Teacher Michelle Girard (from the small beachside town of Coral Cove) has been getting some emails recently that are troubling her. And many of Michelle's former classmates are also turning up dead/murdered, with scattered rose petals at the scene of the crimes. (Michelle's class is having a ten-year reunion in a few weeks). FBI Agent Colin Roarke is back in town to try to solve these murders. (Michelle had a crush on Colin many years ago. Colin went to the same school as Michelle, but she was a bookish nerd back then, and she thought she went unnoticed by Colin who lived down the street from her.) Colin and Michelle start to look for clues as to who the murderer could be. Will Michelle be the "Reunion Killer's" next victim?

This was a very enjoyable read. I liked the foggy/mysterious descriptions of Coral Cove. Michelle was a likable heroine. She was gutsy at times. Colin was a handsome and popular hero, a former high school football star, war hero, and FBI hunk. The cast of characters/suspects was interesting. I had fun trying to figure out who the murderer was.

Another entertaining Harlequin Intrigue! ( )

In Ericson’s romantic suspense novel, Michelle Gerard was shocked to learn that three of her former classmates had been murdered prior to their ten year reunion. FBI Agent Colin Roarke was sharp enough to connect the dots and determine that all of the murders were related and committed by the “Reunion Killer” as he had been named.

A war hero, Colin immediately sets out to protect Michelle, especially when incidents stack up indicating she’s next on the hit list. Complications and frustration abounds and then Michelle is kidnapped with all clues leading to Columbella House, an abandoned Victorian mansion blanketed with secrets, danger and hidden desires.

A fast-paced, hard to put down addition to the Guardians of Coral Cove series. ( )
