This review is from: The One That Got Away (Urban Soul) (Mass Market Paperback)

Private school teacher Regan is in the midst of planning her summer vacation when she receives a call from her mother saying her beloved Uncle Potbelly has died. With no time to think, she packs her bags and heads to her hometown of Wright City, Texas to deal with the loss. Upon arrival she soon discovers Uncle Potbelly didn't die of natural causes, he was murdered. In THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY, readers are taken on a suspenseful ride as Regan investigates the death of Uncle Potbelly with her high school crush, Elias Johnson.

Elias has returned to Wright City to recover from his near-death accident as a DEA Agent. When his mother and family conspire to unite him with the one that got away, he doesn't need much of a nudge. With them trying to find out who killed Uncle Potbelly and the occurrences of more deaths and accidents, the couple grows closer. No longer do they have a childhood crush, they are embarking on a full-fledge romance.

In THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY there is suspense, romance and familial issues laced throughout the novel. Shaw keeps reader's attention with the suspenseful plot and keeps the romance sizzling with the frisky antics of the main characters. In fact, there were some laugh-out-loud moments. Although some of the storyline was predictable, it was an enjoyable story with some of my favorite elements: love, romance, humor and suspense.

I would like to start by saying this book was not what I expected. I was expecting a romantic story you know the typical love story. However, to my surprise this book was different. I like the love and mystery story and I normally do not like mystery. Ms. Shaw has definitely thought of a way to explain the love but intrigues the reader by adding mystery. A major con of this story is that it could have been shortened? Regan never revealed the information that her mom gave her regarding the location of one of the investors which could eliminated the elongation of the ending. I just wonder what happened to Newt?

I love the theme of this book - second chances at love! Many people experience the "right person/wrong time" relationship, and it's nice to see that the hero and heroine got the chance to make things right. I enjoyed the very authentic small town setting, too. Ms. Shaw does a great job of blending relationships and suspense to create a full, well-rounded novel!
