With 929 Reviews, this book has captured the readers attention. Though there are some definitely contrived and awkward passages, the descriptive narrative really holds the readers attention. Ms. O'Connell has a definite talent for painting the visual - one could easily be transported to the wooded hills of Montana and all its back roads.
Aelissm Davis has escaped a questionable relationship, and finds herself happily ensconced in a small town in Montana. The locals have all the right color and flavor, leaving her feeling welcome and safe. Living in a small cabin on her grandparents property, she finds herself surrounded by loved ones when her best friend and foster child take up residence as well. Things begin to take a turn when threatening letters from her ex-boyfriends best friend start to arrive.
Enter Patrick O'Neill, a police detective in a small town in Western Washington. Licking his own wounds, Pat is having a hard time coping with the betrayal of his ex-girlfriend. Needing separation, Pat finds himself parked in Aelissm cabin, providing protection. Lust at first sight occurs, but it is their journey to love that is charming.
There are several predictable occurrences in the book, which leave me wanting. The one twist that occurs is not believable, though it does make the reader ponder when compassion and redemption can take place. I hate spoilers, so I won't reveal anything. I will simply say that I would have like more tension in the twist - this would have transformed the book from a three star to a four star book, for me.
