Book Description

Publication Date: September 1, 2006

Brilliant beauty Laura Caldwell and her new husband, detective James Carter, try to begin a peaceful new life in a Cayman Islands paradise, free from the enemies of the past. It's a beautiful dream--but for this passionate pair, can it ever come true…?

From avenging her father's death to bringing down Philadelphia's most corrupt families, gutsy financial genius Laura Caldwell has finally found the calm after the storm. Ensconced in a luxurious island villa, and recovered from disasters both natural and criminal, newlyweds Laura and James have retired from the business of ridding the world--and their lives--of violence and deceit. With their enemies either behind bars or dead, and Laura's bank account in the millions, their life is now filled with love, family, leisure--and the unsettling feeling that serious trouble is never far behind. Maybe it's just paranoia, a habit of staying one step ahead of danger. But when they get a tip about a brutal killing back home in Philly, their worst fears are confirmed--and their heaven on earth quickly becomes a hell. For all their enemies have left is revenge--something no one knows more about than Laura. Now the couple will have to figure out who has the resources--and the guts--to come after them. But will it mean leaving paradise? And can they come out alive?

The third in a series of four books and I have to say my trust in this author was not shattered. The storyline kept the momemtum set in the first two books and continued right to the end. The characters grow and evolve, the bad gus try to maintain their status quo but as with all good books, the good guys win in the end and the bad guys get their just desserts. Ms Banksm, once again, proved to be a capable author who can maintain a storyline and keep the reader interested.

I read all four books in Leslie Esdaile Banks 'Trust' series "Betrayal of Trust, Blind Trust, Shattered Trust, and the finale No Trust" . I loved them. I am glad I discovered it after the whole series was complete because I would have hated waiting to find out how it all ended.

Laura Cauldwell a financial genius is the heroine of the series set outs to bring down Philadelphia's most prominent-and most corrupt-families. She schemes against crooked politicans, the Italian, Russian and Jamaican mafia to try and bring financial stability to Philadelphia's poor communities.

She incorporates adventure, political intrigue, intelligence and romance in this highly entertaining series. As usual this multi-talented author rocks!
