I am going to start by saying that I really enjoyed this book and I would definitely recommend it to anyone. The spine of the book calls it a romance suspense but to me it was a suspense with a little romance thrown in. I will not be giving a summary but I may give away some details.
Although I enjoyed it, it was not without some obvious flaws.
First, the cover was misleading. I thought this would be a paranormal romance. And after realizing that it wasn't, I thought that it would be more romantic than it was. Judd and Savannah's relationship was a great adittion to Savannah's story, but I don't really view it as a main part of the story that Sharon Sala is telling with this book. However, I was not disappointed with this story at all. This proves that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover.
Second, the author's use of the word "proverbial" before every commonly used phrase bugged the shit out of me. You don't need to say something along the lines of "before the proverbial shit hits the fan" for the reader to understand what you mean. It would have been fine if she had only used it once or twice.
Third, the author repeatedly use the sentence structure of "not until..., did he/she begin to relax/calm/whatever." Again, she should have only used it once or twice.
Forth, the happy ending for me was ruined when Savannah introduced herself as Savannah Stoss-Holyfield. Why the fuck would you take that retched family's name instead of keeping the name of the man that raised you? That is so disrespectful!
Overall, I loved the book. Don't let my nitpicking keep you from reading this wonderful book. I hope to one day be able to read the rest of The Searchers books and to read more of Sharon Sala's works.
