Jake has felt guilty for years over the way he treated Nora the last time he had seen her. Seeing her again brings those feelings to the front and he looks forward to the chance to apologize. He is stunned by the effects that the attack had on her and wants to do anything he can to help her heal. When he finds out her attacker has escaped he is determined to keep her safe. He doesn't expect the desire he feels for her and tries to keep it under control. He doesn't want to put any more stress on her by having her worry about what he might do. I really liked the way that he was constantly thinking of how various actions might affect her and trying to do the right thing. He also came to respect her strength of will and how she used her brain and training to try to anticipate her attacker's moves. I also enjoyed his introspection and the way he tried to understand his own actions and reactions. One of my favorite parts in the book is when he talks to Nora about her scars and then demonstrates that they don't bother him. Jake comes to realize that he's in love with Nora but fears that when everything is over she won't want to stay in Conard County.
I really liked the suspense part of the story. The killer is shown and his thought processes are clear. I liked seeing the way that Nora thought about his motivations and tried to predict his actions. I also enjoyed seeing the way that Jake and Gage worked together to try to keep Nora safe. The suspense built in a believable manner all the way to the climax and conclusion. ( )
