This is the first book I've read by Colleen Thompson, and I liked it enough to read more from her. This book was a perfectly balanced romantic suspense story. The plot is well-constructed, the characters are very interesting and readable, and the writing is strong.

Susan is an excellent heroine. She's strong, intelligent, and appealing. Luke, the hero, compliments her well because he's also a believable character that readers can sympathize with.

The pace of the story is spot-on -- I never became bored or felt rushed. And Thompson's style of writing is very engaging. She creates scenes that you can easily picture, but she doesn't overdo it.

I recommend this book to fans of romantic suspense, and I hope the rest of this author's work is as good. ( )
