Please reprint! This was my favorite book by Charlotte Hughes! I read it while I was supposed to be working, hoping my boss woudln't come by. I stayed up half the night. Emily is one of my favorite characters! I also loaned this book to 2 friends before trading it in at a local used bookstore.

THIS BOOK WAS EXCELLENT - I COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN. YOU REALLY GOT TO KNOW THE CHARACTERS AND THEIR FEELINGS. YOU FELT THEIR ANXIETY!! I ENJOYED IT SO MUCH, AND WILL LOOK FOR OTHER BOOKS BY THIS AUTHOR.

This was my first book by Charlotte Hughes and it won't be my last. This is truly one of the best romantic suspense stories I've read so far. I do have to admit that while at work I tried to read while my boss wasn't looking, wished I could read while I was driving home and stayed up until the wee hours of the morning just to finish this book! I loved it!

Ms. Hughes does an excellent job at adding a little bit of humor into a heart-pounding, thrilling suspense novel. This is one of the best books I have read, I wish Ms. Hughes would write more suspense novels like this and Night Kills and also Valley of the Shadow! If you have not read them, you will find it well worth your time and effort. She has amazing talent.

This was a very good book. From the first page until the last you were caught and held captive. I read this book in one day. Cooking dinner and reading at the same time is not easy, but I did it because I could not put the book down for a minute! I would highly recommend this book.

This was easily one of the best mystery books I have read in a long time. I totally enjoyed reading it. Charlotte, you need to write some more books - I've read all the ones you have published and want MORE...

Religion, the Deep South and mystery engulf this novel. Emily, the 'good' child, witnesses a murder. Fifteen years later, her older sister Lurlene dies under mysterious circumstances. At that time Emily acquires her niece, Molly, who slowly melts her heart. The story continues with unexplained attempts on Emily's life and Molly changing her temperament. Neither understands why bad things are happening now.

Meanwhile, Clinton, who worked for the law in Chicago, has moved to their town. Feelings between both of them start to simmer while he keeps a watch over Emily. Written in the first person, I did not have a problem with the story. There is plenty of tension to this mystery. Who is after her and who can she trust? Will something come of her relationship with Clinton? You'll need to read the book to find the answers.

I always love it when I find a new (to me) author that gives "good read". Hughes writes with a southerner's voice. Likeable and not so likeable characters that resonate because they are so believable. This is a perfect story for us insomniacs. One that thrills, and chills and even better; one that can be consumed in a single sitting. Or in my case a single sleepless night. Oh, and the 'love interest' is an added plus.

This is absolutely not a new book. It's clearly been read several times - even the pages are yellowed. Love the author and I hope this story is good, because I feel mislead. It specifically stated the condition as NEW.

This was the first Charlotte Hughes book I read and I knew she was "my type" of author!!! I couldn't put this down and loved the heroine--fiesty, gutsy & sexy. You will NOT be sorry if you buy this book. Be careful if reading it while laying on the beach--you might forget to turn over!!!
