Don't be scared off by the fact that this is a second book in the series.  It is a great read all by itself.  The author does a good job of working background information in on Angela and her family, some of which I am assuming you would have learned if you read the first book, heartbeats.  But it reads as being very essential to the story, not like sometimes when you know you are being fed information from previous books.  Does that make sense?Angela is a strong female lead (we need more of these!) and she follows her heart more than she follows the rules.  She isn't afraid to break some if it is going to help someone who might be in a bad situation.  Like with the baby that is left on her back porch.  She calls an EMT (seeing she is one herself) before she calls the police.  Then continues to check up on the little baby boy as he undergoes surgery just because he needs to have someone there for him.  This is just who she is and it shows in both her professional and personal life.Troy, on the other hand, seems to play by the rules.  Even if bringing down the bad guys might uproot innocent <victims> lives, he is able to do his job without thinking of those consequences.  Somehow he and Angela continue to cross paths.  Troy is working on bringing down a human trafficking ring and unbeknownst to Angela, she is involved with some of the people on both sides of that ring.The pace of this story was just perfect, it was quick enough without seeming unrealistic.  Every chance I got I was picking this book up because I had to know how everything was going to tie together.  I also wanted to know if anything was going to develop between Angela and Troy!  I really really enjoyed this book and would not hesitate in picking up another one by Susan Rae.
