Once I started reading, it didn't take long for the story to reel me in.  Keely and Logan come across as real people who are dealing with real life in the best way they know how.  They are protectors at heart and that innate quality comes through in the story.  Keely protects as a member of the Child Protective Services; Logan is a cop.  Their past history is somewhat cliché; at 18 he joined the Marines at her mom's urging thinking that was the best thing for Keely.  She never knew why he left; just that he had, without saying goodbye, no less.  However, their reunion is anything but clichéd.  They have real issues to work through.In addition to strong characters and a well-written story, Fields includes some of the City of Baltimore in her narrative.  Not enough that the City becomes a major character, but enough that you get a feel for the environment.  As I have spent several enjoyable weeks in Baltimore over the years, it was enough for me to remember how much I enjoyed the City.  For those that have not had the pleasure, the references will not overwhelm.Fields manages to weave a lot of potentially unrelated threads together in a short amount of time.  There is nothing excess in this book.  There is nothing introduced that isn't successfully resolved by the book's conclusion.  This was a quick, easy read I really enjoyed.
