say it's fiction and leave it at that. (  ) fssunnysd | Nov 12, 2009 | Starts when the main characters are 10 & 11 and become friends in South Dakota's Black Hills. Jumps to the summer between her high school and college, when they become lovers. They discover the body of a serial killer's victim. Jumps 12 years, then starts the main story. Lil Chance created and runs a big cat, especially cougar, wildlife habitat -- Chance Wildlife Refuge. Cooper Sullivan has quit the New York police department. As the love story develops, the serial killer hunts them -- then they hunt him. ( ) ktoonen | Oct 10, 2009 | Very good read. I liked the story a lot. Reminded me of Montana Sky a bit though... ( ) plunkinberry | Sep 28, 2009 | After reading this book, i've promised myself one thing and i truly, sincerely, plan to stick to it. I will NEVER EVER read Nora Roberts again. This one was shockingly boring. And its fromt he NY times bestseller author? Puh leeeeez....you got to be kidding me. Now, these are solely my views and dont mean to offend anyone, but this book is horrible. What was it? A mystery? Coz i didnt see any of it till the last few chapters, and mind you the book is like 31 long chapters. This mystery sure did lack mysterious events, besides the fact that there were some killing incidents mentioned here and there in the book. I really wish that the author could concentrate more on creating mystery scenarios rather than the romantic love scenes between its characters, especially Lil and Cooper who seemed desperate.

I wanted to be on the edge of my seat, but after reading 450+ pages, the climax was done in barely 5 pages. The end was abrupt and disappointing.
I will always be a Nora Roberts reader, but I won't be recommending Black Hills. (
