This book was even as good as The Price of Passion, and that was good. I liked Audrey. The fact that she was betrayed as she was and how she handled things was just great.A lot of people couldn't handle what she saw and moved with the grace that she did, but she did. Another good read.

This is a story with a number of twists and turns that will keep the reader turning the pages. A good secondary story line involves Audrey's friend, MaryBeth and Maxwell's partner, Danny.

Enjoyed this book as much as I did "The Price of Passion." This book has it all - suspense, mystery, & sensual romance. Author does a good job catching your attention in the first couple of chapters (drama at the beginning - once again) & carries you on a roller coaster ride throughout the book, but manages to bring you down safely at the end of the book. It's a must read!

I received the book on a Thursday evening and I finished it on Saturday morning. I thought the book was a romance novel, a thriller and funny all in one. I'm just glad she found someone that really loved her for who she was and not how she looked. I loved everything about the book. I'm looking forward to the next novel. Keep up the good work.
