4-1/2 StarsTheresa Crawford never thought her ex-boyfriend, Max, would ever come seeking her physic help, especially since he had openly scoffed her abilities and clearly stated his belief that she was a fraud. But now Max's godson, Tommy, is missing and Max is desperate without any leads. Not only do we get to watch Theresa and Max reconnect, but we also get to watch the missing godson and one who is responsible.I really enjoyed "Desperate Choices." The writing flowed as the story progressed and moved from character to character. With the changing POV it wasn't a mystery as to what happened, but it created a highly suspenseful story knowing what everyone is doing but not knowing how it will all work out.The characters were very real and well fleshed out. By letting us into the minds of the characters, we come to understand them. Even the "bad guy" created sympathy for his cause even though he went about things in a horrific manner.  The magic aspect of the story was done very well and was finely interwoven into the story making it believable.I appreciated the romance in this book wasn't "lust at first sight" but rather a reconnecting of two people who have known each other for years.  The development of their romance was nicely done making it both believable and desirable.I was really moved by the theme throughout the story that good can still come out of bad situations and the bad choices of others.  Theresa is living proof of that--she suffered a tragedy in her teens but out of it a friendship was cemented with Remy, Max's younger brother. Not only did she gain a best friend, but it also led her to Max.  There's hope that with all that Tommy is suffering, some good will come out of it.  It is so much the opposite of blame.I highly recommend "Desperate Choices" for those looking for a well developed suspenseful story with fleshed out characters and a wonderful love story.**Received free copy from Net Galley in exchange for an honest review**
