Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 03 20, 2014
The story starts with a gripping scene of Claire Spencer fighting off a surprise attack. With a bit of luck and help from her neighbors the attackers are thwarted, but Claire is left to grapple with the issue of who was behind it and why. A second attempt to kill her makes clear that someone has it in for her, but she can't begin to figure out who it might be or why. Fortunately a friend recommends she call on hard-boiled security expert Riley to protect and defend her. Together they work through the who, what, and why in a well-paced story that lets both the mystery and romance unfold in a natural way without lagging or stuffing too much in too quickly.
