This is a must buy!
Detective Sergeant Rebecca Frye is assigned to track down a serial rapist/murderer. She appears to get a break when there is a witness to the latest assault. Unfortunately, the witness was badly beaten and traumatized as the rapist escaped. The witness can not recall much of the encounter, but is Rebecca's best hope to catch the murderer. Janet Ryan, the witness, is hospitalized and also under the care of her psychiatrist, Dr. Catherine Rawlings. Rebecca must go through the therapist to interrogate Janet. The cop and the psychiatrist are drawn to each other as the search for the murderer and their attraction to each other intensify.
The story is a first-rate suspense novel. The sex is hot and often! The ending is terrific. This story is even better than Safe Harbor and Innocent Hearts!
Definitely a must read!!
Radclyffe has done an excellent job of bringing the reader into this book and making them forget everything except turning the next page. You hold your breath, bite your lip, and sit on the edge of your seat in anticipation.
These two strong characters, Rebecca Frye and Catherine Rawlings are complemented by Rad's equally strong storytelling skills, including realistic background that isn't sugarcoated; intrigue that rounds out the plot but doesn't overpower the love story; and, perhaps her greatest gift, depth of emotion. We readers slowly learn the hearts and minds of the people in this novel, even as they are learning and growing themselves. We can identify with the feelings of honor and responsibility as well as the yearnings for friendship, love and belonging--oh yes, and passion--not just sex, not just lust, but true passion.
A Good Romance But a Better Mystery
The gist of this novel is as described elsewhere.
This is an excellent mystery - full of twists and turns and full of suspense. A real page turner. Added to the mystery is the tension between the two main characters, Detective Rebecca Frye and psychiatrist Catherine Rawlings - well done and maintained throughout the book.
There is also romance. Radclyffe continues to develop the romance between the two women from the first meeting through the end of the book. However, one disappointment is the love scenes - terse and, well, too clinical. If you want better written love scenes, try reading Gerri Hill.
Be prepared to stay up well beyond your bedtime reading this novel. And you might as well put the second and third books in this series in your Amazon cart right now because you'll certainly want to read them too.
