So, we finally get to meet Jillian Carter and find out what she's been hiding for 10 years. Several things, apparently. And what was in the packet wasn't what I thought it would be.

Making the case ends up being somewhat convoluted. In the end, there were more suspects than I'd thought--and some I hadn't considered prior to their reveal.

*****

I did know prior to this book that Frank Hoffman was somehow involved.

I did suspect Ian at one point, but I didn't suspect the others who ended up involved.

I did realize what Frank's wife intended to do at the hospital before it was revealed, but I thought she was doing it for a different reason than what she later revealed.

I don't think Colton's reaction to learning about Meg is very realistic. He seems to get over the shock of learning he has a daughter who's almost 10 and the anger at Jillian for not telling him rather quickly. ( )

I got hooked on this book rather quickly, but after awhile I realized it wasn't as good as it originally appeared. This is the kind of book that makes me feel like anyone can write a book and get it published. The story is trite, somewhat suspenseful, with cardboard characters. At one point the author referred to the wonders of the city where the story takes place and I realized, I had no idea where that was and I wasn't inclined to go back and try to find one reference to it. I won't read any more from this author. ( )

Perfect end to the series! Had me holding my breath - for more than one reason - from start to finish. I thought I had it figured out... And then I didn't. And then it turned out I did after all! Great, great read!! ( )

Another great book. Jillian is finally back in town and ready to share the secret she has kept for 10 years. She wants to quit running and have a better life for herself and her daughter. However someone is really trying to kill her due to the secret she has been keeping all of these years. Twists and turns, action, romance all rolled into one with this book. A must read to find out of Jillian makes it and how things turn out for her, her daughter and her daughters father who has no idea he is a father. ( )
