Received from:  purchased on Amazon.comCategory:  Romance ThrillerCharlotte, who is called Charlie by her friends, wakes up in the hospital with no memory of what has happened to her.  She has police protection at her door because she is the only one to have escaped from Loverboy, the serial killer terrorizing New York.  Her protection, Nick, has been assigned to accompany her home when she leaves the hospital in the hopes of keeping her safe until Loverboy can be caught.  Beyond protecting, Nick works to help Charlie heal emotionally while her body heals and the police work the case.A few days ago, I posted an excerpt, the first chapter of this book, as a spotlight for the re-release.  When asked to do a spotlight for this one, I jumped on the chance.  Knowing how much I loved the Believe series books that I have read, I just knew I wanted to read this as well.  I one-clicked that morning.  As soon as I cleared my calendar,  I devoured Loverboy.  This was no fantasy.  Instead, this story is gritty and scarily real.  I could not put it down.  This was a read a paragraph while at the red light kind of can’t put it down.  The suspense was well written and the love story was not rushed.  Trista has tackled a subject that frightens all women as we balance independence with the evil that pervades this world, and she did it with gentleness and respect.  I look forward to more stories from Trista, both real and fantasy.Recommended for:  18+ due to adult theme, rape/violence survivor storyGrammar/editing:  A – near perfect
