The thing is, she's not sleeping with the governor, but it doesn't stop the phone calls. The police stop believing her after the stalker murders an innocent in New York City to prove a point. Then, when the governor is shot in the neck, Becca takes off for coastal Maine, seeking to hide not only from the stalker but also from the New York police. For sanctuary, she goes to Riptide, home of a college friend--where she finds herself at even greater risk.
Who is stalking her, threatening her, telling her that he's "her boyfriend"? Who is the skeleton that falls out of the basement wall of her rental house after a violent Maine storm?
Unexpectedly, a stranger comes into Riptide and he's watching her. Is he a friend or an enemy?
FBI special agents Savich and Sherlock arrive to help out an old friend of Savich's father. However, this old friend's relationship to Becca comes as quite a surprise.
Is the stalker an old enemy from the past? Or an enemy who is much closer?'
Review: This was a real page-turner and super creepy. The romance is predictable. ( )

this has been a really good book. I started this book late yesterday evening. I read over half of it last night before I went to bed. ( )

Rebecca Matlock is a speech writer for the governor of New York when she begins recieving threatening phone calls from someone claiming to be her boyfriend who says he will shoot the governor. Rebecca flees to New York City where the stalker kills someone because she annoys him and then she flees to Riptide, a small town in Maine where a college friend lives.
This is part of a series with FBI agents Savich and Sherlock, though this is the first book I have read in the series. The plot moved quickly but I found some of the characters actions to be rather dumb for supposedly brilliant FBI agents. I also saw the twist ending coming from miles away. ( )

I found the idea of this book to be intriguing. The story tells of a young lady who is being stalked; she reports this to the police but they do not believe her and, in fact, begin to accuse her of causing the problems she reports. She therefore chose to take care of herself, which included getting to a small town she had heard of from a college friend. There are twists and turns in the story involving criminals and good guys.

So -- good idea. Bad execution. This is the first Coulter story I have read, and based on this book, I would not look for others to read. I was sorely disappointed. The writing seemed juvenile; I was surprised to see she had other books that had been published (this read too much like a first-time, self-published stereotype of a book.)

I finished reading the entire book, but at the end felt I had wasted my time.

Other reviewers imply that this author's other works are of better quality. Perhaps if I stumble onto another of her titles, I will give it a try. Perhaps not. I was too disappointed in this one. ( )

Coulter slipped off the edge with this one, and it is a shame. The writing was poor - were you in a hurry, Catherine? Seems so, as the dialog and misses in the narrative made this a difficult read. That, and you know . . . she sort of went right over the cliff into unreal weirdness in this one. Too many really way out there plot lines. I can handle quite a bit of 'unbelievable' but this one? Nah. Really not something I would want to repeat. It's a shame, really, as I have enjoyed the others in this series. I will try the next, but I hope her editor is back on staff. ( )
