This was on the sale shelf at my local library. It's rare I give Love Inspired Suspense more than an average rating.

The Pros:
*The story drew me in from early on.
*I liked that it started out with Rose being the strong one and Noah being the character who needed help. I also liked that this became more equal as the story progressed.
*Oscar
*The author let the romance develop at a realistic pace.

I enjoyed this suspenseful romance. I voluntarily chose to review this story. Lots of action in this and kept me turning the pages late into the morning. I've given this a 5* rating. This was a case of being in the right place at the wrong time and suffering the many consequences' from this. But she was rescued by her long time crush, over and over again. Of course, she was a self sufficient woman, she could take care of herself. She just had dreams of traveling that she was saving up for. There was a lot going on in this story, family, friends and the police force being called in fast. I really enjoy this author's work.… (more)
