Meld je aan bij LibraryThing om erachter te komen of je dit boek goed zult vinden. Op dit moment geen Discussie gesprekken over dit boek. Another exciting thriller from Melinda Leigh. You are shocked within the first 5 pages. Some would fear what is to come after those pages but if you love a good thrilling ride with a side of romance then step on board and hang on. Jayne Sullivan is a photographer and has come to town looking for the illusive sculptor her sleazy tabloid boss sent her to expose. She doesn't want to do the job but she needs the money because she feels guilty about not being about to financially help out her brothers. She hasnt had an easy time of it as she was attacked when she was in college and wears the scar from it on her face. Reed Kimball quit his job as a homicide detective and took his son and fled the city 5 years ago when his wife was killed and a media storm converges on them. Reed is also full of scars but his are on the inside. From the outside the little town of Huntsville, Maine looks like a quite peaceful town. What no one realizes is a killer with an agenda is among them. From the first page until the last page our heroine is put through the ringer. There are a few threads not wrapped up at the end of the book. The author has done a great job of hooking this reader for future books in this series. I really enjoyed the story in this book. It is a bit far out. But I can handle that. Druid ritual sacrifice does not stretch me too far. If you can deal with that, I think you will like Jayne and Reed who are thrust together by danger and weather. I confess, I love a good snowbound story. Not really sure why. Both of the lead characters are damaged (of course) so distrust and fear of commitment are impediments to the relationship. But despite their personal issues, Jayne and Reed are both formidable fighters when they or their loved ones are threatened. I particularly like Jayne because, although she seems to have a "kick me" sign permanently attached to her, she is not a wimp or whiner. She takes control and saves herself.

Reed Kimball has taken his son to rural Maine to get away from the notoriety he gained as a homicide cop in Atlanta accused of his wife's murder. The lack of a quick suspect caused the tabloids and newspapers to focus on him even though the cops knew he had an ironclad alibi. Now he's doing handyman work and secretly building a career as a sculptor.
There is a big secret hidden in this small town which Jayne runs into right away when she arrives. Someone tries to kidnap her! Recently two boys had gone missing in the woods and only one of their bodies has been found. Reed thinks there is evidence of foul play, but the deputy sheriff wants to wait for confirmation from the State before he investigates. He's too busy campaigning for the sheriff's job and too busy resenting Reed's previous experience in Atlanta to do his job.
The first kidnap attempt leads to a string of other attempts to kidnap Jayne. Reed doesn't want to get involved with a woman who is just visiting but she is able to get under his skin. His anti commitment attitude is crumbling more and more as he gets to know Jayne.
This was an engaging and action-packed romantic suspense title ably narrated by Scott Schumaker. I loved the slow building romance between Reed and Jayne. I liked the way they grew to trust each other and share their secrets despites those same secrets threatening any possible romance. ( )
